What to Know Before Buying Your First Bass


Fender's Player Series: vintage vibe, modern edge





For their new Player Series basses, Fender went back to the drawing board with updated radii for more historically accurate body shapes, new vintage-inspired finishes, and a classic logo that harken back to the Fenders of yesteryear. But these smooth-playing instruments also look to the future with new Alnico 5 pickups that crank out legendary Fender tone by the boatload. There's never been a better time to get into a genuine Fender bass. Pick up a Fender Player Series bass, and lay down the groove with a modern classic.





Versatile pickup combination on the Fender Player Series Jaguar Bass





The duet of P and J pickups is one of the most flexible and clear-sounding combinations available. Thanks to its traditional split-coil Precision Bass pickup, you can count on the Fender Player Series Jaguar Bass to pump out dynamically intense tone. With a Jazz Bass single-coil pickup at the bridge position, this versatile bass guitar packs a powerful midrange punch. Bassists here at Sweetwater often combine the tones for a punchy sound with added clarity.





Maple neck with comfortable modern "C" shape





Leo Fender wasn't a guitar player, so he didn't really know that guitars weren't supposed to have maple necks. Eventually, the blond maple necks became a Fender trademark. The FenderPlayer Series Jaguar Bass has a nicely balanced maple neck with a modern "C" shape and a fast-playing 9.5-inch-radius maple fingerboard. One thing's for sure ? you'll have a great time putting this electric bass guitar through its paces.





Tonal versatility from individual volume controls





The Fender Player Series Jaguar Bass is incredibly versatile ? it fits in with virtually any bass rig. Individual volume and pickup controls let you fine-tune your pickup combination until it has just the right balance of power and punch, and you can dial in the amount of clarity you prefer with the master tone control.
