Hey, this is Pete Griffin.
We're checking out the Fender Player Series Jazz Bass.
Its powerful sound is punchy and tight.
It's got a growling voice that's matched
with a fast, smooth playing feel.
And it's ready for action in the studio, the stage, or anywhere
else you want to take it.
We offer the Player Series Jazz Bass
in a few different models--
the traditional jazz bass in a four-string,
a left-handed jazz, a fretless, and a five-string.
The Player Series is the evolution
of the standard line of Fender instruments,
but now with more modern features, some really cool
new colors, and amazing quality at the entry
level to the Fender universe.
The tone you heard earlier is the bass plugged directly
into the Rumble 100 amplifier.
We'll check out the other models in the series,
and you'll hear some different tones as we do that.

OK, let's talk about the features.
These features are common to the entire Player Series Jazz Bass
line.
But we'll get to the specifics on the other models later.
They all feature an alder body with a gloss finish.
Control-wise, we've got our volume
for our middle pickup, our volume for our bridge pickup,
and, of course, our master tone knob.
Over here, we've got our bridge, with a four
or five-saddle bridge with slotted saddles
for enhanced tuning stability and a nice, punchy attack.
The neck is a modern C-shape with a satin
finish on the back, so your hands
won't stick to it when you sweat.
Pretty cool.
We've got medium jumbo frets and a 9.5-inch radius.
Lastly, we've got open gear tuning
machines that offer rock solid tuning stability.
So let's look at the pickups and hear the tone
of the traditional jazz bass.
We feature two Player Series Alnico V single-coil jazz bass
pickups, which work for just about any style of music.
This particular bass has a really cool tidepool color,
but it's also available in six other colors.
We've also got our maple fretboard here.

So now, I've switched over to the five-string--
all of the same features as the four,
except for our five-string bridge.
And our Player Series pickups are designed specifically
for the five-string bass.
We have our three-color sunburst here,
but it's also available in polar white.
Let's check it out.

Finally, we have the fretless version of the Player Series
Jazz Bass--
again, all the same features as the four-string, but this time,
we've got a nice, smooth-playing fretless neck.
And this one actually has flatwounds on it,
which sounds awesome.
This particular color is polar white,
but you can also get it in three-color sunburst.
This bass is a ton of fun.
Let's check it out.
