Squier Contemporary Series Gets Four New Bass Models
Fender has expanded on the Squier Contemporary Series with two guitars as well as four new bass models. Each of the models is loaded with modern-voiced Squier SQR pickups, with the Jazz Bass models featuring a pair of humbuckers and the Precision models having a P-pickup with a humbucker in the bridge position.
Both the P and J Basses have four and five-string versions. Aside from the new pickups, common features include an active 9-volt preamp with Bass and Treble boosts, roasted maple necks, sculpted neck heels, and painted headstocks with chrome logos.
