Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Electric Bass

No longer available at zZounds
If you want flashy vintage style with the playing comforts and sonic considerations of modern bass guitars, this may be just the right monster for you.

Squier's Classic Vibe Jazz Bass '60s has all of the "deluxe" elements its Fender big brother had when it was introduced in the 1960s--a groovy offset waist, a narrow fast-action maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, two custom single-coil pickups, individual volume controls that let players "solo' either pickup or blend them, and a master tone control for overall sound shaping. The look is pure Fender--a classic Olympic White finish on a basswood body with a tortoise shell pickguard, thumbrest and "HiMass" bridge with brass barrel saddles. The vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets and a modern 9.5 inch radius. Tonal versatility and clarity with a quick, punchy up-front sound.

Let me just say that by far this the best Jazz Bass I have ever played including some Fender MIA!! It feels and plays smooth like butter.Absolutely flawless finish, Not one blemish on it, the frets are perfect, no rough edges ANYWHERE!!! Anyone who over spends just to have a "famous" name on the headstock is only cheating themselves if they pass this monster of a bass up. Squier Classic Vibe basses can easily go head to head with any thousand dollar bass. Don't take my word for it, PLAY IT!!!!
Sound
Grade A++ sound with the stock pups really no need to upgrade. Smooth neck tones, and snappy bridge.
Features
Sexy looking bass. Squier did a great job with this one, especially with the pickguard, I love the old school thumb rest as well.
Quality
Quality wise, it us so far ahead of anything in or around its pri5e range.This bass is grossly underpriced, but I ain't complaining ;)
Value
It's a true gem.
The Wow Factor
Not enough words to describe how great this bass is, in not exaggerating.
