About the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass

The Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass aims for genuinely period-correct feel rather than simply a budget modern bass: a poplar body under a gloss finish, paired with a maple neck carrying a "C" shape and a tinted gloss urethane finish meant to evoke an aged original. The Indian laurel fingerboard sits at a 9.5-inch radius with 20 narrow-tall frets and a bone nut at 1.5 inches wide, on the standard 34-inch scale.

Pickups are two vintage-voiced, Fender-designed Alnico II single coils in the classic Jazz Bass layout, each with its own volume control and a shared master tone - letting players blend neck and bridge output independently for the growl-to-mellow tonal range the model is known for. The bridge is a vintage-style design with threaded saddles, finished in nickel-plated hardware with 1960s-inspired headstock branding throughout.

Sound character of the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass

This budget-tier take on the '60s Jazz Bass uses the same dual single-coil layout to get the scooped-mid, bright voice of the original, though its more affordable pickups and hardware give it a slightly less refined, grittier top end than a US-made vintage reissue.

The history of the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass

The Fender Jazz Bass was introduced in 1960, and the 1960s specification - narrower nut, offset body contour, dual single coils - remains the version most closely associated with the model's classic tone and feel. Squier's Classic Vibe series revives that era's specification at an accessible price point, aimed at players who want a genuinely vintage-styled instrument rather than a modern reinterpretation.
