I buy all my gear from another outlet. But I wanted solid black with a maple fretboard that's no longer offered. This one is a 2016. You'd never know it though, it arrived with all the factory packaging (plastic, flyers, stickers, everything) totally intact and in the proper place. I don't think it ever hung on a wall. The instrument itself is A #1 from top to bottom and I'll have it setup to my liking in due course. Ordered on a Saturday, afternoon, here on Tuesday am. All in all I'm 100% satisfied. Thank you !

Bass Upheaval
Packed to the gills with our latest revolutionary innovations, the American Elite Jazz Bass V is an active 5-string bass for the modern bassist who demands cutting-edge tone technology along with timeless style and fast, smooth playing feel. Its versatile sound easily matches any playing style-picked, plucked or slap-and-pop-while its standout looks remain authentically Fender, with a fresh twist.
All-New American Elite Neck
Designed for 21st-century players, the American Elite Series sports a new compound neck profile designed for comfort and the ultimate playability. A modern "C"-shape at the nut, the rear of the neck morphs along the length of the neck to a modern "D"-shaped profile at the updated neck heel, providing plenty of ergonomic support.
All-New 4th Generation Noisless Pickups
With the all-new 4th generation Noiseless pickups, exclusive to the American Elite Series, we've achieved the sonic equivalent of cold fusion-authentic vintage-style Fender sound combined with noise-free performance. A quantum leap in pickup technology, these bleeding-edge pickups are the pinnacle of our pickup designs, offering crisp, clear cleans as well as gigantic overdriven tones that are bursting with pure rock power.
All-New American Elite Neck Heel
For improved upper register access and elegantly functional modern style, the American Elite Series' new cutaway neck heel blends into the asymmetrical neck volute for comfortably enhanced playing feel.
New 18V Preamp
The redesigned robust 18-volt preamp cranks up the power for even more signal quality, creating chest-thumping tone with more headroom and reduced noise. Working in tandem with the muscular Noiseless pickups, the new preamp adds a even more tonal versatility to your instrument.
New Truss Rod Adjustment Wheel
The new truss rod adjustment wheel makes it a snap to adjust the instrument's neck relief.
All-New American Elite Case
The redesigned Elite Molded Case features body-hugging contours to provide increased protection for your cherished instrument, nested stacking ability for easy storage and more secure transport and TSA latches for increased security.
