What jazz bass is this?

hi everyone, I think I have an idea of the model, but I wanted your alls confirmation to be sure [im sure some of you own one yourself] The band is Opeth, easily one of my most favorite bands and Martin Mendez, [their bassist] has been a major influence to me and I enjoy all his work. But anyways I wanted to know exactly what jazz bass hes playing here in this video



My first guess is that it is a Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass? please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks Everyone!
 
Correct me if I`m wrong peoples,

I don't think that it's a deluxe. The deluxe jazz's have four control knobs on the control plate, which doesn't leave room for the jack to go through the control plate. The non-deluxe Jazz basses only have the three knobs on the control plate, which leaves room for the jack to be plugged in there.

I'm going to assume that it's just an American Standard or Highway 1.

Here is an image of him with one of the jazz basses. The bass in video looks like it has an olympic white finish, and a tortoiseshell pickguard. He normally plays a Marcus Miller jazz bass (which has the distinct pickguard).
 
yes you seem to be right! thanks! Im always seeing him with his Marcus Miller Jazz or his custom sandburg basses but this particular fender caught my eye! Other than the marcus miller Im quite ignorant of jazz bass model variations. Ive never owned one but have set a goal for my next bass to be a jazz.[although I have played them in stores and had owned a p bass a while back]
