What will the Affinity Precision Jazz bass sound like?

The split coil pick up at the neck of the bass will give you a solid, loud output with a punchy and bouncy bottom end when used with a plectrum. Using your fingers with this pick up dialed in will give a mellow sound and slightly tame the tone.

On the bridge of the bass is a single coil pick up, this alone will provide a very smooth warm mid presence. When dialled in further it can be brighter and produce a twang with more life to it.

With both of the pickups on and dialed in at the same time you will have a huge wall of tone. The bottom end is loud and present with a shining high end. The tone is uniquely balanced and fills a full harmonic range. Find out how pickups affect your tone by reading our Bass Guitar Pickups guide.
