Description
Five strings, zero compromise. The American Professional Jazz Bass V takes everything bassists have leaned on since 1960—the slim neck, the growl, the versatility for funk, fusion, disco, or straight-ahead rock—and adds a low B for players who need to cover more ground on a gig without switching instruments.
- Two V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, designed by Michael Bump with a carefully chosen blend of alnico magnet types, deliver high-output tone that stays warm and vintage-correct while still cutting through a busy mix.
- The Slim "Modern C" neck profile with a 9.5" radius and narrow-tall frets makes fast lines and up-the-neck chord work feel natural, whether you’re locking in a groove or soloing.
- Posiflex graphite support rods run the length of the neck, keeping it stable against humidity and temperature swings—handy for touring musicians who play everywhere from a humid club to a dry stage in winter.
- Fluted-shaft tuning machines set an optimal break angle over the nut, tightening string windings for better sustain and rock-solid tuning stability.
- The HiMass Vintage bridge with single-groove saddles brings old-school Fender character with modern stability, and a bone nut adds a touch of natural resonance.
Built on an alder body with a gloss polyurethane finish, this bass wears a rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays and a 3-ply mint green pickguard over the classic 3-Color Sunburst. Controls are straightforward: separate volume for each pickup plus a master tone, so you can dial in neck warmth, bridge snap, or blend both. It comes strung with Fender USA NPS strings and includes Fender’s Elite Molded hardshell case, contoured to protect the instrument and built with TSA latches for travel.
Whether you’re a four-string player ready to add range or a five-string veteran upgrading your rig, this Jazz Bass V is built to work as hard as you do.
