Fender Squier Affinity Series 5 String Active Jazz Bass V – Black
A gig-ready entryway into the world of active bass electronics, the Fender Squier Affinity Series 5 String Active Jazz Bass V – Black crosses classic Jazz Bass style with superior sonic control. At the heart of this bass’s lightweight poplar body lies two of Squier Ceramic Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups, granting you a pristine, powerful, and hum-free variation on the J Bass’s legendary grit and growl. The pickups are then paired with an active 2-band preamp with versatile bass and treble boost/cut controls, along with traditional pickup-specific volume knobs to mix between bridge bite and the warmer tone of the neck pickup. What about playability? The Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V boasts time-tested Jazz-style performance thanks to its slim “C” maple neck and slick 9.5-inch-radius maple fingerboard — the latter of which comes complete with eye-catching block inlays. You also get stylish vintage-style open-gear tuning machines and a rock-solid 4-saddle bridge. Harness the sound-sculpting power of active electronics in style with Squier’s Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V!
Noiseless pickups paired with a 2-band preamp
The Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V’s electronics section is fueled by a one-two punch of Squier’s Ceramic Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups. Clear, full, and without a hint of hiss or hum, these pickups supply all the J-style growl and grit you could ever ask for. Moreover, the Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V sports a 2-band preamp powered by a 9-volt battery to give you access to powerful bass and treble boost/cut controls. From funky fingerstyle finesse to percussive slap solos, the Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V is one seriously versatile bass.
Shaped for comfort and performance
Among the things that made the J Bass an instant hit with working bass players was its unique offset-waist body shape. Perfect whether playing standing or seated, the classic Jazz Bass contoured body will make those marathon gigs and sessions much more comfortable. With its slim “C”-profile neck, this instrument was originally designed to appeal to jazz bassists. The slender neck not only facilitates the fluid execution of fast, complex bass lines; it’s perfect for any musical style — which is why you can find bassists of all styles and backgrounds who swear by the versatile sound of the Jazz Bass.
