General

This bass guitar from Squier's Classic Vibe Series is a budget-friendly version of Fender's first bass guitars from the 1950s. This Classic Vibe Precision Bass '50s has the same characteristic looks as the original, including a Tele-style headstock and a white pickguard covering both horns. For even more convincing Fifties-style, this edition is given a classic finish that's transparent enough to reveal the beautiful grain of its pine wood body. In short, it's an excellently affordable bass for lovers of vintage instruments.

The Classic Vibe 50s Precision Bass: Sound and Finish

Typical for this old-school P-Bass is the single-coil pickup in the mid position. The slightly lower output of this pickup combines with the pine body and maple neck to produce a full yet mostly bright, clean sound. The hardware consists of vintage-style machine heads and a matching bridge with four adjustable saddles, and there's a finger rest below the G-string to finish what is a historically-accurate bass guitar.

Squier and the Classic Vibe Series

The most famous Fender models are the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass. While many other manufacturers have built quite a few imitations over the past decades, Fender wanted to be able to offer beginners an affordable alternative themselves and back in 1982, introduced daughter company, Squire. Ever since, Squier guitars and bass guitars have been built to Fender specifications and under the supervision of Fender themselves. The Classic Vibe models are part of a well-loved Squier Series based on vintage Fender designs, and each of these outstandingly-finished instruments delivers impressive sound for a remarkably sharp price.

Une basse juste parfaite, avec des finitions et une ergonomie vraiment à la hauteur. Cette Squier Precision Bass CV 50 vaut vraiment le coup. Et sans oublié le plus important, le son. Qui est pour moi vraiment au top 👌.
Prochaine acquisition, ça sera une Squier Precision Bass CV 70 👌.

Ik heb 'm sinds een paar weken, naast een passieve - en een actieve Fender Precision. Heeft de actieve meer de hals van een Jazz bass, de Squier heeft een hals die weer wat dikker en ronder is dan bij de passieve Precision. Het is even wennen aan hhet gevoel,, maar inmiddels zijn we dikke maatjes :-). Ik heb de bas laten voorzien van Dunlop flatwounds om wat meer die vintage sound te benadrukken. En dat lukt zo prima. De bas is ook mooi uitgebalanceerd (wat ik met een eerdere Squier Precision PJ VM wel anders heb meegemaakt). Deze Classic Vibe is voor mij een blijvertje en z'n dubbel en dwars waard!.
