Full Description
View Full DescriptionSplit coil sounds
Fender designed and perfected, these single coil pickups evoke a jazzy sound that will instantly get you in the groove. Built with alnico V magnets for a higher output, they produce voicings that are packed with soul. Controllable through dedicated volume and master tone dials, you can adjust your output to your taste.
Emphasise or blend each pickup by tweaking the two volume controls. Turn up the bridge for a snappy, bright twang that'll make your bass pop in a mix. Or turn up the neck position to get a deeper, richer tone full of low frequency muscle. It's a vast soundscape that you can tweak at any time to get the exact texture you're looking for.
Mighty maple
It will bring out your best basslines. Squier have equipped this Jazz bass with a sturdy maple neck in a "C" shape. That curve will fit naturally in your palm, reducing fatigue and making those awkward frets easier to reach. Play at unrivalled speed thanks to the satin urethane finish that enables slick riffs and rapid manoeuvring.
Continuing with maple, the fretboard shares the same smooth and glassy character as the neck. Responsive and easy to action thanks to the narrow tall fret sizes, you'll find the most complex lines effortless on this seamless surface.
High-class hardware
Heritage quality. With a four-saddle vintage style bridge at your disposal, you're sure to stay in tune for extended periods of time and keep that classic look. It helps keep your strings firmly in place, whilst the bone nut maximises resonance and string support. Open gear vintage-style tuning machines not only look good, but help you tune up in no time and keep your tone locked in place.
Authentic retro style will keep all eyes on you. The body and hardware are finished in satin urethane and aged chrome to create that true nostalgic appearance, while a stunning anodised aluminium pickguard creates a sheen to capture the audience's attention. And to mark your instrument as special, there's an anniversary engraving on the neckplate. All in all, the Squier Anniversary Jazz Bass will take your playing to new heights with vintage panache, no matter how experienced you are.
