These models in stock may be of interest to you:
The Classic Vibe '70s Jazz Bass MN from Squier by Fender combines a retro aesthetic with playability designed for today's bassists. Its C-shaped maple neck provides a supple grip, backed by a 9.5" radius fingerboard that encourages smooth transitions. Its 2 Fender-designed single-coil pickups generate a dynamic, incisive sound, typical of the Jazz Bass models of the 1970s. The ensemble is completed by a vintage bridge and nickel-plated hardware, for old-fashioned string stability and a distinctive visual touch. A bass for those who like to feel the groove under their fingers, without forcing the pace.
Presentation
As for the pickups, the Classic Vibe '70s Jazz Bass MN is right up there. The 2 Fender-designed single coils with Alnico magnets react with precision to every detail of your playing. Light attack, energetic palm mute or big family slap, everything comes through unfiltered and with character. It's a bit like a mate saying things to you in a straightforward but not nasty way.
The vintage-style bridge of the Jazz Bass provides a solid foundation for the strings, without unnecessary tension. Its ribbed bridge construction ensures rigorous tuning, even when the groove starts to get seriously hot. This isn't a retro accessory for show: here, every detail has a role to play. And it plays it well.
Fender has slipped in a few discreet but effective visual references. The nickel-plated hardware, the vintage-style open tuners, the black three-ply pickguard: everything evokes the 70s without turning into a bass museum. The 'aged' effect of the glossy finish on the neck gives the instrument a real personality. The result is a bass with the look, the sound and that extra bit of temperament that makes you want to talk to it.
The 3-colour Sunburst finish on the Classic Vibe '70s Jazz Bass MN is in keeping with the Fender tradition while remaining accessible. You don't need to be a funk encyclopaedia or a collector of rarities to feel what this bass has to offer. It speaks directly to your fingers, your heart, and a little to your neighbour too when you turn up the volume. You've been warned.

To find out more...
To accompany this Jazz Bass, think about a well-padded strap (the groove doesn't like tense shoulders), a set of spare nickel-plated steel strings, or even a padded case to transport it without stressing it. And if you're playing in a band, a good amp with a jack input will help you get this Squier's warm, punchy voice across without raising the volume.
