President's Day is here and with it comes a great opportunity to grab some killer music gear with a healthy discount. Sweetwater, being one of the world's biggest online retailers, has always got some discounts and bargains for us - and if you're in the market for your first bass guitar – or maybe an addition to an existing collection – then this deal could be just the ticket. Currently, you can save $50 on the four-string Squier Contemporary Active Jazz, and the same on the Contemporary Active five-string.

Both basses offer a near identical spec list – a satin-black finished Ash body, two Squier SQR active ceramic pickups, volume, tone, and blend controls as well as a stacked EQ control. Bolted on to a C-shaped maple neck, you've got a bass guitar which, even at full price, is great value for money.
