A Tribute to the Evolution of the 1970s Jazz Bass

This Classic Vibe '70s Jazz Bass follows the lineage of the 1970s Jazz Bass evolution: a more pronounced aesthetic, strong stage presence, and a sonic character that remains precise in the mix. Within the Squier Classic Vibe range, it aims for that retro "feel" while maintaining modern playability standards, thanks to ergonomics designed for long rehearsals and gigs without fatigue.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

With its 34" / 864 mm scale length and dual single-coil pickup configuration, this bass suits both serious beginners (seeking a stable and inspiring instrument) and intermediate players looking for an effective Jazz Bass for stage or studio. It excels in funk (attack and definition), rock (biting tone), pop (clean foundation), and jazz (nuance and dynamics), with fine control via two volume knobs and a master tone.

Sound

The pair of Fender Designed Alnico Single-Coil pickups delivers the Jazz Bass DNA: a warm, full neck pickup; a tighter, more aggressive bridge pickup; and especially a wide palette when blended. The Volume (neck), Volume (bridge), and Master Tone controls allow you to go from a bright, harmonically rich snap to a softer register ideal for locking in the groove. The poplar body provides a balanced output, while the Indian Laurel fingerboard contributes to a clear attack and articulate mids. The vintage 4-saddle bridge adds to the "old-school" feel and delivers a direct response, perfect for both pick and fingerstyle lines.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay within original specs, choose a 4-string bass string set in nickel-plated steel with gauges .045-.105 (long scale format). For transport and protection, the Classic Series Precision/Jazz Bass Wood Hardshell Case, P/N 0996166306, is recommended as compatible (not included). A tuner and a standard strap are also suitable for this type of bass.
