- Unboxing a new opal sparkle Fender Player Plus 5 string Jazz Bass guitar and first impression. The Player Plus is a replacement for the older Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass and includes active electronics, rolled fretboard edges, a high mass bridge, and a gigbag. It is also available in jade green for the five string model and various other colors for the four string model. The preamp is pretty hot and you can hear it overdriving my Fender Bassman TV vintage style amp in this video. Thanks for watching!

I like how it sounds like everything about this bass annoys him but he likes it at the same time haha
😂
I think this Bass sounds Great! I want one of these so bad, nice review, Thanks for posting.👊🏾
Thanks for watching 64jazz. The Player Plus is a cool series and the one I looked at was very nice!
Yeah, I also watched your comparison video with the Sire vs this Bass; very nice to here those two A/B'd together in one video, I really dug it, Thanks for that one as well 😄👊🏾
@@64jazz Thank you!
Fyi 5th gen on the noiseless pickups...just ordered the tequila sunrise version. Nice video. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks Chris!
Very informative video. Definitely looking into buying one of these
Thanks. Very cool basses!
Pues el que lo siente muy pesado talvez esta débil que mejor toque guitarra de esas lijeras, ese bajo player es buenísimo
I have never had any issue with “string twist” in a string through body bridge. No idea what you mean
Hy, what kind of tuners and bridge would you suggest for reduce the weigh of this beauty? thanks
I'm not sure what would retrofit without modification. Honestly I'd probably just leave it stock, it's a cool bass.
Sounds great. I have a Player series 4. Do you know if Player Plus is based 60s or 70s? TIA
Player and Player Plus use the 60s pickup spacing and alder bodies.
@@hoganshideout Thank you very much. Would you know if there is an active 5 string with 70s spacing? TIA
@@izziOnBass The Sire MM Vintage 5 has 70s spacing: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MMV7VS4N--sire-marcus-miller-v7-vintage-swamp-ash-4-string-bass-guitar-natural
The old Fender Marcus Miller 5 strings had 70s spacing if you can find one of those at a good price.
I'm sure there are others too but those come to mind.
@@hoganshideout Thank you! Yeah seems Sire is the only option. I don't know why Fender doesn't make a 70s Bass V. Thanks again!
So how did you know which knobs did what? (Out of the box, without playing and noodling first.) Fender provides a manual (online only) which covers their guitars in general. There is no specific manual to this bass. As a novice to 5 string I really had to goof with this to find what was what. Fender was no help. Is this the kind of info that's only disseminated through reps to stores or something?
[I just heard you say American Ultra and sure enough, there is a good manual for that model. They could have just copied it and put it on the Player Support page]
Thanks for the vid.
Hi Bill, thanks for watching and for the comment and feedback. A lot of active basses use the layout that the Fender Player Plus uses -- volume, pan/balance, stacked bass/treble, mid, and if there is a switch it is usually active/passive. Fender should include an overlay, though, on the knobs that shows the controls, like they include on the American Ultras, because a lot of people are not going to know what the knobs do. This is how the American Ultra comes: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/JBassAUMCB--fender-american-ultra-jazz-bass-cobra-blue-with-maple-fingerboard?mrkgadid=3319278802&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gdsa&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=studio&recording&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=39700064761333972&lid=39700064761333972&ds_s_kwgid=58700007221224519&device=c&network=g&matchtype&adpos&locationid=9012939&creative=530924157982&targetid=aud-971328289679%3Adsa-1358843191589&campaignid=13711448813&awsearchcpc=1&gclsrc=aw.ds&&rkg_id=0&campaigntype=dsa&campaign=aaDSA&adgroup=1669547166%3ADSA+-+Product+-+Bass&placement=google&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxoiQBhCRARIsAPsvo-xd5Dq6MXkRorDiSDc4NNxSppQLIvOuM53DFcZ_qfHhjZf9D6zWUasaArapEALw_wcB
Dude, you can play!
Thanks so much for saying that and thanks for checking the video out!
I really fancy one of those but im not sure about a 34" scale on a 5 string.
The B string sounds good on the Fender. Go try one through a good amp and see what you think!
Sounds like you need a custom made bass guitar.
Or are you just doing a review?
Those pups are not silent. Very weak move by fender. I know, cause I owned one.
I hear you Robert. I much rather have passive single coils.
It’s a very very heavy bass that no need for it
