Description
The Squier Classic Vibe 60s Mustang Bass in Olympic White is a short scale, 4 string electric bass that blends classic Fender style with easy playing comfort. With its compact 30 inch scale and balanced body, it is ideal for beginners, returning players and guitarists moving to bass, as well as experienced musicians who want that punchy, vintage voiced thump. The timeless Olympic White finish with tortoise style accents looks at home on any stage, and the straightforward single pickup layout makes dialling in a great sound quick and intuitive. Whether you lean towards indie, soul, Motown or modern pop, this Mustang delivers warm lows and a focused midrange that sits perfectly in the mix.
Built for feel and tone, the Classic Vibe 60s Mustang Bass pairs a resonant nato body with a smooth maple neck and an Indian laurel fingerboard. A comfortable C shape profile, a modern 9.5 inch radius and tidy fretwork encourage clean fretting and confident technique, while the vintage style hardware keeps tuning stable. The Fender Designed Alnico split single coil pickup adds authentic character, clarity and output. Compared with a typical Student 1 instrument, you get a more refined pickup, improved fret finishing, sturdier hardware, and an overall step up in resonance and sustain, which makes practice more rewarding and performances more consistent.
For UK tuition and school use, the shorter scale reduces stretch for smaller hands and younger learners, helping build good hand position without strain. The simple control set, reliable intonation and comfortable body contour make lesson changes and ensemble rehearsals straightforward, while the classic tone covers school bands, jazz groups and contemporary workshops with ease. It is light enough for daily practice, rugged enough for gigging, and offers strong long term value thanks to its quality components and timeless design. Set it up with medium or light strings to suit the player, and it will happily progress from first lessons to regular shows without missing a beat.
