Fender Squier Affinity Jazz Bass – Laurel FB, Quicksilver

Description

The Squier Affinity Jazz Bass is proof you don’t need to spend big to get that unmistakable J-bass voice. Two single-coil pickups working together give you a tone that’s equally at home fingerstyle or with a pick — punchy in the mids, with enough low-end weight to anchor a mix without getting muddy. Blend the volume knobs and roll off the tone, and you’ve got everything from a growly, aggressive bite to a warm, rounded thump.

Under the hand, the alder body and maple neck keep things light and balanced for long sets, while the satin urethane finish on the neck lets your grip glide instead of stick. The “C”-shaped neck profile is comfortable whether you’re a beginner building calluses or a gigging player who just wants something that doesn’t fight you. A laurel fingerboard with a 9.5″ radius and 20 medium jumbo frets makes for smooth position shifts and easy bends, and the synthetic bone nut adds a touch of clarity and sustain you don’t always get at this price point.

Practical touches round it out: a top-load 4-saddle bridge for easy restringing, standard open-gear tuners that hold pitch reliably, and a 3-ply white pickguard that pops against the Quicksilver finish. It comes strung with Fender USA Bass 7250ML strings, ready to plug in and play.
