The Squier Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH brings modern features and bold aesthetics to an iconic Fender platform to satisfy today's most discerning and daring players. At the heart of this bass are Squier SQR ceramic split single-coil and humbucking bridge pickups powered by a Fender-designed active 9-volt preamp, offering intuitive controls for volume, pickup blend, traditional tone and stacked boost controls for bass and treble. The roasted maple neck was chosen for its optimal tone and stability, and a sculpted heel design allows for improved access to the upper frets. High-performance components round out the feature list and include a modern bridge with added mass for improved body resonance, and a set of open gear tuning machines for smooth tuning action. Eye-catching styling cues include stealthy black hardware and a sleek painted headstock with chrome logos for a premium look.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I purchased this bass around March 2021. It really is very esthetically pleasing. The pictures don't do this paint job justice. The neck feels great. I only had to do basic intonation and string height adjustments and it was ready. I'd say the weakest link of the bass itself is the electronics. I primarily play metal and hardcore and found they put out lots of sound but the mid-range in this bass is lacking. You really have to work your amp to get a specific tone (This bass sounds killer with a pick and some distortion) But once you get it set up this bass have a very distinct growl that is very pleasing. If this is your first bass or a backup it's a solid choice. I upgraded the on board pre-amp to a Darkglass tone capsule and now this is my primary bass.
