Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V - Black Metallic, Maple Fingerboard

Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V - Black Metallic

The Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V is your ticket into the legendary world of Fender. This 5-string J Bass is a tonal powerhouse, designed for the modern bassist who needs versatility and punch. The lightweight poplar body and slim "C"-shaped maple neck with a classic maple fingerboard make this bass a joy to play for hours on end. The sleek look, complete with retro block inlays, gives a nod to the timeless aesthetic of the J Bass, a model favored by bass icons like Jaco Pastorius, Geddy Lee, and Flea.

What really sets this bass apart is its active electronics. It's loaded with two Squier Ceramic Noiseless Jazz single-coil pickups, but the real magic comes from the active 9V preamp with 2-band EQ. This setup gives you a massive range of tones, from deep, thumpy lows to bright, cutting highs, all with that classic J Bass growl—minus the hum. Whether you're laying down a solid foundation for a rock band or grooving in a funk ensemble, this bass has the sonic flexibility to handle it all. It’s a perfect entry point for any aspiring bassist looking for that authentic Fender feel and sound.
