To accommodate today's most demanding and adventurous players, the Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass HH brings modern features and striking aesthetics to an iconic Fender platform. A pair of Squier SQR ceramic humbucking pickups are at the heart of this bass, powered by a Fender-designed active 9-volt preamp with straightforward controls for volume, pickup blend, conventional tone, and stacked boost controls for bass and treble.
A sculpted heel design allows for easier access to the top frets, and the roasted maple neck was chosen for its optimal tone and stability. A modern bridge with increased mass for improved body resonance and a set of open-gear tuning machines for smooth tuning action round out the list of high-performance features. For a premium look, the guitar features stealthy black hardware and a sleek painted headstock with chrome insignia.
