Born again

Fender's Player Series was introduced in 2018 to replace the company's long-running Standard Series, and continues to offer bassists a wide selection of high-quality and affordable instruments that are made in Mexico. Fender introduced the Jaguar guitar all the way back in 1961, but it was not until 2006 that a bass version appeared. The Player Series instrument shown here is a passive bass with the modern "P/J" combination of a Precision Bass-style split coil pickup in the neck position and a Jazz Bass-style pickup in the bridge position. The offset-waist alder body is more slimline than those of more common Fender models and, together with the long-scale maple neck with its comfortable C-shape profile and 38mm nut width (as found on Fender Jazz Basses) makes it more comfortable to hold and a guaranteed joy to play.

A true thoroughbred

If an instrument can be said to have multiple personalities, then this is definitely true of the Player Series Jaguar Bass: On the one hand, it has many of the key features of a Jazz Bass, such as the neck profile, headstock, and chrome control plate with a volume control for each pickup and a master tone control - on the other hand, however, it also has a Precision Bass pickup in the neck position. The body in turn is clearly reminiscent of both Fender's historic Jaguar guitar and the less well-known Fender Bass VI which was based on the same shape. The distinctive body design features a deep cutaway with a slender "horn" at the top and an extremely shallow cutaway at the bottom, and the high-gloss metallic "Tidepool" finish gives this bass a modern visual touch while still retaining a classic vintage flair, perfect for the wealth of features from different renowned models that it combines.

Small, light, comfortable

Many players will find Fender's more commonly found basses large and unwieldy, and the Player Series Jaguar Bass represents a great alternative to these basses thanks to its smaller body size while also delivering the same great looks and high quality. Its combination of Precision and Jazz-style "New Player AlNiCo V" pickups makes this bass extremely versatile and thus suitable for virtually any style of music, while its dimensions and slim neck profile make it as sleek and dexterous as its namesake. The Fender Player Series Jaguar Bass is not only an instrument for those who make music as a hobby, however: It will capably handle professional-level use as well.

About Fender

Fender is without doubt one of the most legendary guitar and amplifier manufacturers of all time. The company was founded in 1946 by its namesake Leo Fender († 1991), whose innovative ideas brought a breath of fresh air into the musical world. His Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass are not only classics – they also continue to shape the styles of musicians in countless genres to this day. Timeless Fender amplifier models such as the Bassman, Twin, Deluxe, and Princeton also enjoy a stellar reputation. Besides maintaining its classic product portfolio, however, the company is also constantly developing new products that make Fender a driving force in today’s music industry.

Fender: The greatest hits

As you would expect from an instrument with a P/J pickup configuration, the Player Series Jaguar Bass can cover a lot of musical ground, and it delivers both comfortable handling and distinctive looks as well as giving players the best of both worlds in terms of sound. The Jaguar Bass will obviously find favour among traditionalists, but players who are getting bored with the classic designs and looking for something refreshing and different should also take a closer look. And leaving questions of taste aside, this passive bass from Fender's Player Series is a robust, versatile, and reliable companion for any musician.

Awesome Bass
Balorr 01.04.2022
I've only had this bass a couple of weeks, but I have to say that I love it! It feels , looks and sound fantastic.

The build quality is excellent. There are no blemishes, rough edges or other flaws. The frets are well finished. The hardware feels solid. The colour is probably a bit more blue than it appears in the photos, but it's gorgeous.

The neck has a very modern, fast feel. There are no dead spots, fret buzz or anything else to detract from the sound. The action is amazingly low. There's a little bit of neck dive (as one would expect from a Jaguar), but nothing too serious and it's easily overcome with a decent strap.

My only slight niggle is that the sound is a little bright for my taste. With that said, it is a new guitar with new strings, so it may mellow over time. Equally, it might inspire me to shift my playing style to suit the instrument; it's a good enough bass to merit that!

A friend of mine (formidable guitarist with 40+ years of experience and professional playing) popped over to see it. He looked like an excited six year old child who had been let lose in a sweet shop! He was completely blown away.

Overall I love this bass and really can't praise it highly enough. It looks amazing and sounds great.

Ova meksička mačketina od johe i javora dobro prede. Prsti imaju mnogo mjesta te je vrat ugodan za sviranje. Lijepo izgleda, boja kao da ima različit odsjaj pa varira između zelene i plave ovisno o svjetlu. P+J konfiguracija je optimalan izbor. Instrument nije pretežak za nositi pa se rame neće umoriti. Solidne je izrade, no gitara je skuplja 2000 kn nego što bi trebala biti te stiže umotana u tanku foliju bez mjehurića pa su moguća mala oštećenja. Ako želite bas za cijeli život, udomite ovu macu i nećete zažaliti!

Oh boy !

Esthétiquement, c'est top, la couleur est magnifique, les finitions plus que bonnes. Je suis totalement in love.

Côté son, c'est simple et très efficace, 2 volumes, 1 tonalité. Micro précision et micro jazz, le meilleur des deux dans un seul modèle.

Niveau jouabilité, le manche même vernis glisse dans la main, sa forme en modern C est un vrai plaisir à jouer. La finitions des frettes est au petit oignons. Elle est plutôt léger comparé aux autres basses que j'ai eu donc c'est toujours un plus pour les lives.

Joué à la maison, en répète, en enregistrement, en live. Je m'en lasse pas, elle est au top. Ca fait plus d'un an que je l'ai et c'est toujours une bonne expérience.

Ich benutze den Bass derzeit nur im Proberaum im Bereich Jazz und Funk, aber er ist auch für härtere Angelegenheit uneingeschränkt konzerttauglich.

Der Jaguar ist eine Augenweide, das Sparkle-Finish sieht wirklich super aus und die ungewöhnliche Form hebt sich angenehm ab, aber ist trotzdem noch klassisch. Anders als in der Produktbeschreibung angegeben und anscheinend auch anders als in früheren Versionen ist das Finish am Griffbrett nicht matt, sondern hochglänzend. Muss man mögen.

Soundmäßig ist er wirklich spitze, er kann einen klaren Precision-Sound herstellen, ist durch das zusätzliche J-Pickup aber noch deutlich vielseitiger, vor allem wenn es ein bisschen knackiger in den höheren Mitten werden soll. Nur wenn beide Pickups voll aufgedreht sind, löschen sie sich leicht gegenseitig aus und verlieren etwas an Wums. Insgesamt macht der Bass aber ordentlich Druck und ist sehr wandlungsfähig.

Die Bespielbarkeit ist sehr gut, auch durch den schlanken Hals. Die Saitenlage ist von Werk her ok, aber nicht makellos. Da muss man noch einmal ran, nur nicht mit dem von Fender mitgelieferten (!) Inbus, der ist nämlich zu klein (lol) und man muss irgendwo her einen 1,5-mm-Inbusschlüssel organisieren. Wie das passieren kann, ist mir schleierhaft.

Der einzige wirkliche Minuspunkt sind die unsorgfältig eingesetzten, teilweise scharfkantigen Bundstäbchen. Das muss wirklich nicht sein. Nichts Gravierendes, aber da sollte man noch einmal rüberschleifen.

Nach ein, zwei Stunden investierter Arbeit ist er ganz schnell mein neuer Lieblingsbass geworden.
