Who is this bass for?
Whether you're a gigging bassist who needs the extended range of a 5-string with versatile tone-shaping options, a session player who requires both vintage and modern sounds at your fingertips, a worship or cover band musician who plays multiple genres in one set, or a serious player ready to upgrade from entry-level gear, the Player II Modified delivers. It's perfect for bassists who want professional features and tone without the flagship price tag.

How does it sound and feel?
Imagine the classic Jazz Bass voice you know and love—that punchy midrange, singing sustain, and articulate attack—but with the power to shape your tone exactly how you want it. The Noiseless pickups give you authentic J-Bass character without any hum, even under stage lights or near amps. Engage the active preamp and suddenly you have surgical control: boost the bass for thunderous low end, cut the mids for a scooped slap tone, or add treble sparkle for cutting through a dense mix. The low B string is tight and focused, not floppy or undefined like some 5-strings. The Modern "C" neck feels sleek and fast in your hand, with a silky satin finish that lets you move effortlessly up and down the fretboard, and the rolled fingerboard edges feel broken-in from day one.

Modern features for versatile players:

• Alder body for classic Fender punch and resonance
• Maple neck with Modern "C" profile and satin urethane finish
• Maple fingerboard with 9.5" radius and smooth rolled edges
• 20 medium jumbo frets for comfortable playing and easy bending
• Two Player II Noiseless Jazz Bass single-coil pickups
• Active preamp with 3-band EQ (bass, mid, treble)
• Passive tone control for traditional J-Bass operation
• Master volume control
• 5-saddle HiMass bridge for enhanced sustain
• Lightweight tapered-shaft tuning machines
• Graph Tech TUSQ nut for improved tone and tuning stability
• Olympic Pearl finish with gloss polyester

Active/passive versatility:
One of the smartest features of the Player II Modified is the ability to run in active or passive mode. Use the active preamp and 3-band EQ when you need precise tone shaping and extra output, or switch to passive mode with the traditional tone control when you want pure, vintage Jazz Bass character. This flexibility means you're ready for any musical situation, from vintage soul to modern metal.

Why 5-string?
The extended low range of a 5-string bass opens up new musical possibilities—deeper bass lines, extended chord voicings, and the ability to play in lower positions without shifting. Whether you're covering songs that require that low D or E, playing modern worship music, or just want more tonal range at your fingertips, the fifth string gives you options without sacrificing the classic Jazz Bass feel.

Built for performance:
The HiMass bridge increases string-to-body contact for enhanced sustain and resonance, the TUSQ nut improves harmonic content and tuning stability, and the tapered-shaft tuners provide smooth, precise tuning with a higher gear ratio. Every detail is designed to keep you in tune and sounding great through demanding performances.

Perfect for:
Rock, funk, R&B, worship, jazz, metal, pop, country—any genre where you need versatile tone and extended range. The Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V is the Swiss Army knife of 5-string basses.
