Standard Jazz Bass® V String (Upgrade)
0136600
On its early ’60s introduction, the Fender Jazz Bass guitar immediately endeared itself to the music world, quickly becoming another Fender design classic and an indispensable element in the arsenal of many a bassist worldwide. The five-string version has also proven very popular.
Our five-string Standard Jazz Bass V incorporates many of the original model’s classic Fender “firsts,” such as the offset waist and ultra-slim fast-action neck. It’s updated here with two bi-pole pickups, American Jazz Bass knobs and a pau ferro fingerboard, giving you the best of both worlds and eras—some vintage vibe and appointments with some modern refinements.

This was my first purchase in the ways of fender bass guitars and i cannot say more about this bass. The sound quality is incredible and against what people say, Fender is still an incredible guitar maker. This bass sounds so incredible it sets you back a second and you look at the price tag mumbling to yourslef "wow". Also i have used many other bass's from ibanez ect None, I mean absolutley none can compare with the tonal magic of this thing.
