A superb gateway into the time-honored Fender® family, the Squier® Affinity Series® Active Jazz Bass® V delivers legendary design and quintessential tone for today’s aspiring bassist. This 5-string J Bass® features a thin and lightweight body, a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck with retro block inlays, and vintage-style open-gear tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.

Voiced in-house at Fender, the two Squier Noiseless™ J Bass pickups use hum-cancelling design to produce fat, articulate tone for a wide variety of styles. An onboard active 9V preamp, powered by a 9-volt battery, provides a wide range of punchy tones with controls for volume, blend, and bass and treble boost/cut. A 5-saddle bass bridge completes a player-friendly instrument ready to help lay the foundation for any player at any stage.
