Product Description

The Squier Contemporary series consists of a range of ultra-modern guitars and basses. This stellar range features classic Fender designs refined with state-of-the-art appointments. Bringing modern features and bold aesthetics to iconic Fender platforms, the Contemporary series is sure to satisfy today’s most discerning and daring players.

The Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass HH is a bold, modern take on the classic Jazz Bass design. A Poplar body provides a balanced platform on which to build your tone and the sculpted heel design allows for improved access to the upper frets. The roasted Maple neck delivers a bright tone with an enhanced presence, while the 12" radius roasted Maple fingerboard is sleek and smooth under the fingers. At the heart of the Active Jazz Bass HH is a pair of ferocious Squier SQR™ active ceramic humbuckers that produce a massive, high-output signal. An active 9-volt preamp with controls for volume, blend, tone and bass/treble boost gives you plenty of tone tweaking options for a wide range of playing styles.

A 4-saddle standard bridge ensures accurate intonation whilst maximising the transference of string vibrations. At the other end, a set of vintage-style tuners deliver a smooth tuning action and easy restringing. Stealthy black hardware and a sleek painted headstock with chrome logos give the Active Jazzmaster a premium look that is sure to turn heads!

1st one of these had terrible distortion when plugged into my amp. Andertons replaced it promptly, but the second one had a busted control knob! I sent this one back and swapped it for a Sire V3 and an Orange Crush bass amp, both of which are superb!
