Squier Classic Vibe 70s Precision Bass Black MN

General

This Classic Vibe Series Precision Bass from Squier has the looks and style of an original Fender P-Bass from the '70s; a magical era in which authentic, lacquer-finished bodies with tinted maple necks were an often-seen combination. This new-old Squier sports various stylish details on the neck, including classic block inlays and a binding along the length of the fretboard. If it wasn't for its friendly price and the fact that it says 'Squier' on the headstock, you'd actually think this is a genuine Fender P-Bass.

The Classic Vibe 70s Precision Bass: Authentic Sound

It doesn't just look like a classic Precision Bass, it sounds like one too. That's down to the Fender-designed Alnico Split-Coil installed on this Squier. This pickup gives the instrument its characteristic P-style punch, so if you're into fat, thrusting lows and powerful mids, you might've just found what you were looking for. A HiMass bridge with four adjustable bridge saddles guarantees robust sound and rock-solid intonation and, to complete the picture, this bass comes with a set of vintage-style machine heads and a black finger rest mounted on the scratchplate.

Squier and the Classic Vibe Series

The most famous Fender models are the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass. While many other manufacturers have built quite a few imitations over the past decades, Fender wanted to be able to offer beginners an affordable alternative themselves and back in 1982, introduced daughter company, Squire. Ever since, Squier guitars and bass guitars have been built to Fender specifications and under the supervision of Fender themselves. The Classic Vibe models are part of a well-loved Squier Series based on vintage Fender designs, and each of these outstandingly-finished instruments delivers impressive sound for a remarkably sharp price.
