Classic Vibe™ Active ’70s Jazz Bass®, Maple Fingerboard, Parchment Pickguard, Ocean Turquoise

Another beautiful Vintage style Bass guitar from the Fender Squier range.

Description

The Classic Vibe™ Active ’70s Jazz Bass® draws its inspiration from the infamous basses that defined the funky tones of the 1970s, adding an onboard preamp for the ultimate combination of vintage looks and modern performance. Powering this Squier® groove machine is a pair of Fender Designed™ alnico Noiseless™ J Bass® pickups for punchy hum-free signal. The 9-volt preamp provides controls for volume, pickup blend, treble and bass boost, and a toggle to switch between active and passive for complete tone-shaping control. Other details include a HiMass™ bridge for optimal resonance, a striking bound fingerboard with block inlays, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tinted gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

FENDER DESIGNED NOISELESS PICKUPS

Designed in-house at Fender, the dual coil design of these alnico pickups eliminates unwanted noise from the signal while retaining tonal richness, detail and punch.

9V ACTIVE PREAMP

Powered by a 9-volt battery, this preamp includes controls for volume, pickup blend, tone, and treble/bass boost.

ACTIVE/PASSIVE SWITCH

With a tone knob that functions in both active and passive settings, the electronics include a switch on the control plate to engage the preamp for added bass and treble boost control.

BOUND FINGERBOARD

The bound fingerboard not only adds vintage charm to this instrument, but also improves visibility of the side markers in dark playing environments.

HIMASS BRIDGE

This top-load bridge features a plate with more mass that adds resonance and sustain while the 4 beefed up saddles seat nicely inside saddle slots for rock solid intonation and stability.

VINTAGE-TINTED NECK

With gloss finish for slick playing feel, this neck has a subtle tint for a throwback look.
