Classic J Bass Style — Elevated with Active Electronics A gig-ready entryway into the world of active bass electronics, the Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V 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.
