Boomy tonewood combo, effortlessly playable neck
Though priced for beginners and anyone looking for a wallet-friendly backup, Squier armed this bass with a full-bodied tone that sings in all applications. Sweetwater players will tell you that a bass guitar's woods make up the core of its tone — they are responsible for the thick, booming voice and long-lasting resonance. The Affinity Series Jazz Bass V supplies you with both. It's constructed with poplar for the body and maple for the neck, offering a well-balanced sound, a snappy response, and a sharp attack. Plus, the "C"-shaped neck feels supremely comfortable in hands of all sizes and shapes, capped with silky-smooth laurel for effortless playing across all strings and frets.

Capable of subtle to significant sound changes with the turn of a knob, Jazz Bass single-coils are a fantastic option when needing to cover a wealth of different genres and playing styles.
