Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a five-string Jazz Bass layout, this Squier pairs two noiseless single-coil pickups with a 9V preamp and a switchable active/passive circuit. The control set gives you volume, tone, pickup blend, and separate bass/treble boost adjustment from the instrument itself. A 34-inch scale, 20 frets, maple neck and maple fingerboard provide the playing platform, while the HiMass bridge and Sienna Sunburst gloss finish complete its vintage-leaning presentation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsals or stage sets that call for five strings and quick active/passive changes.
- Players shaping pickup blend, overall tone, bass boost, and treble boost directly on the bass.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players committed to a four-string bass layout; this instrument has five strings.
- Left-handed players; the listed orientation is right handed.
