    A tribute to the 1970s evolution of the P Bass, the Squier Classic Vibe '70s Precision Bass embodies the aesthetics of the original and produces massive tone courtesy of its Fender-Designed alnico split-coil pickup. 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 threaded saddles. 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.

    i had coffee in a caffe about a year ago and there was a home band played on that caffe, as bass player i straightaway noticed that bass sound is very good. Its round and fat and blend perfectly with drum. I went closer to stage to check the bass player and he play 70s classic vibe squier bass

    I ordered this in black earlier today, n glad I ran acros syour vid. I agree Squier has upped their game BIG TIME! I recently sold off my vintage partscaster and decided to look at the other end of the cost spectrum. I ended up with 4 Squier guitars (2 strat 2 tele) and I'm just blown away! I was planning on changing out the pickups on my fav one, but decided to pause and take it to jam day with the stock ones, and I'm SOO glad I did! They weren't anything to writle home about when I was first plugging in by myself, but in the mix on jam day WOW! Keep it up Squier! Squier name on the headstock could soon be a badge of pride!!

    I have the 60s classic vibe (trying to re-create a specific guitar) and they really are amazing value for money. Squier is already above almost all or all other "second brand" companies, and i think they put extra love and resources into the "Classic Vibe" ones. It really approaches a true North America made fender in quality.

    • @TomButwin
      @TomButwin  8 місяців тому +1

      The CV Squiers are absolutely insane. A total steal, whether it's this bass or any of the guitars too. I agree!

    I picked up a used '70's p-bass just like that one, and he's right. For the money, I couldn't buy a better bass, period. But if you're a headstock snob, well, you're missing out.

    • @TomButwin
      @TomButwin  Рік тому

      Love the term “headstock snob” lol! I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been one at certain points, but after playing some of these more recent “budget” brands, I’ve been seriously impressed.

    Dude that thing sounds killer! Like seriously, as a bass player, I was like, "that bass has got some beefy tone!" And the price even without the discount is pretty reasonable. What kind of amp setup did you have to record it for the video?

    Grabbed this bass and i dig the feel and look but ive gotta say the pickup is LOUD, lots of buzz and hum when the tone is cranked up past halfway. Sounds great with the tone rolled off but still pretty dissapointed with the pickup, will likely swap
