Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass Satin V £365

[TrioRec]

Up for sale is my Modern Player Jazz Bass V Satin. Classic Fender Jazz bass with a powerful dual humbucker pickup configuration for a huge bass sound. Recently strung with Labellas' the low B is awesome.

Very cool Satin Black finish.

Alder body, maple neck with nice inlay and "C"-shaped profile, 9.5"-radius maple board with 20 jumbo frets and easy-access truss rod adjustment wheel, single-ply black pickguard and vintage-style black plastic control knobs (two volume and master tone), and a heavy duty five saddle Fender Hi-Mass bridge.

This is the famous chinese made Fender Jazz Bass, well reviewed and hard to find as a five string.

Located in South London.

A few knicks, scratch on the neck bolt cover and shiny buckle wear (pictured) but generally really great condition.

Would you be interested in a trade for this at all?

Saving up for something pricey I'm afraid…

Nice

Very tempting! Do you have any higher resolution photos so I can see the overall condition more clearly? Thanks

[therealting]

I had one of these in white with a John East J-Retro Deluxe and coil taps, and it was a monster bass. Only sold it to fund a Dingwall.

Hi guys… yes it's a really good bass…. and yes I'll post up some higher res shots…

[Marc S]

Don't think I've seen a 5 string version of one of these
Always wondered how these sounded, with those pickups?

[The GroovyPlucker]

Great sound Marc S, vastly underrated Bass, and the new Chinese made Fenders are a rival to the Japanese imho, this Bass has quite a good variety of sound options, only drawback for me was the neck was very wide, slim depth though, great price for a great bass, glwts.....

[pete_the_beat]

How much does the bass weigh?

[Marc S]

Yes GroovyPlucker,

I've got a China made Fender Jazz (with PJ pups) and a Squier Classic Vibe P - Which I'm sure are made in the same factory in China as these and the Matt Freeman's?
Yes, they're absolutely top-quality instruments with great components and superb finish. I'm sure these will one day be regarded a bit like JV's now are...
(Note: top-notch luthier Dave Dearnaley of Cardiff has even said this!)

If I didn't already have a 5 string I really like - I'd be having this in a shot!
GLWTS - someone's going to be happy

Black jazz with maple neck...weren't you selling a Sire V7 fretless 5er in the same colour scheme a while back? Sexy.

[TrioRec]

Yep, I was selling the Sire V7 and although it arrived with a bit of a ropey set up it left zinging with a refined super fast set up. They're great basses for the money. The pre-amp is particularly impressive. And yep, just like the Modern Player, it looked cool!

To anyone else interested in the four knob setup on the Modern Player:

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The knobs are: a selector knob for different combinations of the coils, volume for bridge, volume for mid, and tone control. [/font][/color]
