Exploring the Player Plus Meteora Bass Models | Player Plus | Fender

Description
The Fender Player Plus Meteora active bass guitar is one of those remarkable instruments that honors Fender’s legacy while embracing the future. Fender certainly celebrates its past, but the company doesn’t limit itself to refining and redefining Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision and other seminal models. Through its Custom Shop and limited-edition Alternate Reality and Parallel Universe series, Fender constantly innovates designs, electronics, ergonomics, hardware and other player-centric features. The Player Plus Meteora bass guitar is the first time a bass has been added to the sleek Meteora series, and it’s available to all.
Supermodel Looks
The ultramodern, intensely offset design of the Player Plus Meteora bass is beautifully eccentric, but it’s also comfortably familiar and distinctively Fender. The stunning Silver Burst finish is complements by the visual appeal of a maple fingerboard. All hardware is finished in a subtle and sophisticated nickel/chrome.
Stunning Tone
Armed with muscular Fender Fireball Bass humbuckers, an onboard 18-volt active preamp with 3-band EQ, pan-pot pickup selector and mini toggle to switch between active and passive operational modes, the Player Plus Meteora bass can craft almost any tone under the sun. The Meteora’s alder body is prized for delivering a balanced and beefy tone with excellent midrange articulation, and a four-saddle Fender HighMass bridge adds spot-on intonation and a bounty of sustain.
Ultimate Playability
Everything about the Meteora bass is designed to enhance your technique. The 34"-scale, modern C neck profile is flat and inviting, and the 12"-radius fingerboard with rolled edges and satin finish is similarly comfy for a player’s hands and fingers. You can get right up to the 20th fret—thanks to the body’s rather extreme lower bout—and all of the switches and knobs are within easy reach for on-the-fly adjustments.
Modern Music Maker
The Fender Player Plus Meteora active bass is a triple-threat music machine with futuristic style, versatile tone and exceptional playability. There’s enough tradition onboard to handle genres that demand a more vintage approach, as well as loads of innovation to satisfy sonic iconoclasts and anyone seeking their own unique sound.

I got this bass as a substitute for my old jazz bass. The Meteora player plus is a bit lighter and better balanced and with the pre amp and 3 band eq , a lot more tone choices to pay with. The maple neck feels great. #Sweepstakes.

I had no intention of buying a Meteora but picked one up and couldn't believe how great the neck felt and it played unbelievable. Probably the best Fender neck design I have tried. I think the look is cool and different. People are always asking about it and what it is. Sound is definitely loud and deep with the two hummies and active pickups. It's not a subtle bass, but with the active off, it has still has decent sound. This is my first MIM after several MIA and I see no difference in build quality or performance.
