Fender 0140482515 Player II Jazz Bass Guitar

The Fender Player II Jazz Bass is a four-string electric bass designed for players who want the familiar Jazz Bass platform with contemporary playing appointments. This Polar White version pairs an alder body with a maple neck and maple fingerboard. It is a right-handed, solid-body instrument with a full 34-inch scale length.

Its dual Player Series Alnico 5 single-coil Jazz Bass pickups provide separate volume control for each pickup plus a master tone control. That layout lets players blend the middle and bridge pickups to shape their balance of clarity, midrange presence, and low-end weight. There is no pickup selector switch, keeping the control layout direct and familiar.

The maple neck uses Fender's Modern "C" profile and a satin urethane finish on its back. Its 9.5-inch-radius maple fingerboard has rolled edges, black dot position markers, and 20 medium-jumbo frets. Together, these features provide a straightforward fretting surface for fingerstyle, pick playing, and slap-oriented techniques.

A standard 4-saddle bridge with single-groove steel barrel saddles supports individual string adjustment. The bridge uses a five-screw vintage-style mounting pattern, while standard open-gear tuning machines handle tuning duties. Fender fits the bass with USA 7250M nickel-plated steel strings in .045-.105 gauges.

This Player II Jazz Bass is suited to rehearsal, recording, and stage rigs where a passive electric bass is needed. Pair it with a bass amplifier, an appropriate instrument cable, and a case or gig bag selected separately for transport. Fender recommends its Classic Series Precision/Jazz Bass wood hardshell case or FB1225 Electric Bass Gig Bag, neither of which is included.

Key Features

Design & Installation

The bass combines an alder solid body with gloss polyester finish, a maple neck, and a maple fingerboard. Nickel/chrome hardware, black pickup covers, black control knobs, and a three-ply black/white/black pickguard complement the Polar White finish. The neck attaches with a four-bolt standard construction and an "F" logo neck plate.

Set up the instrument with its supplied .070-inch hex saddle-height wrench and 3/16-inch hex truss-rod wrench when adjustment is required. Use the individual pickup volume controls and master tone control to tailor the passive JJ pickup blend before the bass signal reaches an external bass amp or recording input. For transport, use a compatible optional case or gig bag; Fender lists the Classic Series Precision/Jazz Bass wood hardshell case and FB1225 Electric Bass Gig Bag as recommended options.
