Fender Squier Classic Vibe 70s 5-String Jazz Bass, Natural, Maple Fingerboard

Parfait. Super son. Finition top. Rapport qualité/prix : difficile de faire mieux.

This Sqiuer by Fender Classic Vibe 70s Jazz Bass is basically awesome but there are expected drawbacks for an entry-level bass guitar like this. The fit and finish is good but getting the perfect set up out of it is a little bit challenging because the frets are not aligned quite as nicely as a higher end bass which means getting that perfectly "low action" feel without buzzing is hard. Having said that, it comes with both Allen keys (truss rod and bridge) so you can play around with it and get a decent set up with a bit of time and effort. The fit and finish other than that is good. The bridge and tuners work well to keep the bass in tune and and neck feels like a classic thin J bass. Any player should find it easy to play this bass. The pickups leave a lot to be desired. It doesn't have much thump on the low end and isn't particularly bright on the high end. Compared to my girlfriend's Player Series Fender Mustang Bass, there is a lot less clarity out of the Squier but it doesn't sound 'bad'. It's got a decent low mid range and sounds 'good' when plugged into the right amp. It sounds like it's just slightly better than an entry-level bass guitar. I think the bridge pick up sounds good overall and the neck pick up is 'just alright'. There is some humming with each pick up if your tone knob is up but, interestingly, using both pick ups seems to cancel the hum which is a nice perk. I personally do like the sound of both pick ups maxed with tone all the way down. Again, not much clarity or brightness out of the pickups so leaving the tone knob down seems to produce the smoothest and most pleasant results. Bridge pickup superior to neck pickup in terms of overall sound quality. I did have a loose second volume knob but it was very easy to open up the cap and screw it back on tightly so it's not worth knocking down my rating for that. The gloss finish on the neck (both front and back) is not for everyone but I really like it. Maybe it is less ideal compared to a satin finish for a lot of moving around but it keeps the hand steady as far as grip. This is a nice back-up bass, first bass, or travel bass but I doubt any serious players will find this a good value at any price. Might be good for guitar players who just want to dabble. I know the Player series is a far jump in price but I recommend going that route for a more serious player that wants that stage-ready or recording-ready sound. This Jazz Bass from Squier is a good value overall if you temper your expectations and you're not playing live or recording. Good enough for band practice which, at this price point, is impressive.

I bought this "Used-Very Good" for $300. That was not a very good description. When I pulled it out of the box, my jaw dropped. This thing is MINT! Not a blemish on it. The body wood is perfect. The neck is straight and true. The action is fantastic. And, it still had the plastic coverings on the pickguard, pickups, control plate, and tuners, and all the tags, including the factory tag. The one thing I found was a speck of polishing compound. Tuned it up and tried it out. It's not what I expected. It's better. Even though I haven't plugged it in yet, playing it revealed you can get nice, round bass tones, or a sharp slap sound. The action is good. The fit and finish on this one is fantastic. No mismatched wood, no frets needing filing, and the tuning pegs are nice and crisp. And the body is NOT light as some have mentioned. It's downright heavy! It rivals the weight of my 1969 Dan Armstrong! If I didn't know better, I'd swear I had a late 60's/early 70's Jazz Bass. I had an older friend who had one, and let me play it, and it certainly feels the same and plays the same. I thank the seller for sending me such a magnificent musical instrument. it is second only to my original Dan Armstrong. I have a 1992 P-Bass lyte as well, and I play it all the time, but this bass has been placed above it. I'll admit, the P-Bass Lyte is easier to play, but the sheer pinache of this piece outshines it. Always wanted an all-maple Fender. And, this FEELS and plays like a Fender. I've played other Squier basses. Some were OK, some were really good. This is the best one yet. And it only took 52 years. Am I gushing? I must be in love. Maybe I got a gem. EDIT: I finally brought it to a rehearsal. I got a Crossrock case for it and dragged it down there. I plugged it into my Behring BX4500 with a Peavey 1820 cabinet and we started playing. After the 3rd song the guys were commenting how good it sounded. Classic Fender Jazz Bass. My other basses have narrower necks, and the first few songs were tough, but I didn't have to switch. They couldn't believe what I paid for it. The Crossrock Tweed bass case fit so well it was like it was made for it. Perfect fit, no slopping around inside. I am quite well pleased with both.

Baixo tem um som muito bom. Gostei demais.

This is well made and plays very well. I was a little apprehensive after ordering but when it arrived we became friends pretty fast, Its extremely well priced, looks great and does all the things a jazz bass should do. I needed something last minute for a session and its probably (dare I say it) now a mainstay. It sounds actually what you would expect from a jazz bass. It sounds WAY better than its price. It would seem the pickups are wired for a hum bucking configuration when both are turned up (this is good!) I have an actual late 60's jazz bass and an assortment of others. Any mild hum you get with one or the other pickup off is probably normal for this particular configuration...
