Product Detail
First launched in 1960, the Jazz Bass has endured over time and become one of the most popular and recorded instruments in modern music history. In the 1970s, as roundwound strings and brighter bass sounds gained popularity, several changes were made to the J Bass to fit the evolving music production preferences. Notably, maple fingerboards were introduced, and the back pickup was moved closer to the bridge. The Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jazz Bass captures this cool vibe in an incredibly budget - friendly instrument. It features the classic J Bass offset - waist body, a fast - action neck, and dual single - coil pickups. This bass is extremely comfortable to play, allowing you to effortlessly execute tight runs and grooves. Of course, it also delivers the legendary punchy bass sound unique to Jazz Bass pickups.
