Squier Classic Vibe 70s Precision Bass, Black, Maple Fingerboard

Squier never ceases to amaze me with the quality of their guitars and the Classic Vibe Precision bass is no exception! It's rock solid with a WARM low end tone. Perfect for R&B (Sounds great when I played Motown, Isley Bros., etc.), blues, classic rock or pretty much anything. Its split-single coil pickup is simple yet punchy. The action of the strings is just right and mine came with D'addrio strings on it. It was ready to play. The vintage look is just pretty; black finish, glossy neck with block inlays, the vintage lettering on the headstock is a NICE touch. Overall, this is an awesome bass...great for beginners, amateurs, even pros. I highly recommend it!

Squier hits it out of the park with this one. If you're wanting the Fender bass experience, but aren't' ready for the Fender price, you can't go wrong here. Every player who has seen and/or handled this instrument is wowed by the quality of construction as well as the attractive finish and design. The sound is what you'd expect from a bass 2-3 times the price. Was delivered set up properly, buzz-free, nicely intonated.

Bass arrived 24 hours after I ordered it. Surprised at how light it was. I let it acclimate for 24 hours then tuned it to standard EADG. Tag on the neck said it had been set up by ‘Vera’ and packed in December 2022. Set up was fine, no buzz, just the right amount of relief. Fretboard/truss did not require adjustment. Played it through my Fender ‘Rumble’ modeling amp and was pleased with the sound. Impeccably smooth finish , love the maple fretboard.

I started playing guitar about 3 years ago . I mainly play rhythm guitar. I am a believer in purchasing quality instruments but since I am far from a professional musician I stay in the middle of the road on cost.Recently, my band wanted me to play bass. I originally thought of getting a Fender P Bass but I couldn’t justify the cost at this time . Enter the Squier P Bass. I couldn’t be happier . All of the musicians I play with (which are vastly more experienced than me) have all commented on how great of an investment I made .I read blogs and reviews . They all say that this is a perfect quality middle of the road bass. I may not be an expert but I have received a lot of compliments on this bass .By the way , the mahogany is gorgeous

I bought this to teach lessons on. I thought buying it from Amazon I would have to do a complete set up when I got it. I have not had to put a single tool on this thing. It was even almost in tune when it arrived. Sounds so good I’m going to leave my $2000 jazz bass at the house for my next gig and I’m taking this! Great job Squier!

I would have given this bass guitar 5 stars, but there are a few issues. The tone knob fell off within a few weeks of owning it. The action of the bass is too high and it definitely needs to be set up when it arrives. I'm not expecting perfection in that department, but just something that would have made the experience better. The pickguard seems really cheap to me...has an insane amount of ugly scratches after barely any playing. Apart from that, tone and sustain are impressive for the price.

Squier has really increased the quality of the years I was impressed with the quality feels like fender Mexican made quality. The neck is super nice this bass is a keeper

I got the guitar and I actually like it very much but either one of the pickups or the volume knob has an intermittent open and continues to cut out so I'm sure I'm going to have to take it to the shop and spend another 100 bucks to fix it
