The Fender Jazz Bass V with S-1 Switch in Sunburst is a modern, versatile five-string bass that pays homage to Fender’s rich legacy while offering enhanced tonal capabilities. Its classic sunburst finish, paired with a sleek alder body, delivers an iconic look synonymous with Fender’s Jazz Bass lineage. The addition of the S-1 switch expands its tonal range, making it a top choice for players seeking adaptability and performance in a wide variety of musical settings.
The alder body provides a balanced and resonant tonal foundation, offering tight lows, clear mids, and articulate highs. A bolt-on maple neck with a satin finish ensures smooth playability and comfort, while the rosewood fingerboard provides a fast and precise feel. The 34-inch scale length and five-string setup add extended low-end range, making this bass ideal for genres that demand depth and power.
Dual Fender single-coil pickups deliver the signature Jazz Bass growl, known for its punch and clarity. The S-1 switch, integrated into the volume knob, allows players to toggle between parallel and series pickup wiring, unlocking a broader tonal palette. This feature offers everything from the bright, articulate tones favoured in funk and jazz to the fuller, more aggressive sounds suited for rock and heavier styles.
High-quality hardware, including a vintage-style bridge and open-gear tuners, ensures tuning stability and consistent performance. Whether on stage or in the studio, the Fender Jazz Bass V with S-1 Switch in Sunburst combines classic aesthetics with modern features, making it a powerful tool for bassists seeking both tradition and innovation.
