Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass V – Olympic White

Description

Need the extra low string without giving up that classic J-Bass growl? The Vintage Modified Jazz Bass V delivers both. Under the Olympic White gloss finish sits a soft maple body paired with a one-piece maple neck, dressed up with black binding and black block inlays across the 20-fret maple board — a look that nods straight back to the vintage bound-neck basses bassists have chased for decades.

Two Fender-designed single-coil Jazz Bass pickups sit in the classic SS configuration, wired to dual volume controls (one per pickup) plus a master tone — so you can blend bridge and middle pickup output on the fly to dial in anything from a punchy, midrange-forward growl to a rounder, warmer low end. The C-shaped neck carries a 34″ scale and 1.875″ nut width, wide enough to keep five strings comfortable without feeling like a plank, and the vintage-tint gloss neck finish gives it that lived-in, road-worn character right out of the box.

Hardware is straightforward and gig-ready: a 5-string vintage-style bridge with single-groove saddles, standard open-gear tuners in a 4-over/1-under array, and a bar string retainer to keep tension even across the headstock. Chrome hardware and knurled dome control knobs round it out, all set against a 3-ply black/white/black pickguard.
