A rarer Deluxe Jazz Bass V with more range and more control on hand

This used Fender American 1996 50th Anniversary Deluxe Jazz Bass V in Crimson Burst suits players who want the familiar balance of a Jazz Bass, but with a more modern feel and a broader working range than the standard formula. The 5-string layout gives you the extra low-end reach many players want for heavier material, modern arrangements, or simply covering more ground without shifting position as much.

The John Suhr-designed stacked humbucking J-style pickups and active 18V preamp are a big part of what makes this bass interesting. You get the shape and presence of a Jazz Bass, but with more control over the mids, bass, and treble, plus a quieter pickup design that makes sense on louder stages and in recording situations. That gives it a lot of flexibility, from cleaner fingerstyle sounds through to more pushed, modern tones.

The 22-fret neck also sets it apart, especially on a Jazz Bass, giving you a little more room up top than usual. Add the Crimson Burst finish and original hard case, and this is a strong option for players who want a USA-made Deluxe Fender with a bit more rarity and a bit more range than the standard Jazz Bass recipe.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this used Deluxe Jazz Bass V suits players who want classic Fender feel, more tonal control, and a 5-string Jazz Bass that stands a little apart from the usual crowd.
