Squier Classic Vibe Active '70s Jazz Bass in Ocean Turquoise

The Squier Classic Vibe Active '70s Jazz Bass is a modern interpretation of the iconic bass guitars that defined funk and rock tones during the 1970s. It combines vintage aesthetic details with contemporary electronics, offering players a versatile instrument suitable for various musical styles. The design includes classic Jazz Bass body contours, a bound maple fingerboard with block inlays, and nickel-plated hardware that provides both visual appeal and functional durability. At its core, the bass features a pair of Fender Designed Alnico Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups, which deliver the characteristic punch and clarity associated with this model while eliminating unwanted hum. These are paired with an onboard 9-volt preamp system that includes controls for volume, pickup blend, treble and bass boost, plus a master tone control. A two-position mini-toggle switch allows instant shifting between active and passive operation, giving players extensive tonal shaping options without needing external pedals or processors. The HiMass bridge enhances sustain and resonance, while the vintage-tinted gloss finish on the maple neck ensures comfortable playability. This instrument is well-suited for intermediate players seeking a reliable and versatile bass with authentic vintage looks. The active/passive flexibility makes it adaptable for studio recording, live performances, or home practice sessions across genres from funk and soul to rock and pop. Its poplar body provides a balanced weight for extended playing sessions, and the overall construction offers solid value for musicians wanting classic Fender-inspired design with modern performance features.
