Description
Five-string Jazz Bass players know the trade-off: more range, but does it still feel like a Jazz Bass in your hands? The American Professional Jazz Bass V answers that with a slim “C”-shaped maple neck that stays fast and comfortable even with the added string, plus Posiflex graphite support rods keeping things straight and stable under tension. The ash body in Natural lets the wood grain do the talking, finished in gloss polyurethane over a satin-neck-back combo that feels broken-in from day one.
- Ash body, maple neck and fingerboard, 9.5″ radius, 20 narrow-tall frets
- 34″ scale, 1.875″ bone nut, black dot inlays
- V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups (SS configuration) — Michael Bump’s alnico blend for that balanced, honest Fender low end with real growl on the bridge pickup
- Volume/Volume/Master Tone controls, mint green 3-ply pickguard
- 5-string High Mass Vintage bridge, strings-through-body or topload
- Lightweight vintage-style tuning machines with tapered shafts for solid break angle and tuning stability
- Ships with Fender USA NPS strings (.045–.125) and hardshell case
This isn’t a Jazz Bass with a string bolted on as an afterthought — it’s built from the ground up to carry the low B with authority while keeping the punch, articulation, and slinky playability that made the original a studio and stage staple across funk, fusion, and rock. Whether you’re covering five-string charts or just want more headroom to dig in live, this one delivers the tone and the low end without asking you to relearn how to play.
