TrioRec Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 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.

Austin1303 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Very tempting! Do you have any higher resolution photos so I can see the overall condition more clearly? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Don't think I've seen a 5 string version of one of these Always wondered how these sounded, with those pickups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The GroovyPlucker Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 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 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 How much does the bass weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited August 16, 2017 by Marc S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Black jazz with maple neck...weren't you selling a Sire V7 fretless 5er in the same colour scheme a while back? Sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrioRec Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 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] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The selector gives you:[/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][font=robotoslab, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1.
