Squier Affinity Series™ Jazz Bass

Squier Affinity Series™ Jazz Bass®

The Jazz Bass has been the instrument of choice for some of the most technically gifted bassists in history, and the Squier Affinity Jazz Bass makes that legacy accessible to players just starting their journey. With dual single-coil pickups, a slim and fast neck, and classic J Bass styling, this is a genuine Fender-family instrument built to inspire — not just to get by.

Key Features:

• Dual Standard Single-Coil Jazz Bass Pickups — Two independently controlled single-coil pickups deliver the J Bass’s signature tonal versatility — blend them together for a full, balanced sound, favor the neck for warmth, or push the bridge pickup for a bright, cutting growl that sits perfectly in any mix
• Individual Volume Controls and Master Tone — The classic J Bass control layout gives you intuitive, real-time tonal shaping right at your fingertips
• Slim “C”-Shaped Maple Neck with Satin Finish — The narrow J Bass neck profile is one of the most comfortable in bass guitar, and the satin urethane finish keeps your hand moving freely without any sticky drag
• 9.5″ Radius Fingerboard with Medium Jumbo Frets — A slightly modern radius that makes clean fretting and comfortable playing easy across the full length of the neck
• 34″ Full Scale Length — Standard bass scale for proper string tension, tone, and feel — no compromises
• 4-Saddle Standard Bridge — Solid string anchoring for reliable intonation and tuning stability
• Synthetic Bone Nut — Smooth string movement for improved tuning stability and resonance
• Vintage-Style Open-Gear Tuning Machines — Classic Fender aesthetics with smooth, accurate tuning performance
• Chrome Hardware — Clean, classic finish throughout
