5.0 out of 5 stars Did I get a Diamond in the Rough?
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2023
I bought this "Used-Very Good" for $300.

That was not a very good description. When I pulled it out of the box, my jaw dropped. This thing is MINT! Not a blemish on it. The body wood is perfect. The neck is straight and true. The action is fantastic. And, it still had the plastic coverings on the pickguard, pickups, control plate, and tuners, and all the tags, including the factory tag. The one thing I found was a speck of polishing compound.

Tuned it up and tried it out. It's not what I expected. It's better. Even though I haven't plugged it in yet, playing it revealed you can get nice, round bass tones, or a sharp slap sound. The action is good. The fit and finish on this one is fantastic. No mismatched wood, no frets needing filing, and the tuning pegs are nice and crisp. And the body is NOT light as some have mentioned. It's downright heavy! It rivals the weight of my 1969 Dan Armstrong!

If I didn't know better, I'd swear I had a late 60's/early 70's Jazz Bass. I had an older friend who had one, and let me play it, and it certainly feels the same and plays the same.

I thank the seller for sending me such a magnificent musical instrument. it is second only to my original Dan Armstrong. I have a 1992 P-Bass lyte as well, and I play it all the time, but this bass has been placed above it.
I'll admit, the P-Bass Lyte is easier to play, but the sheer pinache of this piece outshines it. Always wanted an all-maple Fender. And, this FEELS and plays like a Fender.

I've played other Squier basses. Some were OK, some were really good. This is the best one yet.

And it only took 52 years. Am I gushing? I must be in love.

Maybe I got a gem.

EDIT: I finally brought it to a rehearsal. I got a Crossrock case for it and dragged it down there. I plugged it into my Behring BX4500 with a Peavey 1820 cabinet and we started playing. After the 3rd song the guys were commenting how good it sounded. Classic Fender Jazz Bass. My other basses have narrower necks, and the first few songs were tough, but I didn't have to switch. They couldn't believe what I paid for it.

The Crossrock Tweed bass case fit so well it was like it was made for it. Perfect fit, no slopping around inside.

I am quite well pleased with both.

Nice squire bass designed by fender made in China or Indonesia. The first one shipped was made in Indonesia, had a small crack in the neck pocket. Nothing major but I still asked fender what to do. They ask me to return it and did send me a new bass made China. The replacement is significantly better made compared to the one from Indonesia. Fret work was excellent. Still needed to get it setup by a luthier. Intonation, action, truss rod and pickup spacing needed some adjustment.

5.0 out of 5 stars This bass is bad a**!
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2022
I bought this bass during one of Fender's seasonal sales and was able to get it here (on Amazon) EVEN CHEAPER than all the other stores ("G" Center, Aust'n, etc.) that were also honoring the sale!

I bought a Squire Affinity Telecaster for myself last Xmas which I am verrrry happy with, but it's quality is definitely not on the same level as this Classic Vibe! On the Affinity Tele, I did find a few sharp frets that needed a little filing — not so on this Classic Vibe! On the Affinity Tele, the body is a little thinner than on the real Fender Teles — not so on the Classic Vibe Bass the fit and finish are all top notch!

About three months before I copped this Classic Vibe Bass, I bought a used Affinity P Bass from Craigslist which I would rate as "way okay". It has some of the same (production cost) shortcomings as the Affinity Telecaster with the thinner body and synthetic nut.

I'm not saying that the Affinity guitars suck or anything — they both are very nice instruments — just when compared to the Classic Vibe…

…I'm just sayin'!

5.0 out of 5 stars By going with Squier I had money left over to upgrade beyond the standard Fender
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2024
I tried every pricey Jazz Bass with the Fender logo on the headstock that I could try and they exhibited the same 'uncertainties' in sound and playability as the Fender authorized knock-offs such as Squire. The Squires in the stores didn't have this incredible finish and design, so I took a chance ordering this one. The savings enabled me to upgrade the bridge to a Hipshot and the pickups to Fender Pure Vintage '74. Then a quarter turn of the truss rod and Wow. Now it's my primary instrument and since it's not a $2,500 instrument I get to add my own personalized decorative embellishments without destroying resale value.
