Squier by FENDER - Classic Vibe Active '70s Jazz Bass Mn Ocean Turquoise

Squier's Classic Vibe Active '70s Jazz Bass features a 9-volt preamp that gives you the freedom to adjust volume, tone and blend between pickups, as well as bass and treble boost. This extended palette lets you explore a wide range of sounds, whether you're grooving to funk or laying down deeper, clearer lines. Switching between active and passive modes gives you even more control over your sound, a trick that should arouse your curiosity.

In terms of construction, the poplar body and screw-down maple neck are solid and pleasant to the touch. The radius of the maple fingerboard (241 mm) and its 21 narrow tall frets make it easy to play, while the modern 'C' shape of the neck ensures a natural grip. Add to this the vintage nickel-plated tuners and bone saddle, and this Jazz Bass promises playability that combines comfort and authenticity.

The HiMass bridge optimises the bass's sustain and resonance, a crucial detail for those who want a consistent sound and better note attack. In addition, the choice of nickel-plated hardware adds a discreet touch of elegance that goes beyond mere aesthetics. You get the feeling that Squier has thought about both robustness and sound, so you can concentrate on your music without compromise.

With its Fender Designed Alnico Noiseless J Bass pickups, this bass considerably reduces hiss while delivering a dynamic, powerful sound. Whether you're a fan of round lines or more aggressive sounds, you'll appreciate this sonic clarity in all circumstances. This model, firmly rooted in the Jazz Bass tradition, is aimed at both amateurs and experienced bassists who want to experiment with a variety of tonal colours.
