Description
The Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Jazz Bass V in Natural is a five string take on one of the most recorded bass designs ever. It is ideal for developing players, band members and working musicians who want the familiar comfort of a Jazz Bass with the added reach of a low B for modern pop, worship sets, funk, soul and rock. With its sleek offset body and a smooth playing neck, it delivers the punch, clarity and articulation that make a Jazz Bass so versatile, while the natural finish and period styling lend a timeless stage look that sits just as well in the studio as it does in rehearsal rooms and on gigs.
Features
Five string Jazz Bass versatility
The extra low B string opens up deeper grooves and extended voicings without changing position, all while keeping the slim, comfortable feel associated with a Jazz Bass. It is a straightforward way to cover modern arrangements and drop tuned parts, yet it still delivers that classic snap and definition when you need it.
Fender-designed Alnico pickups
A pair of Fender-designed Alnico single coils provide the bright bite, mid detail and tight low end that define the Jazz Bass sound. Independent volume controls for each pickup plus a master tone let you blend neck warmth and bridge definition quickly, making it easy to sit perfectly in any mix.
Comfortable maple neck and fingerboard
The maple neck with a comfortable C shape and maple fingerboard offers a fast, confident feel across all five strings. Black block inlays add a smart 1970s inspired touch, while the familiar 34 inch scale and tidy fretwork promote clean intonation, accurate slides and controlled bends during extended practice or performance.
Reliable vintage style hardware
A sturdy five saddle bridge aids precise intonation across the low B and ensures a consistent break angle for clear note definition. Vintage style tuners hold pitch securely and make for quick, accurate adjustments, so you can focus on playing rather than constant retuning.
Natural gloss finish with classic appeal
The natural gloss finish shows off the grain and pairs perfectly with the period correct cosmetics. It is durable enough for regular transport between rehearsals, lessons and gigs, and it cleans down easily to keep the instrument looking fresh over long stretches of use.
