Squier Affinity Jazz Bass, Black

Full Description

Magnificent tonewood blend

Powerful tone at all pitches. The Affinity Jazz Bass' combination of tonewoods affords it brilliant tonal balance and fantastic versatility. A solid poplar body provides you with meaty, full-bodied tones that allow you to play with amazing depth. Every bassline you play will deliver electrifying, thumping power.

The Affinity is just as capable of delivering dynamic mid-range notes and sparkling highs, too. A maple neck topped with an Indian laurel fingerboard are perfect for this. You'll be able to deliver punchy, high-pitched bass solos that will slice straight through a mix and be heard with clarity and sharpness. The Squier Jazz Bass will give you supreme sound quality anywhere along the fretboard. A wonderful all-rounder.

High quality, dynamic pickups

Completely organic sound. The Affinity Jazz Bass features a duo of Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickups, ideal for unleashing natural-sounding power into your music. Single-coil pickups are characterised by their ability to produce an extremely open sound. This is very well suited for powerful, dynamic playing in rock, metal, and jazz styles. These are the same style of pickups as used on the classic Fender Jazz Bass, and will deliver similar, recognisable bass tones with Squier's own powerful voice to deliver a superb electric bass sound.

Eye-catching style

A sleek, striking instrument that stands out. This truly is a bass guitar that has the look of a music great. Designed in the classic Fender Jazz Bass style, this Squier Affinity bass is finished in black polyurethane for an added touch of elegance. The striking dark aesthetic takes an already iconically stylish model to another level of beauty. Chrome-finished hardware adds an extra, twinkling sparkle to a bass that is slim, attractive, and extraordinarily cool.

The story of Affinity Series

Legendary and accessible. Squier, in their initial form, were originally string manufacturers for guitars, banjos, and violins. Fender were impressed by the high quality of their strings, and acquired the company in 1965. However, after a decade, Fender began to manufacture and market strings under their own brand name, and Squier became defunct.

In 1982, the Squier brand was reactivated as Squier by Fender, and began making lower-priced versions of Fender's classic, legendary guitars. The Affinity Series has versions of Fender models ranging from the Jazz Bass, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, and Stratocaster. Each of the Affinity Series instruments strives to maintain the classic, unbeatable quality of the originals for a price that's accessible for all. The perfect guitars for beginners and experts alike who aren't looking to break the bank for a fantastic instrument. Matchless quality at unbelievable prices.
