jeremy_crockett's Music Gear Setup
The fretwork was perfect from the factory and I'm very happy with the rosewood fretboard.

Another Example of Fender Excellence
I've always fancied myself a Fender "Passive Only" kind of guy, and for quite some time now, I have been looking for a Jazz bass to replace the Vintera '70s I came to regret selling.
The Player II Active Modified with 18-volt electronics and noiseless pickups was quite the unexpected instrument for me. Sweetwater had an open-box bass listed at $260 below "Street Price", and I jumped on it.
This color is what Fender calls "Dusk", which is the deepest metallic purple that "reads" as black 99% of the time. It's subtle, and I think it's amazing.
Given the number of fiddly knobs, it definitely has a "learning curve", but that's okay. It also comes with Fender's high-mass bridge. A nice touch, I think.
18-volt active electronics. I don't know what that means exactly, other than I've doubled my battery costs. It does have a mini-toggle for active/passive modes. So, that's cool as well.
I've never had a bass with "Noisless" pickups before. There is no single-coil hum out of the box.
Everything feels top-notch; the fretwork polished and perfect. It plays very smoothly and is extremely versatile in the sounds it produces.
