Description
Five strings, one iconic tone. The American Professional Jazz Bass V takes the design that funk, fusion, and rock bassists have leaned on since 1960 and stretches it to cover the low B without losing what makes a J-Bass feel right in your hands.
- Alder body finished in gloss polyurethane, in Black
- Maple neck with a slim “Modern C” profile that’s fast under the palm for long sets
- 9.5″ radius fingerboard with 20 narrow-tall frets for clean bends and accurate intonation up the neck
- Posiflex graphite support rods built into the neck to resist warping through temperature and humidity swings
- Bone nut, 1.875″ width, giving open strings a bit more clarity and sustain
- Fluted-shaft tuning machines that pull string windings down tight for a cleaner break angle over the nut and steadier tuning night after night
- 5-string High Mass Vintage bridge with single-groove saddles, wired for strings-through-body or topload
- Two V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, designed by Michael Bump with a blended alnico magnet mix, driven by dual volume and a master tone control
- 34″ scale, 3-ply mint green pickguard, nickel/chrome hardware, strung with Fender USA NPS strings
- Ships in Fender’s Elite Molded hardshell case with body-hugging contours and TSA-approved latches
The extra string doesn’t come at the cost of playability – the neck stays slim, the frets stay familiar, and the pickups still deliver that vintage-leaning Jazz Bass midrange with modern output. Whether you’re covering low parts in a worship band, holding down a horn section, or just want the extra range on tap, this one earns its spot on a working bassist’s rack.
