Wide sound spectrum and first-class playing characteristics
With the Squier Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V LRL Black Squier presents a modern, five-string interpretation of the time-honoured P-Bass, which addresses itself with a broad sound spectrum and first-class playing characteristics to modern bassists of every musical style. While the traditional design with pleasantly wide roasted maple neck promises first-class playing characteristics, Squier SQR split-coil and humbucker pickups together with variable active electronics ensure first-class all-round sounds. Reliable Hardware in the form of a hardtail bridge and tuning stable Vintage-Style tuners completes the Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V LRL Black 5-String Bass by Squier.
A modernized version of the legendary P-Bass, the Squier Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V five-string bass impresses with a high level of playing comfort and particularly versatile sounds.
P-Bass with Sculpted Heel
Thanks to subtle modernizations, the classic P-Bass design of the Contemporary Active Precision Bass impresses with excellent handling. The poplar body features a rounded neck heel (sculpted heel) that guarantees unobstructed access to the high registers of the bolt-on Roasted Maple neck for virtuoso solo playing. The C-neck profile with 47.6 mm nut width also promises comfortable and fatigue-free playing characteristics.
Flexible sound through SQR pickups
To achieve a particularly wide sound spectrum, Squier equips the Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH with an SQR Ceramic humbucker at the bridge and an SQR split coil in the middle position. While the midrange pickup aggressively showcases every note with the typical low-mid growl, the bridge pickup promises a powerful tone with assertive mids. Here, even the low B-string is perfectly accentuated by the precise sound representation. For optimal tone adjustment, the Contemporary Active P-Bass not only features an active 2-band equalizer, but also a traditional passive treble cutoff.
Reliable hardware
Last but not least, reliable attachments complete Squier's Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V LRL Black. The solidly built 5-saddle standard bridge on the body guarantees exact adjustment of intonation and string action, while on the black lacquered headstock open Vintage-Style tuners guarantee precise and robust tuning of all five strings of the bass guitar.
