Description
Five strings means more real estate for the low end, and Fender didn’t cut corners getting there. The American Professional Jazz Bass V keeps everything that makes a J-bass feel right in your hands—the slim “Modern C” maple neck, the 9.5″ radius, the narrow-tall frets that let you bend and chord up high without fighting intonation—while stretching the range down to a low B for players who need to cover more ground live.
Michael Bump’s V-Mod single-coil pickups do the heavy lifting tonally. They’re built off classic Fender pickup blueprints but voiced with a specific blend of alnico magnet types, so you get that vintage warmth alongside a crisper, more defined top end. Whether you’re digging in for a slap line or sitting back in the pocket, these pickups translate touch into tone without getting muddy—even down on that fifth string.
Under the hood, Posiflex graphite rods run the length of the neck to keep it stable no matter what the road, stage, or climate throws at it. The redesigned fluted-shaft tuning machines pull string windings tight for a cleaner break angle over the bone nut, which means better tuning stability and more sustain night after night. The vintage-style HiMass bridge with single-groove saddles adds mass and stability for a bigger, more solid low end.
This is a bass built for players who need five strings’ worth of range without sacrificing the feel and articulation that made the Jazz Bass a legend in the first place. It comes housed in Fender’s Elite Molded hardshell case, with contoured protection and TSA-approved latches for travel.
