A tribute to the 1970s evolution of the P Bass , the Classic Vibe ‘70s Precision Bass embodies the aesthetics of the original and produces massive tone courtesy of its Fender-Designed alnico split-coil pickup. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets as well as a vintage-style bridge with threaded saddles. This throwback Squier model also features 1970s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

I would have given this bass guitar 5 stars, but there are a few issues. The tone knob fell off within a few weeks of owning it. The action of the bass is too high and it definitely needs to be set up when it arrives. I'm not expecting perfection in that department, but just something that would have made the experience better. The pickguard seems really cheap to me...has an insane amount of ugly scratches after barely any playing. Apart from that, tone and sustain are impressive for the price.

Squier is Fender’s less expensive brand, but you wouldn’t know it by the quality of this guitar. The Classic Vibe series is just as good, if not better than, some guitars and basses with the Fender logo on them.

Bass arrived 24 hours after I ordered it. Surprised at how light it was. I let it acclimate for 24 hours then tuned it to standard EADG. Tag on the neck said it had been set up by ‘Vera’ and packed in December 2022. Set up was fine, no buzz, just the right amount of relief. Fretboard/truss did not require adjustment. Played it through my Fender ‘Rumble’ modeling amp and was pleased with the sound. Impeccably smooth finish , love the maple fretboard.

These Squier Classic Vibe basses are the best value for money. As good as any US Fender bass. I have both the J bass and now the P bass. Alnico pickups, bone nut...and the finish is perfect.

I started playing guitar about 3 years ago . I mainly play rhythm guitar. I am a believer in purchasing quality instruments but since I am far from a professional musician I stay in the middle of the road on cost. Recently, my band wanted me to play bass. I originally thought of getting a Fender P Bass but I couldn’t justify the cost at this time . Enter the Squier P Bass. I couldn’t be happier . All of the musicians I play with (which are vastly more experienced than me) have all commented on how great of an investment I made .I read blogs and reviews . They all say that this is a perfect quality middle of the road bass. I may not be an expert but I have received a lot of compliments on this bass .By the way , the mahogany is gorgeous

I got the guitar and I actually like it very much but either one of the pickups or the volume knob has an intermittent open and continues to cut out so I'm sure I'm going to have to take it to the shop and spend another 100 bucks to fix it

I bought this to teach lessons on. I thought buying it from Amazon I would have to do a complete set up when I got it. I have not had to put a single tool on this thing. It was even almost in tune when it arrived. Sounds so good I’m going to leave my $2000 jazz bass at the house for my next gig and I’m taking this! Great job Squier!

I've been eyeballing this bass for a while, as I've been lusting after a P bass with a maple neck and black block inlays (which is something that's generally not offered). I've heard other people say that the Squier Classic Vibe series is easily on par with more expensive instruments like the "Made in Mexico" Fenders (or better) and I have to believe that they're right. I've only had this a day, but I'm already in love, and I've had or have some very expensive and well made basses and guitars to compare with over the years. The neck feels very good and there's no fret ends sticking out anywhere. The hardware seems pretty good, as this is where companies save money on lower end stuff. The tuning gears seem to be really good, the pickups sound very good and the pots and jack seem decent (I'm a tinkerer and will likely change out the pots to some good CTS or Dunlop pots later). After a slight truss rod and string height adjustment I played it for a good hour to put it through the paces and I can definitely say it's a keeper. Sounds and plays great out of the box, but as with anything, a little tweaking of the setup will never hurt (I'll do intonation and a more thorough setup later). It's pretty light (which anyone that's played 4 hour gigs knows is a huge deal) and the finish on the body and neck is outstanding. The roasted maple neck looks stunning, and the body is very subtle, but the closer you look the better it looks. I'm well aware that it's just a veneer over a cheaper wood, but the whole "tone wood" thing has been tested and proven to largely be a none issue with electric instruments, as 99% of the tone comes from the pickups and amp/speaker choices. This is my second Squier, and I must say this ain't your uncle's cheap piece of crap from yesteryear. Bravo on a well made, well priced and exceptionally functional instrument. A workin' man's bass, if you will.

Squier hits it out of the park with this one. If you're wanting the Fender bass experience, but aren't' ready for the Fender price, you can't go wrong here. Every player who has seen and/or handled this instrument is wowed by the quality of construction as well as the attractive finish and design. The sound is what you'd expect from a bass 2-3 times the price. Was delivered set up properly, buzz-free, nicely intonated.

Excellent bass with a nice sound. Very easy to play and required minimal adjustment when it arrived to eliminate a bit of fret buzz. Looks the part too, with a nice retro styling. Make sure you get a good strap as it’s no lightweight.

Squier never ceases to amaze me with the quality of their guitars and the Classic Vibe Precision bass is no exception! It's rock solid with a WARM low end tone. Perfect for R&B (Sounds great when I played Motown, Isley Bros., etc.), blues, classic rock or pretty much anything. Its split-single coil pickup is simple yet punchy. The action of the strings is just right and mine came with D'addrio strings on it. It was ready to play. The vintage look is just pretty; black finish, glossy neck with block inlays, the vintage lettering on the headstock is a NICE touch. Overall, this is an awesome bass...great for beginners, amateurs, even pros. I highly recommend it!
