Squier

collapse expand iconDescription

The Squier Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH is driven by a set of Squier SQR ceramic split single-coil and humbucking pickups, powered by a Fender-designed active 9V preamp. Enjoy easy sound customization with intuitive controls for volume, pickup blend, traditional tone and stacked boost controls for bass and treble. The roasted maple neck was chosen for its optimal tone and stability, and a sculpted heel design allows for improved access to the upper frets. High-performance components round out the feature list, including a modern bridge with added mass for improved body resonance, and a set of open-gear tuners for smooth tuning action. Eye-catching styling cues include stealthy black hardware and a sleek painted headstock with chrome logos for a premium look.
