The American Standard Jazz V is an excellent choice for players in need of the extra bass growl of a five-string with the familiar tone and feel of a Fender. Updated for 2012, this five-string carries all the classic tone of a '60s J Bass with the latest in Fender performance and construction. With a super comfortable neck, excellent string stability, and the punchy tone of two American Standard J Bass single-coils, the American Standard Jazz V is a modern classic five-string in the making.

Extreme Playability

The American Standard Jazz V has been specifically catered to the needs of modern players with a comfortable body and ultra-playable neck. Since its introduction in 1960, the Jass Bass design has offered bassists outstanding balance and comfort which has been seamlessly expanded with the addition of a fifth string. The neck is in a smooth C-shaped neck profile with a comfortable rosewood fingerboard allowing easy access all up and down the instrument. As seasoned five-strings players know, what good is a fifth string without neck that lets you reach it?

High-end Fender Components

This five-string wields two powerful American Standard single-coil pickups which deliver copious amounts of classic Jazz Bass clarity and punch. The upgraded high mass vintage bridge optimizes resonance through the bass as does the thinner undercoat finish. The Jazz V also includes posiflex graphite neck support rods, sturdy hipshot vintage tuning keys with tapered shafts, and a molded hardshell case.

Features:

- Dual American Standard Jazz Bass single-coil pickups
- Ultra-comfortable neck in modern C-shape with smooth rosewood fingerboard
- Posiflex graphite neck support rods
- Updated high mass vintage bridge for enhanced sustain
- Fender/Hipshot Vintage tuning keys with tapered shafts
- Included hardshell case

For five-string veterans and first-timers alike, the American Standard Jazz V makes an outstanding addition to any bass arsenal. Bold bass sounds and seamless playability combine making this one of Fender's finest five-sting efforts to date. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fender products.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
