Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Jazz Bass®

Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Jazz Bass® — Maple Fingerboard

The Jazz Bass hit its stride in the 1970s. With players like Jaco Pastorius and Larry Graham pushing the instrument to its limits, the J Bass became the go-to tool for players who needed versatility, articulation, and a voice that could cut through any mix. The Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Jazz Bass pays tribute to that era with period-correct details, dual alnico single-coil pickups, and the kind of playability that made the Jazz Bass a legend in the first place.

Key Features:

• Dual Fender-Designed Alnico Single-Coil Pickups — Two independently controlled pickups give the Jazz Bass its signature versatility — blend them for a full, balanced tone, favor the neck for warm roundness, or push the bridge for a bright, cutting growl that slices through a band mix
• Slim “C”-Shaped Neck Profile — The J Bass has always been known for its narrow, comfortable neck, and this one delivers that familiar, fast feel that fingerstyle players and slap bassists have loved for decades
• 9.5″ Radius Maple Fingerboard with Narrow-Tall Frets — A slightly modern radius for clean, comfortable fretting across the full range of the instrument, with a bright, snappy maple response that complements the alnico pickups perfectly
• Vintage-Tint Gloss Neck Finish — Aged amber coloring gives the neck a worn-in vintage aesthetic while the gloss finish keeps it smooth and polished under the hand
• Vintage-Style Bridge with Slotted Barrel Saddles — Period-accurate hardware that provides solid string stability and contributes to the instrument’s vintage character and sustain
• 1970s-Inspired Headstock Markings — The oversized ’70s-style headstock and era-correct logo are instantly recognizable to anyone who knows their Fender history
• Nickel-Plated Hardware — Classic finish that ties the vintage aesthetic together from bridge to tuners
