Lightweight Ash Body

Crafted with an ash body, the Squier Contemporary Jazz Bass is incredibly lightweight, and offers a comfortable playing experience. Ash as a body tonewood, delivers an overall bright tone, with good sustain and excellent balance. The ash yields a strong upper mid-range, and a beefy low-end, providing a superb tone that accommodates a range of styles.

Maple Neck & Fingerboard

For enhanced brightness, this Active Jazz Bass Guitar features both a maple neck and fingerboard too. The maple gives the bass' tone added tightness, and cut, to brighten up the overall sound. A maple neck and fingerboard add sizzle to the highs, firmness to the lows and provide snappy attack within the mid-range.
