The Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass (3-Colour Sunburst) comes in the style of the original J-Bass, including comfortable playing characteristics and the well-known versatile sounds. Fender initially relies on a lightweight Poplar body in the typical off-set design and a bolt-on Maple neck, whose narrow "C" profile with a 38mm nut width is particularly comfortable in the hand. 2x Fender designed Alnico Single Coil pick-ups and the classic passive circuit with 2x volume knobs and the high-end panel promise versatile Bass sounds for almost any genre. In terms of hardware, the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass offers a 4-Saddle bridge with steel saddles and vintage-style tuners.

Label snobs who turn their noses up at the Squier range, insisting on having the Fender name on the headstock are missing out on a lot. This bass is easily as good as any Fender I’ve owned & better than some. It’s a really versatile bass sound-wise, a comfortable weight & looks great.
The only disappointing thing on my model was that one of the machine heads was bent on receipt. As the bass was very well packed, I believe this had happened prior to despatch & it may be that the seller needs to improve their product inspection procedure.
Great bass for good money. There is not that big difference in quality between real fender and this squier.
