Humbucker and split single coil
Taking centre stage is the humbucker and split single coil pickups. This deadly duo gives the Active Precision Bass a growling cadence, letting you dive into any genre you please. Set it to the humbuckers for a rounded, powerful tone that's got enough weight to keep up with heavy metal. Whereas the split single coil evokes a tighter twang, excellent for lighter jazzy styles. There's a vast soundscape for you to explore.
That's not to mention the active electronics. Each note will be clear, articulated and punchy thanks to the Fender 9-V preamp. What's more is the precise control you have over your tone through various dials. Classic volume and tone knobs set the presence of your output, while a blend control selects between the two pickups and mixes their sound. The crowning feature which you'll enjoy is the bass and treble boost feature, giving you an extra shot of tone exactly when you need it.
Precision bass body, precise maple neck
Peerless Squier construction. Designed to give you easy, fast playing experience so you can push the boundaries. Play for hours thanks to the Precision Bass body which is gently contoured for maximum comfort. Crafted from poplar wood, it's bright and resonant, adding to the textural depth of your notes. And you'll have no trouble being noticed on stage as the Contemporary Active boasts a gloss polyurethane finish for that premium sheen.
Riff royalty. This maple neck and laurel fretboard is the ultimate combination for swift playing and adventurous basslines. Shaped in a "C" shape and finished with satin urethane, the neck is a dream to hold. It's incredibly slick, your fretting hand will zoom around the scales at top speed thanks to the frictionless satin finish. What's more, the sculpted neck heel provides ample room at the high frets for to let your bass sections soar.
Modern hardware
You can't go wrong. With a four-saddle Standard bridge at your disposal, you're sure to stay in tune for extended periods of time. It helps keep your strings firmly in place, whilst the graphite nut maximises resonance and string support. Open gear vintage-style tuning machines not only look good, but help you tune up in no time and keep your tone locked in place. All in all, the Squier Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH will take your playing to new heights, no matter how experienced you are.
