A New Modern Classic from The Bass Centre

Inspired by a healthy obsession with vintage basses from the swinging 60's & informed by The Bass Centre's communication with professional players & customers throughout the world, a truly iconic design has been re-imagined to blend vintage sounds with a strikingly cool, contemporary look and enhanced, active tonal versatility.

Taking its cue from the hugely successful Bass Collection Jive Bass, the 5 string Jive Five sports a new, lightweight body contour and super-fast, satin finish neck alongside a wealth of additional modern flourishes — 21 fret ebony fingerboard, lush, figured ash body with contrasting ash-veneered pickguard, twin band active EQ and a hi-mass bridge.

With authentic tone, superb build quality, flawless finish and expert set-up, the Jive Five is an affordable, pro-grade instrument that perfectly blends classic and modern stylings.

The Holy Grail!
10 July 2017  | 

I have quite a number of Bass Collection basses, and I adore all of them, they're unbelievably good.

However, this is the bass I've spent my career looking for!!

It is perfect, and I mean perfect.

I've always found five strings I've used over time never quite felt right, but this is finally it. It plays like a four string almost, but with the low B there ready for action.

If you're gonna play a fiver, this should be your number one choice.
