The Fender Standard Jazz Bass V Pau Ferro Fretboard Black convinces with the classic sound and feel of the most versatile of all electric basses and complements it with the musical expressiveness of a low H-string. The electric bass has the traditional offset design, whose construction uses Pau Ferro in addition to alder and maple, while two single coil pickups with passive electronics deliver versatile bass tones for every musical style. Robust hardware in vintage style completes the Fender Standard Jazz Bass V.
While the classic combination of alder and maple is used for the body in the comfortable offset design and the screwed neck, the fingerboard of the Fender Standard Jazz Bass V is made of Pau Ferro. This wood, also known as Brazilian ironwood, is characterised by its high hardness and unique sound characteristics, which make it the ideal fingerboard wood for a 5-string bass. With the "Modern C" profile of the screwed neck, the Fender Standard Jazz Bass also offers a high level of playing comfort.
The sound of the Fender Standard Jazz Bass V is not only fixed on the music style that gives it its name. Instead, he turns out to be a true all-rounder at the amplifier, who is at home in every genre from clear, pushing pop music to dirty rock'n'roll to the most brute heavy metal. This is due to two Fender Jazz Bass single coil pickups and passive electronics with two volumes and a tone control, which can be used to create versatile timbres with an enormous assertiveness without any problems, whereby the low B-string is also clamped with a harmonious balance.
In addition, the Fender Standard Jazz Bass V PF Black offers hardware equipment in authentic vintage style that with its indestructible reliability can withstand even the toughest stage use. Accordingly, a Fender Standard Vintage bridge with five string riders sits on the body, ensuring precise intonation and comfortable string positioning. After a classic long scale scale (34" or 864 mm), the strings on the headstock are passed over the saddle of synthetic bone to the exactly working Fender Vintage Style tuners.
