Description
Five strings, zero hum, all Jazz Bass attitude. This Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V gives working bassists the low B they need for modern gigs while keeping the midrange snarl and top-end clarity that made the Jazz Bass a studio staple. Vintage Noiseless pickups in the middle and bridge positions kill the hum without killing the vibe, so you get that classic growl clean through any rig.
- Double-cutaway 5-string body in alder with gloss polyester finish
- Two Vintage Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups (middle/bridge)
- Active 3-band EQ with treble, mid, and bass boost/cut, plus a passive switch for old-school tone on tap
- Five-saddle HiMass bridge for solid low-string definition and long sustain
- Maple neck with a comfortable “C” shape, Pau Ferro board, 12″ radius, and medium jumbo frets
- Four-bolt asymmetrical neck plate for a natural thumb reach across the wider 5-string neck
- Pearloid dot inlays and 3-ply black/white/black pickguard
- Includes a deluxe gig bag
The active/passive switch is the real workhorse feature here — flip to active for a punchy, EQ-sculpted tone that cuts through a busy band mix, or drop to passive when you want the raw, vintage Jazz Bass character for a warmer, more organic feel. The HiMass bridge adds the mass needed to keep a low B string locked in tune and singing with authority, whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle plucking, or digging in with a pick.
Finished in Olympic White with nickel/chrome hardware, this bass looks as clean as it sounds. It’s a genuine five-string workhorse that doesn’t ask you to compromise on tone, feel, or budget.
