The Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass V MN Roasted Pine (193992763) is a 5-string professional-grade Jazz Bass from Fender’s American Professional II series, and the “Roasted Pine” version is mainly a tonewood + aesthetic variation of the same core instrument.

🔥 What makes the Roasted Pine version special

• Lighter than alder in many cases
• More “open” and slightly punchy resonance
• Unique visible wood grain (each bass looks different)
• Slightly more “vintage organic” aesthetic compared to painted finishes

🎯 How it compares in the American Pro II lineup

This is not a different electronic platform—it’s the same Pro II Jazz Bass V, just with:

• different body wood (roasted pine vs alder)
• different fingerboard choice (maple here vs rosewood options)

Everything else (pickups, hardware, neck profile) is essentially identical across the series.

👍 Who this bass is best for

• Players who want a modern professional 5-string Jazz Bass
• Those who prefer a brighter, snappier maple board tone
• Anyone wanting a lighter-weight Fender 5-string
• Studio + live players needing reliable low-B performance

⚠️ Things to keep in mind

• Roasted pine can vary a lot in grain and weight (no two pieces feel the same)
• Maple fingerboard = slightly brighter attack than rosewood
• This is a premium US-made instrument, so price is significantly higher than Player/MIJ series
