Well woth active, not the pick ups are meant but that there is an actual preamp built into the bass. With guitars, active refers to pickups, which , emgs (active pick ups) are used mostly for metal. There are also basses with active pick ups
I can’t figure out why fender thinks they need active circuits, they do a terrible job with them and they add NOTHING to the tone. They sound better passive. Every time.
Active basses need a good amp to shine. Fender amps aren't that way. And they should leave making active circuits to other brands who know how to make em right
It looks like they've done what other cheaper brands do: have the usual passive pickups and controls followed by a switchable active EQ. This is not good if you're after maximum signal integrity. There's a reason why EMG and others have the active circuit in the pickup itself: so that the signal is buffered straight away and thus less susceptible to noise, degradation or colouration due to impedance mismatches. It's not the "traditional" sound, sure, but EQ is still a thing.
@@stereoroid I agree with you. Active circuits should be constructed differently to get a different tone than passive circuits. When you make them switchable you’re not really getting the best of both worlds you’re getting the lesser of both.
Not awkward at all. Considering we're listening through compressed youtube audio, I take it with a grain of salt. Plus, who cares? That sound will be useful to someone, somewhere. There's absolutely nothing awkward about that. 🤔
Wow, Fender. For the first time ever on UA-cam, I *purposely* watched a 7 minute long ad, this Player Plus bass ad, from beginning to end. It came on before a vid I was about to watch and instead of clicking the "Skip" button like I do literally every time, I watched the ad. Good job! ❤️👍🎸
If you want left handed basses, I recommend Rickenbacker. Although left handed Rickenbacker basses are rare and expensive, they are the most comfortable and best sounding ones I've ever played.
@@ampthebassplayer I have 9 basses 2 are active(EB musicman sterling, stingray) and they see the least playing. Might pickup the green p-bass and leave it in passive mode.
If you use them in passive mode, is there a passive tone control? If you wanted to use the P-bass in a Mowtown-ish setting. Just the Split coil and tone rolled of?
No, there isn't - but I'm in the process of modifying mine to have one. You can use the parts and the diagram of the Deluxe Active P-bass from about 10 years ago to add a concentric control where the mid active control is.
My next bass will be the Jazz Bass 5 strings Player Plus🤩🎶 its sound is unique both passive and active, it's great, and I love the color it has, the Opal Spark, and I also like the mapple as a fingerboard, that bass, yes or yes, I will buy it🤩😎✌️
I've been playing a standard Fender jazz bass for 18 years, and I love it, but now I'm working with some guys who play reggaeton, I need a LEFT HANDED FENDER V, it can be a Squier... I don't want to change my sound or the brand of my instrument.
I tried a Fender Player Plus J bass and did not notice that it had a rolled fingerboard Is that feature only on the Plus guitars? If it is not rolled like the guitars it's like a big middle finger to bassist.
They call it “entry level” so that seasoned players will spend more. I’d play one of these, drop a set of either Fralin or Radioshop pickups into it if the stock pups weren’t right for me, replace the pots, and have a great live and studio player. BTW, I think that PG plays Lakland….I may be wrong…
Was really wishing when I heard about this that the five string was going to follow Charvel and Jackson (both div. of Fender?) and put out a 35" scale.
Hello! I bought this bass with only a pao ferro fingerboard. The 5th string doesn't sound at all. It is very much inferior in sound to the inexpensive Cort GB 35 JJ, which has the 5th string and generally low frequencies. I'm very disappointed because I thought I would get a bass that sounded next to the 2008 American Deluxe Jazz Bass. I was upset that it sounded even worse than inexpensive instruments. What should we do now? Maybe someone could make the 5th string sound?
@@0megalul309 They suck. I’ve played them, and that’s why all 3 of my Fender guitars are from the American Vintage line. Nothing beats my 1959 AVRI.. By the time I was old enough to start saving real money and had discovered that line they were discontinued and I had to get them on the secondhand market, which wasn’t bad at the time considering the ‘59 I bought for $1,700 is going for $2,000-$2,400 all day long in WORSE condition than mine lol
Guitars have gone up since consumers have been willing to dish out more and more for entertainment (ie video games and cell phones) Remember back in the 2000s when you could get an entry level fender for like 3-500 bucks and that 500 dollar model was honestly comparable to the USA American made versions. Nowadays cheap guitars are almost more palatable than expensive models because the differences just aren't that major to justify a 1000+ pricetag
So, essentially its an upgrade from the Mexican Deluxe series. Ne colours are amazing and the tone is LIT. The only downside its that the access heel-joint is noe gone, making the upper register a bit more uncomfprtable. Still a cool bass
I remember when I used to have the fender app. To this day I’m still pissed off that all of the songs, the teacher would say “this isn’t how the song is played but it’s similar” why tf would I be paying for the app than if the songs they “teach” aren’t even close to how tue actual song is
Dear God🙏♥️💕 in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.

![Introducing Fender's Player Plus Active Precision Bass [Cory is jazzed.]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SkCr1-KE2f0/mqdefault.jpg)
I’m a guitar player who plays bass, I prefer the active sound on a bass, but passive on a guitar
Well woth active, not the pick ups are meant but that there is an actual preamp built into the bass.

That Precision feature set is great. Really great playing by Pete in here too BTW.
That green is sweeeeeet
Fender...you had me at switchable passive/active mode. You complete me.
Pete Griffin back it at again
Well those are cool! Love the noiseless pickups!
I just got the Player Plus Jazz yesterday in aged candy apple red and it's gorgeous.
Thats the one i want :) (i think)
That awkward moment when it sounds better without the active circuit ^^

No more government subsidies for active basses!
“I understood that reference”
"Cut from a tree".
No lefty as usual!!!
I can’t believe I show so much loyalty to Fender still!
why don't you become right handed? It will probably take you 1 year and you'll be good.
@@silentyouber2816 sorry. I locked in lefty many many decades ago.

@@silentyouber2816 no
That's what a bass should sound like.
Love the green, hate active pickups.
The battery in my main bass died a while ago and it hasn't bothered me at all.
@@ampthebassplayer I have 9 basses 2 are active(EB musicman sterling, stingray) and they see the least playing. Might pickup the green p-bass and leave it in passive mode.
Ok op plumb mmm no by ty till IBM lulu
. imo.blk mlllmimic mimicut 😍😞🐧🐧😞😊😊🐧🤷😍🐧😊🎄😊😊😞🐧🐧
@@thecappy you can turn off the active pickups and make them passive
So don't use the active side lol... If you play metal or modern hi-fi music, you need active as well.
If you use them in passive mode, is there a passive tone control? If you wanted to use the P-bass in a Mowtown-ish setting. Just the Split coil and tone rolled of?
This is what I need to know as well.

Got the green p bass on preorder, can’t wait!
Yea looks nice, and love the bright sound of a Maple neck.......and im Irish so, the green is great
So in the Player plus Jazz, can you also play when no batteries are in?
Great basses! Excellent video!

Just found and bought an Olympic white model from a pawn shop in middle of nowhere TN and it’s probably my best bass now. 🥲

YOOOOO ITS THE REAL PETER GRIFFIN
Exact guitar I've been saying my next player would be in a jazz configuration , plus active electronics!
Please add the Tequila Sunrise paint to a P-bass series. It's so sexy.
Is it true that on the Precision's passive mode you can't change the tone?
I would like to know if this is true! I just watched a review and i found it weird that they never talked about changing the tone 🤔
No, the rear stack nob is your tone just like a normal p.
They call it “entry level” so that seasoned players will spend more. I’d play one of these, drop a set of either Fralin or Radioshop pickups into it if the stock pups weren’t right for me, replace the pots, and have a great live and studio player.
BTW, I think that PG plays Lakland….I may be wrong…
Nice audio compressed! The player......????
That’s a very nice name you have there, Pete.
This one comes to replace The deluxe series.
Where are the lefty options???
they dont make them in this series, unfortunately.
Wish your people would pick the strings with your hand anchored on the neck pickup when doing the 4 string jass
Was really wishing when I heard about this that the five string was going to follow Charvel and Jackson (both div. of Fender?) and put out a 35" scale.
I’m go get my first bass I like the jazz bass 🔥
the G.A.S. is high on these

Bring back the American Vintage line, that’s what we really want
Best guitar i've ever had!
American original is more "woke" according to fender and has bigger profit margins too.

Love the color, but I’ll take a Mexican fender p bass, more like the old school fenders in my opinion.
$1000 isn’t “entry level’
At minimum, $1000 is mid-level if not high end

Unfortunately there's no 5 strings version in white colour
So a Sire for 3x price?
Not anymore some V7s are over $1000 now , personally I like my Sire basses as much or better then my Fenders.
I dont like the highmass bridge
Nice!
Thanks, Peter Griffin!!! 😂😂😂
Lmao
Still no passive tone control. Weird.

“entry level” ok 💀
If I buzzed strings like this on my guitar, i'd be considered a beginner. i guess you couldn't make it as a guitar playerr..
I agree thousand not entry-level, fender would sustain customer loyalty if they stay charging price levels likes this .sell this bass for $800.00
Affordable???????? 😂
