Squier Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V 5-String Black

Squier's Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V is an innovative take on the legendary Precision Bass design. This sleek five-string bass is powered by dual Squier pickups—a ceramic humbucking bridge pickup and split single-coil neck pickup—paired with a Fender-designed active 9-volt preamp. The preamp provides boosted bass and treble controls, in addition to master volume, pickup blend and tone controls, yielding a wide range of contemporary tones from deep lows to articulate highs.

Roasted Maple Neck Enhances Tone and Playability

The Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V features a roasted maple neck, chosen for its ability to produce optimal tone and stability. The neck's sculpted heel allows for comfortable access to the upper frets, enabling expressive soloing and melodic lines. The slim, fast-playing neck will feel familiar to players accustomed to modern bass designs.

Modern Bridge Provides Solid Foundation

A modern bridge with added mass helps translate string vibration into the bass' chambered mahogany body, producing a resonant tone with excellent sustain. The bridge's solid construction also provides stable intonation for accurate pitch across the fretboard.

Intuitive Controls Shape Your Sound

Shaping your tone is simple thanks to the Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V's intuitive controls. Master volume, pickup blend and tone knobs provide overall level control. Balance between the neck and bridge pickups and basic EQ adjustment. Stacked bass and treble boost controls allow you to cut or boost low and high frequencies to suit any musical situation.
