Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass in classic design
For the construction of the Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass, Squier relies on the proven approach. Accordingly, the body is made of ash, while the neck and fingerboard are made of maple. The lively offset design in combination with the narrow "Modern C" neck profile and the 12" fingerboard radius offer optimum conditions for a high level of playing comfort.
Ceramic Humbuckers and Active Electronics
The Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass is electrically converted by two Squier SQR Ceramic Humbuckers with stylish soapbar cabinets, whose modern hi-fi sound promises a powerful and balanced reproduction of every groove. For further tuning of the sound image, there is also an active 2-band tone control, which enables precise boosts in bass and treble, and a traditionally passive treble diaphragm.
Indestructible hardware equipment
In addition, the Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass offers high-quality hardware equipment with indestructible functionality. While the Squier 4-Saddle Standard Bridge on the body allows an optimal adjustment of intonation and string position, four Squier Open-Gear tuners on the headstock guarantee a precise and stable tuning.
