The original Fender Bass V was a model of electric bass guitar model produced by Fender between 1965 and 1971. It was the world's first five-string bass guitar, a popular concept today.
The Bass V is unusual in its dimensions: although it is three inches longer than a Precision Bass, the Bass V has only 15 frets. Although most modern five-string basses feature a low B string, the Bass V featured a high C string, to allow reading bass players to reach high notes on the instrument more easily. The top note on the instrument is E-flat, the same as a standard 20-fret 4 string Jazz or Precision Bass.
The Bass V originally came with chrome bridge and pickup covers.
Players did not accept the Fender Bass V, partly due to its size and shape.[1] Players also had problems with the small amount of space between strings. Only about 200 Fender Bass V models were produced, before being discontinued in 1971.[1] Surplus bodies were then used in the construction of the Fender Swinger.
