A Reimagined Jazz Bass to Open Access to the Fender Universe
Designed as a reliable entry point in the Fender lineage, the Squier Affinity Series Jazz Bass VI adopts the iconic visual codes of the Jazz Bass while adapting them to current needs: refined ergonomics, quick playability, and simple electronics to master. The 6-string format expands the instrument's versatility, whether you're looking for a "classic" bass with more range or a playground for modern arrangements.
Who Is This 6-String Jazz Bass VI For?
This bass is primarily aimed at beginner to intermediate bassists who want a comfortable, stable, and evolving instrument without unnecessary complexity. Its extended register suits styles where the bass needs to occupy more space: pop, rock, funk, gospel, modern metal, and R&B. It will also appeal to musicians looking to move from a 4-string to a 6-string with a reassuring feel.
The Sound
With its poplar body, the Jazz Bass VI favors overall balance and a consistent response, ideal for clean and defined tones. The two ceramic single-coil pickups in Jazz Bass format provide attack, precision, and articulation, with great clarity in the mix. The two volume controls (one per pickup) allow fine-tuning of the bridge pickup's bite and the neck pickup's warmth, while the master tone helps shift from a snappy sound to a softer register, perfect for deep lines and more "vintage" nuances.
