Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass HH V Gunmetal Metallic

Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass HH V Gunmetal Metallic – The Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass V refreshes the iconic J Bass for modern players — and at a sweet value too. Available in a range of cool finishes, complete with matching headstocks, the Contemporary Active Jazz Bass features refinements made with players in mind, like its slim and fast “C”-shaped neck profile and 12-inch fretboard radius to match. Most impressive are its active electronics with a bass/treble boost control for expansive sound shaping. Complete with a pair of SQR ceramic humbucking pickups, the Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass is ready for practically any musical setting.

High-output ceramic humbucking pickups and versatile controls

The Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass delivers vibrant J Bass tones via a pair of ceramic humbucking pickups. Voiced for punchy lows and clear, articulate highs, these pickups offer ample output. And with the addition of active electronics, you’ve got the potential to shape your tone for any mix. Deviating from the traditional J Bass control set, the Contemporary Active Jazz Bass features controls for master volume, pickup blend, master tone, and bass/treble boost.

Modern bridge maximizes your tone

You’ll notice that the Contemporary Active Jazz Bass boasts impressive resonance and sustain, and a big part of that is its redesigned bridge. And not only does this bridge maximize resonance and tone, it’s also easier to restring and allows for precise intonation.

Slim “C”-shaped neck and 12-inch fretboard radius

While the feel of a bass guitar’s neck is a matter of personal preference for any musician, many players at Music Machine like the feel of the Contemporary Active Jazz Bass’s slim “C”-shaped neck profile. Topped with a 12-inch-radius fretboard, it offers easy playability and a fast, slim feel.
