I hope you’re doing ok man, and hope you feel better soon. Best wishes.
Thank you! I definitely got off lightly compared to others and am feeling a lot better a lot quicker than expected. Thank you again! T
you probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Mack Alfonso instablaster ;)
@Khalil Christian Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Khalil Christian It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out !
I'm a guitarist in the market for a solid P bass that isn't too expensive. I visited a guitarcenter today to try out some and I completely agree with what you said about them. The CV 60's blew the other ones out of the water. Amazing build quality and tone for $500 USD.
Nice! I’m glad to hear it translates from bass to bass! T
The 50s for me is a beautiful instrument and the single coil sounds epic. The build quality of mine in excellent
I was going to pick up a CV60s P Bass at some point man and your video has just sold it to me! Really brilliant breakdown of them, also get well soon pal!
Joe Coombs amazing news! It kills for the price - you cannot go wrong! Thanks for watching brother and the well wishes, I’m feeling 95%, thankfully I only got it lightly! Stay safe my man 🙏🏻
Recently bought a CV Jaguar medium scale based on your videos. Thanks. After setting it up over the week, I'm able to get action down to 2mm at the 12th fret on all strings....smooth and responsive up and down the neck. The only thing I don't like is that the tone knobs are not very responsive on any of the pickups; the changes are very subtle. Still, I love this bass! [Update: had ground hum, so opened up the bridge and pot panel. There were some bad solder joints, so patched all up. Tone knobs work now, hum is gone. Solder person was in a hurry the day mine was built. All is great now!]
Great review, Tyler. And don't worry, you're young so you should be okay, man!
Thank you! Glad you liked it! A week on and I’m in good health, definitely youth on my side! T
jaguar gang lesgo, love the tier list format btw
Awesome news! I’m glad you like it, I’ll definitely consider more! Jaguars FTW 💪🏻T
Thank you for sharing, just got a Bronco and I'm really happy with it's playability. Get well soon!
Amazing news! The bronco is really such a playable little beast, just a fun bass to have around and so much more! Thank you for the support and kind words! T
Get well soon brother.
Thank you! I’m all good, I got off lightly compared to others, for sure. T
I got a squier classic vibe 60s precision bass Olympic White, and I have really liked and enjoyed this bass, sounds great
The CV60s kills imo! Happy to hear you enjoy it! T
I’m really excited for you to try out the new Squier Paranormal Jazz Bass. It might be the best in the entire lineup right now. The finish is superb, the pickups growl, and it has a super unique VT VT stack knobs set-up. An easy match even for my Road Worn and Am Pro basses.
Gotta get hold of one of these - I’ve heard nothing but good things, and the stack knobs sound like a delight too! T
@@TylerSpicer Yes, I got one and it is really a nice bass. The build quality was excellent- just a small bit of fret sprout that I had taken care of under warranty. No regrets on that purchase.
I have the 60s jazz cv and like it. Definitely in the good category at least for me.
I'd like to see you review the Harley Benton Basses.
Not the first request I’ve had to review them, so I will see if I can get in touch with them and get some models to review! T
Hope you're doing well, Tyler! Agree with the Jag 32 inch being in the great category, it's probably the most versatile bass in my rack at the moment. Perhaps the quality control is inconsistent at the factory, because my CV 70s Precision is a lovely feeling and sounding bass! I have small hands, so the super slim neck suits my playing. Thanks for the video!
Doing well thank you! Love that Jag, I’m a really sucker for it! The QC definitely varies unfortunately, but for many the 70s is definitely gonna feel more comfortable, just doesn’t quite feel right in my hands. Thank you for continually supporting the channel! T
I'd love to see you review the Paranormal '54 Jazz bass and add it to this tier list.
What's it feel like in terms of weight and neck size
@@gamesmaster1060 that's what I'd like to find out.
I love my CV70s Jazz Bass. I had a real thick tone and works wonder with a pick. If you ever get a chance to pick one up I would recommend.
Great to hear! If one comes along I’ll definitely give it a play! T
How did you miss the 70’s Classic Vibe Jazz bass?
I sadly haven’t played one! 😥 T
always the best and most helpful reviews on youtube from a player's perspective.
Best wishes for a prompt recovery Tyler!
Cheers for this, very useful comparison. I just got a Squier Mini Precision and I'm really impressed by the overall quality. Maybe you'll review it soon?
Thank you! Im fortunate to be much better! I’ll definitely see if I can get my hands on one! T
I've had a squire jazz bass from 1993, i bought that second hand and it's still going strong and gigged it certainly has
Best wishes to you. Feel better soon! You make great videos, thanks for this one too.
Thank you for the support it’s much appreciated! I’m feeling a lot better thank you! T
I got a CV60's back in April and am totally in love with it. At first i thought the neck was far too thick and really uncomfy, but am totally used to it now.
And that tone! Fuckin hell!!!
Glad you're on the mend Ty!
Amazing news! Thick necks are where it’s at - so much tone comes from the neck in my experience. If you want a big bassy tone without a load of EQ, that’s the only way imo! Thank you, I got it very lightly compared to some of the things you see on the news, for which I’m very thankful 🙏🏻 T
@@TylerSpicer Yeah, really gives that Sting, early Police throb. Cannae beat it.
Try to avoid the street raves and you'll not catch it again mate. 😉
Draxler Chronicles 😂 if only! I think it was from an Asda self-scan in Bristol of all places 😂 T
Bass Player magazine rated it one of the best bases for the money. I have one and it is exceptional.
got a white squier contemporary jazz bass...the one with the ceramic humbuckers! amazing quality, and a very thick full tone...the best squier i have ever played...the 60 s classic vibe preci i also liked....the new squier are very good instruments in my opinion, much better than years ago...i think some are made in the cort factory in Indonesia...
TheCrusader1099 amazing stuff! I’ve never come across one but would love to give one a play. The classic 60s is a great bass too! You’re getting a very decent instrument for your money with these, no doubt! T
yes, the classic 60's precision is made by Cort
Good content = no fancy set needed! One more subscriber here!
Sean Marholm thank you, Sir! Massively appreciate your support and more content like this headed your way! T
Hey Tyler, another great review and get well soon man.
Alec M thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely on the mend, and fortunate to have gotten off lightly compared to many! T
Get well soon mate. Really love your channel, really inspiring and entertaining
Definitely feeling almost back to normal, if a little tired! Thank you for all your support! T
Where would the new paranormal jazz bass rank? If you’ve tried it yet
My question also!
@@lafemmeparallel I’ve heard people say thats squiers best bass so im very curious
@@Owen-ne6pe me too, my brother bought it but we dont live in the same city so i cant test it haha, but sounds awesome from vids he has sent me
I want to know this too!! Supposedly they're better than the Classic 50s which are in th "good" category
Sorry to hear about you being ill, and hope you are less sick than I was with C19. Thanks for the reviews, pity I'm stuck with just the Mustang out of your reviews. Even the medium scale is out of my reach as I have short stubby arms and have thus decided that short scale is just a constraint I'm living with. I'm most likely to pick up the Squier Bass VI and the Marcus Miller short scale PJ. Apart from a hollow body of some sort (apart from my Höfner), that will cover my needs.
Thank you! I definitely had it light, and I’m sorry to hear you had it badly! Those Squier VI basses are definitely a cool option to have around! I haven’t checked out the Marcus Miller short scales, I must take a look. Höfners are definitely fun basses to have around too! Make sure the bass is nice and tight in to your body too, as that can give you extra bit of reach. There’s a lot of fun to be had with short scales and you’re not “missing out” except for when it comes to choice.
T
What would you say about classic vibe 70s jazz?
Ok so the 2 great basses are the 2 I'm considering getting as a 1st bass... still don't know which one to choose 😅
Get well soon buddy, love all your videos, they're the best on you tube.
Thank you for the support! I’m definitely on the mend thankfully! T
Hope you get better. You videos definitely helped me picked out my first bass
Amazing news, really happy to be helping! Thank you, feeling a lot better thankfully! T
Hey Tyler! Hope you feel better. I am a newbie and about to buy my bass guitar. Do you recommend the Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazz Bass?
Hey Susie! I’m a lot better thank you. That’s great news! The CV60s is a solid bass, and if you’re heart is set on its looks and what you’ve heard of it, then there’s no reason not to. You can definitely learn and grow as a player with that bass. Let me know if you need to know more! T
IIIIIITS TYLER!!!! I have a bronco bass and I love it
Great bass and great fun! Not surprised you love it! 😃 T
Hey Tyler, get better, I love your videos and you need to get better because you havent reviewed the 2020 Squier CV Jazz Fretless yet. Get better soon.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’ll see what I can do on the CV Fretless front! Definitely on the mend and your support is massively appreciated. T
Hi! I love your channel! I wanna buy a bass but I don't know if I should take the classic vibe 60 or 70. I like rock and punk rock and I don't know which one I should take to do this genre. You convinced me to take the 60s even if I have small hands, but I wish you can reply to me to give me an advice because i want to play rock. Have a lovely day!!
Hello! First - small hands don’t matter! It’s all about positing. For rock and punk, I’d go for the 70s! T
@@TylerSpicer thank you so much for your reply! Honestly I think that I wanna try them in person and take the one that I like the most. Honestly I'm confused because I like a lot the sound of the 60s ahah but I don't know if it's good for rock. Even if I saw that the bassist of green day use a bass with a 59s pick up and I don't know what to choose ahah but thank you a lot for your advice!
I have a 70’s cv p bass that’s a few years old. Perhaps they build them differently at present as mine has a fairly chunky neck. The build quality on it is good, much better than the 2020 cv Mustang I had which I sold. I liked the tone of the 70s pbass stock but I changed the pickup out on a whim for a Duncan Steve Harris. The tone is now mid heavy and brighter especially with Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt Flats on it.
I also have one of the black Jaguars. I agree with you that the features are a notch above especially the stacked knobs which I much prefer. I love being able to run both pickups at full volume with the p tone all the way up and the jazz rolled off. Unfortunately I don’t like the neck profile. My thumb gets tired with skinnier necks. So I’m going to sell it.
I get the same thing with the skinny neck and the thumb. Totally would be surprised if your Squier 70s had a bigger neck, I feel like they are less specific with specs for Squier than the US and MIM stuff. Massive fan of the specs of the jag, most underrated Squier out there imo! T
Yours probably the older version with basswood and high-mass bridge
Got the last one you featured on order, get well soon.
I had the “C” too! Feel better, sir! Love the channel.
Great video, as always!
Thank you for tuning in once again! T
Take care, get well soon mate.
Thank you! A lot better thankfully! T
I hope you get well soon mate.
Thank you! Definitely on the mend and feeling good - I’ve been very fortunate! T
Another great vid - thanks! Can you please review the Squire Jazz fretless?
That’s the second request in this comment section for that bass so I’ll definitely see what I can do! T
@@TylerSpicer Thanks! Hope you feel better soon.
That last Squier Jaguar that you put in the Great quality is it a CV Jaguar?
Great review!!! I own a CV 60s and I love it. It has a meaty neck, 1.68, which is thicker than a modern precision at 1.625, but not quite as thick as a vintage 60s or custom shop which is gonna be 1.73. I love a thick neck, I do own a 70s jazz and the thin neck is not a profile a prefer(it sounds wonderful though). Squiers are great value; Ron Thorn- the principal master builder in the Fender Custom Shop lists his number one guitar as a squier stratocaster.
Love the CV 60s, just feels like a proper P to me! Squiers are definitely great value and you can find some gems - wood’s an inconsistent material after all! T
Super Cool post! Cheers from michael t wyman jam night jammer 2013-2019 Hollywood/LA.
Guitar (Strats), sometimes bass, played a red Squire Bronco thru an Ampeg 15" combo on wheels.
The host purchased and brought weekly for Sunday night 7 to 10 pm Rainbow blues jam. Upstairs.
(Played drums too a few times as a sub / when the drummer was late. to keep things moving).
Fun times. Highly recommended. Hope jam nights return! maybe 2022. Cheers!
I really like the squier jaguar black look with the black blocks in the fretboard. ****Question **** At standard tuning, the strings feels woobly? Thats my only concern.
Loved this video Tyler, play a Squier Mustang myself as well as a hofner ignition, happy you think it's a good bass, would love your opinion of the ignition some time but thanks for posting and hope you recovered well mate👍👍
Hope you’re ok, hope you get better soon.
Thank you! Much appreciated! I’m feeling a lot better already! T
Hope you’re getting well. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much for the support, more videos will be coming as always! I’m well now a week later and all is better. My taste is a little different than before but everything else day-to-day is good! T
Have you tried the newer Squire Jaguar H yet? If so, how do you feel about it?
Have you tried the Mike Dirnt P bass? Where would it fit in your rankings?
I want to know your opinion about Sire basses. I hope you would review thoses basses in the future.
You know, I’ve never played a Sire! But I really need to... I’ll see what I can do! T
Get well soon. I was wondering which one you would modify and where that would place it on the list.
I’m better thankfully! Thank you for the support! I would take either the 60s P and make it a lot like my custom shop P, or the 32” Jaguar Bass, as I love the feel of it! T
Tyler love your videos. Get well and stay safe
Amazing to hear! Thank you for all your support. I’m feeling well thank you, last day of self-isolation today! T
Absolutely amazing. Thank you!
Peter W no problem at all! Thank you for the support! T
Get well soon Tyler, you deserve it!
Haha! Thank you my man, feeling a lot better, thank you! T
@@TylerSpicer thank you for your very useful video!
Luigi Zanini happy to help as always my man, and thank you for always tuning in! T
Speedy recovery Tyler
Thank you! Feeling almost great again already, just a little more smell at taste to come back and some more time isolating to make sure everyone else stays safe! T
Hope you're doing well man! I've got the CV 60s P bass. Replaced the scratchplate and the pickups for Fender original pickups. There was hardly a difference! Testimony to the great squier quality methinks 🙌 Going to pick up a Mustang ti review next!
Doing a lot better thank you! Nice stuff, such a sucker for the CV60s, definitely a king amongst the Squier stable imo! Look forward to your Mustang review! T
@@TylerSpicer Glad to hear! Thanks 😊
Tyler, i am a big Squier fan ! I ve got the affinity PJ you ranked last. I have the affinity Jazz too. PJ is very well made and sounds amazing. The Jazz on the other hand is pretty inconsistent and sounds weak. I can directly compare the J to the V.Modified 77 Jazz i had before it and they are not even close. Get Standards Vibes and Modified's guys. Affinity can easily be hit or miss. Just my 2 cents. Thank you Tyler, all the best : )
Get well soon, 🙏
Btw, what is that white semi-hollow that's behind you?
Thank you, feeling a lot better! That’s a Warwick Custom Shop Starbass II. There’s a fully review on my channel if you want to hear it! T
@@TylerSpicer Thanks for the swift reply!
Changed my mind tried a jaguar bass wasn’t keen at all, then a player series precision bass I liked this a lot, but picked up the squire precision bass fell in love soon as I played it the feel and sound knocked the others out, I’m no expert but I just knew this was right for me so brought the 50s precision 👍
Hope you get better my man. Cheers from Portugal
Thank you! Out of self-isolation tomorrow and feeling much much better, thank you! T
Looking forward to your views on the 40th anniversary models!
Harley Benton, same quality, half price...or for the price of a CV you can get a HB + upgrades and have a very instrument
George Vrachliotis I need to get hold of an HB! Only ever hear good things! T
At 80% ! I have many of both and HB need more refinement !
Your opinions carry great weight. Much appreciated. Peace .
Feel better Tyler!
Thank you! A lot better now thankfully! T
no paranormal J? that one intrigues me. glad C19 was chill for you.
I haven’t tried one yet, but heard good things! Thank you, I appreciate it! T
I'd also like to know where the paranormal fits in here! Great? Most people seem to think it's better than the classic 50s
Get well soon, mate
Thank you my man, much better now a week on! T
The lower the price, the more variability there is in terms of QC and tone. You might have to try 5 Affinities to find one good one. In general, the Chinese built CV’s from 8-10 years ago are better than the current Indonesian built ones. The body woods used in some instances were different than current models. There was no Nato being used back then. Many models had basswood bodies instead.
Get well soon, man!
Thank you! I didn’t get it half as bad as many, fortunately, and I’m almost back to full health thankfully! T
Well, I’m getting a PJ Affinity Series Pack, I hope it’ll be featured
I dont think hes reviewed that one yet
it's the best budget base on the market, i play one almost exclusively even though i have a £3000 Schecter and a £1800 American made MusicMan stingray. lol ...for £199 its an amazing bass
Manga Mash'up Yeah and with the pack (Amp, Strap, Gig Bag and the instrument cable), it’s a great deal for just 255£
@@miroslavbartunek2846 100% its a great deal.
I was thinking of getting walnut p squier but i ended up choosing the marcus miller p7
Thank you
ƏŁƏVƏŇ ŇMŇMƏX nice! What are your thought on it? I reckon you probably made a better choice with that one. T
@@TylerSpicer i was looking for something with versatility so yeah and i picked the marcus miller p7
I play the MB4 in blue and the skull version I wish they would make them again!
I never caught these! I need to do some research... When we’re they made? T
@@TylerSpicer i know they stopped production in 2012 I believe
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. Please take time to get good rest & eat some good food to help you recover. Cheers
Thank you Randy, I appreciate that. I'm in a good place now, feeling back to normal, I was lucky! T
I have a squire p bass cv 70 with lindy fralin pickup and flatwound string (thomastik). I run it into a vt bass and I totally love it! 😍
The best part is that pbass with pu and vt were used, so bass + pedal + strings = all for ~500€ 🤣
That sounds killer! I have no doubt you’ve got a great bass there. Enjoy it into 2023, and thank you for watching! T
@@TylerSpicer i have v2 so no di, but i also have a sonicake ir loader, so i can choose to use vt bass speaker emulation or another one and i have a di output
I have the 60’s and 70s CV precisions.
My experience is the reverse of your own
My 70s has a chunky neck, a better bridge and is acoustically super loud.
It came second hand with a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder and a “reliced” (wrecked) body.
My 60s has a less stable neck - it’s needed lots of adjustment.
I’m thinking of swapping the bodies so I get an Olympic white p with maple and blocks
Great roundup
Thank you
Thanks for putting together this list, it's really useful. Hope you're doing okay.
Thank you! Happy to have helped! I’m feeling a lot better thank you!
Hope you get better mate
Thank you! Feeling better already - I’m very fortunate to have escaped lightly compared to many others.
Glad to hear buddy, must be getting more infectious and less deadly
rob_bassman I hope for everyone around the world that that’s what’s happening! 🙏🏻 If everyone had it with as little consequence as I do we’d all be a lot better off! T
Get well 💕
where is the vintage modified series?
I’ve never played them so cant rank them sadly - where would you rank them? T
Hope you are doing okay...
🎸🎵💕
On the mend thank you! T
Glad to see the Affinity here, thinking of getting one despite the "no from me" ranking because it comes in a really affordable starter pack with an amp and all. Classic Vibe is almost 50% dearer and no amp. A step up to aim for unless I manage to make some crazy man maths to justify spending that much on an instrument I never touched in my life.
Get well hope you can play a lot while in isolation
Thank you! Definitely, and a load of time to make videos too! 😃 T
hope you're doing well with covid
Thank you! Feeling better - my last day of mandatory self-isolation is today! 💪🏻 T
Bro, i hope you get better
Thank you my man, definitely on the mend! T
Vitamin C D
I love these types of videos! Wish you a speedy recovery! :)
Great news! Thank you for the support - more of these incoming! And feeling a lot better, thankful to only have had light symptoms! T
