Description

High Performance, Modern Features – The Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass HH V with Roasted Maple Fingerboard, Black Pickguard – Gunmetal Metallic

The Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass HH 5-string brings modern features and bold aesthetics to an iconic Fender platform that will satisfy today’s most discerning and daring players. At the heart of this bass is a pair of Squier SQR ceramic humbucking pickups powered by a Fender-designed active 9-volt preamp, offering intuitive controls for volume, pickup blend, traditional tone and stacked boost controls for bass and treble. The roasted maple neck was chosen for its optimal tone and stability, and a sculpted heel design allows for improved access to the upper frets.

High-performance components round out the feature list and include a modern bridge with added mass for improved body resonance, and a set of open-gear tuning machines for smooth tuning action. Eye-catching styling cues include stealthy black hardware and a sleek painted headstock with chrome logos for a premium look.
