FenderPlayer II Jazz Bass - Rosewood Fingerboard, 3-Color Sunburst

With its iconic growl, fast feel and flexible tone-shaping capabilities, the Jazz Bass has remained a staple on stages and in studios for over six decades. The Fender Player II Jazz Bass builds on that classic formula with a collection of player-focused refinements designed to meet the demands of modern musicians. A pair of Player Series Alnico V single-coil pickups serves up everything from smooth low-end support to the articulate bite that has long defined the model, while an alder body keeps the response balanced and resonant. The Modern C maple neck is paired with a 9.5"-radius slab rosewood fingerboard featuring rolled edges and medium-jumbo frets, delivering a smooth, tactile playing experience with the quick response and comfortable reach that are hallmarks of the Jazz Bass design. Finished in sleek gloss polyester and available in a range of iconic colors pulled from the Fender archives, the Player II Jazz Bass combines classic J Bass character with a playing experience built for today's stages and sessions. Offset Alder Body for Balanced Response and Effortless Comfort The Player II Jazz Bass is built on the foundation of a classic alder body, delivering the balanced response and clear note definition that have long made the design a favorite among bassists. Tight lows, present mids and articulate high-end detail provide an ideal platform for the Jazz Bass’s expressive dual-pickup configuration, helping notes remain focused whether you’re laying down a supportive groove or cutting through a busy mix. Its offset body shape sits comfortably against the player, creating a naturally balanced feel that works equally well on stage, in the studio or during long practice sessions. Finished in gloss polyester, the body combines classic Fender style with the durability needed for years of regular use. Modern C Maple Neck and Slab Rosewood Fingerboard for Smooth Playability The maple neck is carved to a slim Modern C profile, creating a fast, approachable playing experience that feels equally at home laying down grooves or navigating more intricate passages. A satin urethane finish promotes fluid movement up and down the neck, while the slab rosewood fingerboard offers balanced warmth and an effortlessly smooth playing surface. Rolled fingerboard edges ensure a broken-in feel from the first note, creating an immediately familiar playing experience. Combined with a 9.5" radius, narrow 1.5" nut width and 20 medium-jumbo frets, the design accommodates fluid movement across the entire fingerboard with ease. Player Series Alnico V Pickups for Classic Growl and Tonal Flexibility A pair of Player Series Alnico V Jazz Bass single-coil pickups delivers the articulate response and unmistakable snarl that have long defined the J Bass sound. The neck pickup produces full, supportive lows with smooth warmth, while the bridge pickup introduces focused midrange bite and the signature growl favored by generations of bassists. Blending the two pickups unlocks a broad range of textures between those extremes, making it easy to tailor the bass’s voice to different musical situations. Independent volume controls and a master tone control provide further flexibility, allowing players to shape everything from deep foundational grooves to more aggressive, cutting tones. 4-Saddle Bridge and Open-Gear Tuners for Reliable Performance The Player II J Bass combines traditional Fender hardware with dependable modern functionality. Its adjustable four-saddle bridge with single-groove steel saddles provides solid intonation, sustain and note-to-note consistency across the fingerboard. Standard open-gear tuning machines offer smooth, precise adjustment while maintaining the classic Fender aesthetic bass players have trusted for decades. A synthetic bone nut further supports tuning stability and consistent performance, creating a hardware package designed to meet the demands of working musicians. A Classic Jazz Bass Built for Today’s Players The Fender Player II Jazz Bass pairs the classic tone, fast feel and flexible voice that made the J Bass a favorite among generations of players with a collection of modern refinements designed for today's musicians. Its balanced alder construction, expressive dual single-coil pickup configuration and enhanced playability create an instrument capable of adapting to a wide range of musical roles without losing its distinct character. Whether providing a solid foundation beneath the band or stepping forward with unmistakable single-coil presence, the Player II Jazz Bass delivers the confidence, control and dynamic voice that continue to make the design a favorite among working musicians.
