I think they call most of their active bass models, Deluxe. I'd say American Deluxe 5 string. I know this guy plays some wild basses. Back when he played in Creed he had a Greyburst Jazz with a mirrored guard. Yeah I just admitted I went to a Creed show!!!

Thats Brian Marshall from Alter Bridge


Whats the model? Looks like a 5 string j-bass. It could be a something else.

 

 

Good question. Generally with the American models the G string's machine head is on the other side of the headstock, in't it? I guess it could be a standard with an upgraded pickguard.... but it looks like there's an extra knob on it.... I can't imagine he'd be playing a standard... I dunno

IIRC all their 5'vers are inline .

Looks like
this.

 

Yes...apart from the headstock. :D

 

The first Jazz Bass 5ers had a five-in-a-row tuner arrangement. Fender switched to a 4 + 1 headstock design after customers complained about neck-dive.

 

I'd guess it's an MIA Jazz Bass 5 circa early/mid '90s. IIRC Fender used the spaghetti logo on that particular model. The maple board is a bit unusual, but I like it. :D

Yeah that was the other thing, I'm havin' a hard time finding something similar with a maple neck. I'm guessing it's a custom job.

oh yeah , looks like a Roscoe Beck inspired neck . oh well forget it
:p
:lol:

 

At any rate I got rid of mine. It was too heavy, played like pig, and the neck was way too wide.

 

 

(That sounds funny now that I play an upright. Ha ha.)

How would changing the arrangement of tuners affect neck dive? You still have 5 tuners out there.
