Squier Introduces Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass V Special
Squier’s Vintage Modified series has gotten a little bigger with the introduction of the Jaguar Bass V Special. The new model takes all the features of the Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass and adds a low B string.
Similar to its predecessor, the bass features a Jaguar-style body fitted with a Fender-Designed P/J pickup configuration. Controls include an active bass-boost circuit, separate volume knobs for each pickup, and a master tone control.
Its maple neck has a “modern C” profile and is topped with a 9.5? rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets.
The Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass V Special is available in Black, Crimson Red Transparent and Three-color Sunburst finishes.
The bass carries an MSRP of $399.
