Just have a question about pickups for my Squier Affinity JBass 5. I've tried searching the net everywhere for the answers and found nothing on it. Which pickups will fit my bass?? All help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for joining!
For the benefit of those who haven't seen one, a Squier Affinity Jazz Bass V, from the fender.com website. They go for about $330 on the street. (link)
A partial answer to your question: there are Duncan Basslines active and passive 5-string pickups available, along with a separate preamp system.
Squiers and full-line Fenders are mostly a straight swap, although there are some minor differences in the pickup cavity size.
A good luthier won't consider this a challenge.

Yeah they are just standard 5 string jazz bass pups. Pop in a set of actives, and that bass will jam.

Fender Jazz V basses use a longer size of pickup than some other manufacturers (whose 5-string pickups are the same size as the 4-string version.)
I'm guessing Squier would be the same length as Fender, but you should measure and check before you buy anything.
