Fender Player Jazz Bass V is a 5-string version of Fender’s popular Player Series Jazz Bass, designed for modern players who need extended low-end range (low B string) while keeping the classic Jazz Bass feel.

🎸 Key features

The Fender Player Jazz Bass V typically includes:

• 5-string setup (B–E–A–D–G) for deeper low notes
• Alnico V single-coil Jazz Bass pickups (bridge + neck)
• “Slim C” neck profile – fast and comfortable for most hands
• 9.5" radius fingerboard for smooth playability
• 21 medium jumbo frets
• Standard 34" scale length
• 2-volume + master tone controls (classic Jazz Bass layout)
• Available in finishes like Sunburst, Black, Tidepool, Buttercream, etc.

🔊 Sound character

• Bright, punchy bridge tone (great for funk/slap)
• Warm neck pickup tone (good for soul, jazz, R&B)
• Blend both pickups → balanced, versatile modern bass sound
• Low B string adds deep sub frequencies for metal, gospel, fusion, and modern pop

👍 Who it’s best for

• Players who want a budget-friendly professional 5-string Fender
• Studio musicians needing versatility
• Live performers who need extended low range without switching basses
