With rolled fingerboard edges and a 9.5-inch radius rosewood fingerboard, the playing surface feels broken-in and ready for long sessions.

Featuring a three-band EQ with dedicated bass, midrange, and treble adjustments, this model allows players to sculpt their sound with precision. The Player II Noiseless pickups retain the clarity and growl that the Jazz Bass is known for, while eliminating unwanted hum for a clean signal in any environment. The addition of an active/passive mini toggle provides seamless switching between the warmth of vintage passive tones and the modern clarity of active circuitry, making this bass an incredibly versatile tool for tonal exploration.
