Classic vibe with modern refinements.

The Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass is an electric bass guitar that has all of the deluxe elements its Fender big brother did when first introduced in the 1960s: groovy offset waist design, narrow width, fast-action maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, 2 custom single-coil pickups with Alnico V magnets, individual volume controls that allow you to solo either pickup's sound or blend them for new sounds, and a master tone control for overall tone shaping.

The look is Fender all the way - classic Olympic white over basswood with a traditional tortoiseshell pickguard with thumb rest. Features include a HiMass bridge with brass barrel saddles, rosewood 20-fret vintage tint gloss maple neck with the modern playability of a 9.5" radius, and vintage-style frets. Tonal versatility and an up front sound - quick and punchy with enough clarity and harmonics to slap and pop.

Classic Vibe!
Back in 1982, the very first Squier by Fender guitars and basses came ringing out of Asia. Known for their excellent vintage-quality look, feel, sound and construction, those early Squier instruments and their Fender-branded counterparts are now highly sought-after collector's items revered by guitar enthusiasts as models of getting it right while aiming at value-conscious players.

The Squier Classic Vibe Series reflects that simultaneous commitment to excellence, value and vibe'. Mirroring classic Fender designs, the Classic Vibe offering is not intended to be era or vintage correct, but rather imparting the vibe' of a classic Fender design. Each with distinctive feature set combinations all adding up to one classic looking instrument. Great sound, vintage looks, unbeatable value Classic Vibe!

The other day, at a music store, I tried out the Squire Classic Vibe Jazz Bass. The playability was great and the sound was amazing. It's also so easy to adjust the knob settings to get the ideal sound.

Normally, I don't give top scores on instruments that I've only tried. Evaluating an instrument usually includes what I call the "gig test" and that is after getting some quality time it.

The Squire Classic Vibe Jazz Bass has beaten the presumed-better basses with the high-end prices.

If you have a passion for ensuring that Leo's grandkids get the best education at an Ivy League college, then forget about anything made by Squire.

If, however, you want to save a lot of money and get the maximum bang for your buck, there is no need to look beyond Squire.

I'm probably going to experience the remorse that follows when one reaches the conclusion that this product rating should be all 5.0.

Amazing bass. I bought this bass about 4 months ago. This is one of the best basses i have ever played. The pickups are amazing, giving great tone no matter which pickup you chose to use. I use both for a punchy flea-like sound, and its perfect. The body is beautiful, 100x better than the pictures show. get this bass. you wont be sorry.

Bought this bass and the Squier 60's Precision on the same day. I went to the store to pick up an American Fender because of the sale going on, and I walked out with this bass. Sweet, sweet bass. Every bit as good as the Mexican made Fenders and feels better than the Americans. I highly recommend trying these basses before writing off the Squier name. They're extremely nice. Why spend $1500 on a bass when you can get this quality for cheaper? It's a no-brainer to me.

this has a amazing feel and "vibe" just like the name suggests.the one i played was less than perfect as its volume and tone control didnt work but i imagine it to sound pretty much like a jazz bass. i wasnt wooed in love with this because i already have a jazz bass. but if there was a classic vibe p bass out in the store i would have bought it, squier is getting better but they probably wont surpass fender because fender wants to keep their profits in thier name on the headstock. i beleive this is why squeir products break easily.
