Description
Five strings, active tone, and a price that leaves room for gas money — the Squier Deluxe Jazz Bass V Active earns its spot on the truck whether it’s your main axe or the backup that saves the gig. That extra low B opens up range for church, worship, prog, or wherever you need to go below E without retuning, and the dual single-coil Jazz Bass pickups give you that scooped, punchy Jazz voice players have chased for decades.
The active 3-band EQ (bass, mid, treble) plus blend control means you can dial in everything from a round, vintage-flavored thump to a modern, aggressive growl — and when the setlist calls for it, flip the slap switch for an instant scoop tailored to funk lines. A one-piece maple neck with an Ebonol fingerboard keeps the low end tight and articulate, while the 12″ radius and medium jumbo frets make fast runs and chordal work feel natural across all 20 frets.
Chrome hardware, a 5-saddle bridge, open-gear tuners, and a quick-release battery compartment round out the practical side — quick string changes, easy battery swaps between sets, no fuss.
- 34″ scale, basswood body, gloss polyurethane finish
