Construction and look of the Classic Vibe™ Active '70s Jazz Bass
The HiMass™ bridge adds sustain and stability, which is useful when you want a solid response and a firm foundation in your bass lines. A bound fingerboard with block inlays, vintage-tinted gloss neck finish and nickel-plated hardware give this Squier a clear old-school look.
The brown finish supports that classic style and reinforces the vintage character of this electric bass. If you want personal advice on a bass like this, Magna Music can also help you with guidance from staff who are musicians themselves.
Who this electric bass guitar suits
The Squier Classic Vibe™ Active '70s Jazz Bass is well suited to bass players who want a lot of variation from one instrument. The combination of noiseless pickups, active EQ and a passive mode makes this Jazz Bass broadly usable for players who value groove, clarity and a classic appearance.
The overall finish also appeals to anyone who places strong value on the visual side of an instrument as well as its controls. You get a bass guitar that clearly draws on the 70s idea in both looks and operation, with modern tone shaping close at hand.
