Does Anybody know what year Fender changed the tuners on a 5string jazz bass from 5 in line to 4 + 1?
Thanks

The 4+1 layout first appeared on the Roscoe Beck Bass V in 1995. Fender used the 4+1 tuners on the American Deluxe basses in late 2001/early 2002, followed by the American Series in 2006 and the American & Mexican Standards in 2008 and 2009. Only the Mexico Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V uses the 5-in-line tuners.

Hope Fender will update the Mexico Deluxe Active V with the 4+1 config and add an 18V supply for maximum headroom.

I found it ironic that they would offer the MIM Standard with the 4 + 1 but not the Deluxe. Maybe they don't want the MIM to eat into sales of the American Deluxe?

I believe the MIM Deluxe Jazz V will bear the 4+1 config in the upcoming years. This move will coincide with the switch from VNs to SCNs and the introduction of the 18V supply on most MIM active basses.
