The Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jazz Bass V is a nod to the 1970s evolution of the iconic J Bass combining its luxurious playability with the versatility and massive tone of dual Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups. Now with an extended lower range, this 5-string bass provides flexible, familiar feel along with vintage-inspired style.
A slim, comfortable C-shaped neck profile with a 9.5" fingerboard radius and narrow-tall frets make the 70s Jazz Bass V accessible for players of all styles. The 34" scale length provides tight, punchy low end while keeping the strings taut for clear note articulation.
This throwback Squier model features '70s-inspired details like block inlays, nickel-plated hardware and a vintage-tinted gloss neck finish. Its dual Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups deliver a range of tones from bright and cutting to warm and round. Individual pickup volume controls allow blending and balancing of the pickups, while the master tone control provides overall high-end roll-off.
A vintage-style bridge with slotted barrel saddles provides solid string stability and sustain. Vintage-style tuners keep the 70s Jazz Bass V in tune through the most aggressive playing. The synthetic bone nut ensures accurate intonation for chords and melodies across the neck.
