Fender Limited Player Plus x Blu DeTiger Jazz Bass Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Sky Burst Sparkle
A signature model for the bass guitar’s newest star, the Fender Limited Player Plus x Blu DeTiger Jazz Bass is an exciting variant on fine Player Plus design with key modifications suiting the bassist’s taste. As a celebration of the evolving world of bass guitar, this limited, signature edition model from Fender taps into the pulse of modern pop’s most funky.
Blu DeTiger broke onto the scene in 2019 with her debut single “In My Head”, showcasing her talents as a bassist and vocalist. The ensuing years brought viral fame as videos of her virtuosic playing circulated the internet along with appearances as touring bassist for singer Caroline Polachek and indie outfit Bleachers. DeTiger has crossed paths with her fair share of modern pop’s finest, sharing the stage with such names as Sabrina Carpenter and Chromeo and co-writing the song “Hey You” with singer Chappell Roan. Following DeTiger’s first studio release, All I Ever Want Is Everything, the young bassist is primed for her next move, as well as to act as an ambassador for new bassists everywhere through her new Fender signature model.
This limited signature Player Plus bass is shaped in a classic Jazz Bass double-cutaway form, utilizing chambered ash as its base. Notably lightweight and resonant, this ash works as an excellent jumping-off point for the rest of the musical experience. A satin-finished maple neck protrudes from this Jazz body, imparting a silky texture across its back and a solid feel in hand with its 1966 “C” profile. This comfortable satin neck is combined with a slab rosewood fingerboard measuring with a 9.5″ radius and twenty Vintage Tall frets for articulate fretting and movement across its entire scale. A gloss polyester finish wraps this guitar’s body and headstock in a dazzling Sky Burst Sparkle color that matches DeTiger’s frequently bright aesthetics.
Sonically, this signature Player Plus model bounces along with a striking set of electronics. A Player Plus Noiseless Jazz Bass single-coil pickup occupies the middle position and plays with excellent single-coil spunk. This single-coil is matched with a Custom Blu DeTiger Fireball Bass Humbucker pickup that growls and thumps for delivering on DeTiger’s slapping style. The electronics on this Player Plus are designed with an 18V Player Plus preamp with a three-band EQ and an active/passive mini toggle. A pan pot acts as this guitar’s pickup selector switch and allows for smoother blending between single-coil and humbucker tonality. Further additions to compound on this tonality and playability include Standard Open-Gear tuning machines, a 4-Saddle Vintage Style bridge with single-groove steel “Barrel” saddles and a synthetic bone nut measuring 1.5″. Altogether, this Jazz Bass is effortlessly playable and excitingly musical.
Inspiring excitement in modern bass, Blu DeTiger plays in a style all her own for a new kind of bass mode. With this signature model, Fender matches DeTiger’s unique bass flavor to bloom in new and exciting ways.
