Your cart is empty.The Classic Vibe ‘70s Jazz Bass V is a nod to the 1970s evolution of the J Bass , combining the luxurious playability that made it famous with the versatility and massive tone of its dual Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable C -shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5 -radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a vintage-style bridge with slotted barrel saddles for solid string stability. This throwback Squier model also features 1970s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

ネットでの購入なので少し心配でしたが、傷もなくしっかり整備されたものが届きました音もFender傘下なだけあってこの価格ながらなかなかいい音を鳴らしてくれます。Squire,正直舐めてましたがこれは凄いですね。ギタリストながらサブとして愛用していこうと思います

Neck and fretwork are excellent ... pickups are good for the price ... these are great for just playing a small venue or noodling at home. Definitely worth the $ IMHO

I was selling my bass amps and looking for better until I hooked this thing up. The tone difference between my old active pickup bass and this is amazing. I get much more growl and dial in almost any sound using this bass. Good quality all around . Strings could be better.

This Sqiuer by Fender Classic Vibe 70s Jazz Bass is basically awesome but there are expected drawbacks for an entry-level bass guitar like this. The fit and finish is good but getting the perfect set up out of it is a little bit challenging because the frets are not aligned quite as nicely as a higher end bass which means getting that perfectly "low action" feel without buzzing is hard. Having said that, it comes with both Allen keys (truss rod and bridge) so you can play around with it and get a decent set up with a bit of time and effort.The fit and finish other than that is good. The bridge and tuners work well to keep the bass in tune and and neck feels like a classic thin J bass. Any player should find it easy to play this bass.The pickups leave a lot to be desired. It doesn't have much thump on the low end and isn't particularly bright on the high end. Compared to my girlfriend's Player Series Fender Mustang Bass, there is a lot less clarity out of the Squier but it doesn't sound 'bad'. It's got a decent low mid range and sounds 'good' when plugged into the right amp. It sounds like it's just slightly better than an entry-level bass guitar.I think the bridge pick up sounds good overall and the neck pick up is 'just alright'. There is some humming with each pick up if your tone knob is up but, interestingly, using both pick ups seems to cancel the hum which is a nice perk. I personally do like the sound of both pick ups maxed with tone all the way down. Again, not much clarity or brightness out of the pickups so leaving the tone knob down seems to produce the smoothest and most pleasant results. Bridge pickup superior to neck pickup in terms of overall sound quality.I did have a loose second volume knob but it was very easy to open up the cap and screw it back on tightly so it's not worth knocking down my rating for that.The gloss finish on the neck (both front and back) is not for everyone but I really like it. Maybe it is less ideal compared to a satin finish for a lot of moving around but it keeps the hand steady as far as grip.This is a nice back-up bass, first bass, or travel bass but I doubt any serious players will find this a good value at any price. Might be good for guitar players who just want to dabble. I know the Player series is a far jump in price but I recommend going that route for a more serious player that wants that stage-ready or recording-ready sound.This Jazz Bass from Squier is a good value overall if you temper your expectations and you're not playing live or recording. Good enough for band practice which, at this price point, is impressive.

The Bass is very beautiful and plays amazingly. You definitely get amazing value for your money. As with any "lower end" line there will be an issue or two, in this case the nut sits slightly to the low e side but and I mean slightly. It also needs a proper set up out of the box,. Bottom Line this Bass plays great, sounds great and looks great.......I bought this bass from amazon and when it arrived the the bass was damaged, { box destroyed and open } Fed ex said just send it back, and Amazon ( who are usually very good ) refused to exchange it and would only do a return. The reason for this is because it went up 200 in price immediately after I bought it. So after a call to Fender the bass I bought from Amazon is in little pieces and a replacement was sent from Fender themselves.Amazon 0 starsFedEx 0 starsFender 10 stars

Great sound, i like it. But when i got it, straight from the post office i opened it and one of the pegs was broken. Needs to be better packaged when delivered.

For starters, even though the name of the item says "Fender 6 string guitar" this is in fact a Squier CV 70s jazz bass. So far im very impressed with this bass all around. Excellent finish, decent setup from factory, fast neck, good fretwork, and sounds fantastic. This bass is a STEAL for $400cad. I like it just as much as my more expensive Ibanez SR, if not better. This bass is fantastic and I'll take it on gigs for sure.

I know that in the title it says that this is a Fender 6 string. But, obviously, from the pictures, this is a Squier bass. I was full aware of that fact when I ordered it. And to be honest, it is a great bass and actually is very cheap as it normally goes for over $500. This is a Classic Vibe 70's Squier Bass. It actually came direcly from the US and took 3 days to get here with Prime. Very pleased with it.
