The Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass is a classic bass for the modern player. Everything about the neck is designed for fast and fluid playability, from the modern ‘C’ neck profile with satin urethane finish on the back to the comfortable 9.5’ radius rosewood or one-piece maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 20 medium jumbo frets. The alder body provides that classic Fender punch and is available in a variety of exciting new finishes.
Player II Noiseless pickups deliver classic jazz bass growl while eliminating unwanted noise, while the all-new active preamp with active/passive tone control and EQ section gives players the perfect tool to dial in their favourite tones. The 4-saddle HiMass bridge, tapered-shaft tuners and TUSQ saddle ensure incredibly stable tuning, even for the most demanding gigs.

Introducing the Fender Player II Modified series. Here, classic Fender style meets professional upgrades, straight from the factory. Fender has incorporated the improvements that guitarists love, some of which were also used in the previous Player Plus series: From in-house Noiseless pickups to locking tuners that give these guitars and basses a more modern sound, more tonal versatility and improved performance.
Based on Fender's best-selling Player II series, the Fender Player II Modified series takes it up a notch for musicians who expect more. This series includes Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass models with four- and five-string configurations and combines noiseless pickups, locking tuners and upgraded hardware to take an already exceptional line of guitars and basses to the next level.
For musicians who would normally modify their instrument to improve tone, playability and performance, these instruments come factory-equipped with the most desirable upgrades - no modifications required.
In order to make it possible for everyone to have a Fender instrument , they are offered in different price ranges. The subsidiary Squier sells inexpensive models manufactured in the Far East according to original dimensions and with the accumulated Fender know-how in the background.

For lovers of hand-built instruments and guitars with Vintage flair, there is the Fender custom shop , where you can also have a guitar built entirely according to your ideas.
