Squier Deluxe Jazz Bass Active V 5-String 2012
Squier Deluxe JBV, black, made in Indonesia 2012. These are discontinued these days, which is a shame... it's a cool bass. You get a modern take on the Jazz Bass genre: fast playing D style neck, wide-ish string spacing, ebonol board, active preamp a mean black finish with a matching headstock. The tone is modern and punchy, with heaps of attack and natural low end. There's a little slap-switch and a three band EQ on deck, so you can dial the tone according to your particular personality disorder. Here's to the big, black, beastly Jazz Bass: now with beastly skull knobs!
