Stylish Construction

This Squier Jazz Bass Gold Edition is made of solid Nyatoh. This tonewood offers warm, punchy tones and low-midrange that’s reminiscent of Mahogany. The Nyatoh body is paired with a Maple neck that’s carved to a comfortable “C” shape profile. This is a versatile and inviting neck shape that allows you to pull off a wide range of styles and techniques with ease. The Maple neck also features a smooth Indian Laurel fretboard, 20 frets and a vintage-style Jazz Bass headstock.

Classic Bass Electronics

The Squier Jazz Bass Gold Edition provides a bouncy and bright tone with plenty of bite that can handle Rock, Funk, Jazz and more. Whether it’s fingerpicking, slapping or using a plectrum, the two Fender Designed Alnico 5 Single Coils pickups provide a massive tone that won’t go unnoticed. The 2 volume and master tone controls deliver plenty of tonal versatility, from bright and barking to deep and throaty. With these tonal options at your fingertips, you can tailor the Squier Jazz Bass Gold Edition to any genre or style - whether it’s on stage, in the studio or at home. There’s a reason why legendary bassists such as Flea, Geddy Lee and Jaco Pastorius have favoured the Jazz Bass above all others.

Quality Hardware

The Squier 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass is equipped with a 4-saddle bridge with barrel saddles and sleek vintage-style tuners, ensuring exceptional tuning stability and durability during the most intense live performance.

Other visual appointments include the Gold Anodized Aluminum Pickguard, a special 40th-anniversary neckplate and an old-school headstock logo.

The Squier Jazz Bass Gold Edition draws upon the past to celebrate Squier’s 40th anniversary in style and presents a rock-solid, affordable instrument that excels on stage or in the studio.
