Squier Deluxe Jazz Bass V Active 3 Colour Sunburst Overview by GAK

The Deluxe Jazz Bass® Active V (five-string) is perfect for either a burgeoning five-string player seeking active tones, or as a low-cost backup for any working musician. An active three-band EQ lets you precisely shape your tone for extra girth, punch or cut, while the easily-accessible slap switch easily switches between modern or vintage tones.

Featuring a Maple neck with "C"-shaped profile and 20-fret ebonol fingerboard, Dual single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, Master volume, blend control, three-band active EQ with "stacked" bass/treble control knob, Mid-scoop "slap switch", Vintage-style five-string bridge with single-groove saddles, Quick-release battery compartment.

The slap switch activates the active electronics, boosting the bass and treble while slightly "scooping" the mids—this tone is ideal for funky slap-style basslines.

This modern instrument offers a classic touch with a vintage-style five-string bridge with single-groove saddles, offering plenty of tuning stability and sustain.

The comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile of this instrument (the shape of the neck in cross section) is sculpted to impart a vintage-style playing feel. The most prevalent neck profile shape, it’s remarkably comfortable and is ideal for all playing styles.
