Squier Jazz Bass 70S Classic Vibe Mn 3-Color Sunburst

A Jazz Bass with a 1970s Flavor in the Classic Vibe Line

The Classic Vibe '70s Jazz Bass embraces the design elements that defined the Jazz Bass evolution during the seventies: a bold aesthetic, fast feel, and a very "mix-ready" tonal signature. Within the Squier universe, the Classic Vibe series is positioned as a line with refined vintage style, designed to recapture the feel and character of historic instruments while maintaining modern playing comfort.

For Which Bassist and Styles?

This 4-string electric bass is suitable for both demanding beginners and intermediate players seeking an expressive and easy-to-adjust Jazz Bass. It excels in funk, pop, rock, disco, soul, jazz, and all styles where a precise, dynamic bass that naturally sits in the mix is desired, whether played fingerstyle or with a pick.

Tone

The combination of a poplar body and maple neck/fretboard delivers a clear attack, good definition, and a present high end, ideal for articulated lines and slap playing. The two Fender-Designed Alnico single-coils provide the typical Jazz Bass behavior: a rounder, deeper neck pickup, a tighter and more biting bridge pickup, and especially a wide palette when blending both volumes. The simple circuit (Neck Volume, Bridge Volume, Tone) allows quick transitions from open, snappy tones to a warmer, more subdued sound without complications.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay true to the original spirit and preserve the intended feel, prioritize 34" / 864 mm long scale bass strings in nickel-plated steel, ideally with a gauge of .045-.105 (matching the factory setup).
