Fender Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V 5-String Black Metallic

Five-string active Jazz Bass for modern players

The Squier Affinity Series Active Jazz Bass V is a five-string electric bass built for musicians who want the classic Jazz Bass silhouette with an extended low-B range. Its lightweight body and slim "C"-shaped maple neck suit both beginners and experienced players during long rehearsals or gigs. Two Squier Noiseless J Bass pickups supply hum-cancelling output across diverse genres.

Active preamp and noiseless pickups expand tonal

An onboard active bass/treble boost/cut circuit works with independent volume controls for each pickup, letting you shape clean or aggressive tones without external pedals. The noiseless pickups remove single-coil hum while keeping the articulate Jazz Bass character. Vintage-style open-gear tuners provide stable tuning for the extra string.

Straightforward setup

The bass ships ready for standard adjustment; the five-string bridge and nut are cut for the wider spacing, so a routine truss-rod tweak and action check usually suffice. Heavier low-B tension can shift neck relief over the first weeks, so re-check relief after the strings settle. No specialised tools beyond basic hex keys are required.
