This vintage-styled four-string bass guitar is a tribute to the 1970s evolution of the legendary Fender Precision Bass. It embodies the classic aesthetics of the original while producing bold tone courtesy of its Fender-designed alnico split-coil pickup. Musicians will appreciate its slim, comfortable C-shaped neck and 9.5" radius fretboard, allowing fast, fluid playing. The vintage-style bridge with slotted barrel saddles provides rock-solid intonation. This retro Squier bass also features 1970s-inspired headstock markings, gleaming nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

Iconic Styling and Powerful Pickup

The Classic Vibe '70s Precision Bass authentically captures the appearance of its 1970s original, with a contoured, walnut body, black pickguard and block inlays. Its Fender-designed alnico split-coil pickup packs a mighty punch, delivering rumbling lows, powerful mids and crisp highs. Volume and tone controls allow shaping your sound.

Fast, Comfortable Neck

This Squier bass's maple neck has a slim C-shaped profile and 9.5" radius fretboard for a familiar, effortless feel. Narrow-tall frets make it easy to articulate notes. The bone nut enhances tone and tuning stability.

Road-Ready and Retro

With its durable satin polyurethane finish, the Classic Vibe '70s Precision Bass guitar is ready to take the stage. It includes a vintage-style bridge with threaded saddles for solid intonation. 1970s-inspired features include a 3-ply black pickguard, nickel-plated tuners and strap buttons, and a '70s-era headstock logo. Available here at Guitar Center, the Squier Classic Vibe '70s Precision Bass can be yours today.

    I got it about a week ago, an employee pointed it out when I mentioned I wanted to get a bass. It plays really nice, I love the color, and it sounds great too! There's a little bit of fret buzz but I'm like... 90% sure that's from my own playing.

  • Great Bass

    I had bought the black version of this last year and loved it, so I bought the walnut one also last week as a spare. Same right out of the box quality and set up. It's just stupid to spend more on a bass when you can get this quality at a low price. The only thing I wasn't happy about was the color. Much darker than shown and has a tint of red.

    I ordered this bass because of its low price, thinking it would need an intensive setup and all that. Like most basses I pick up in the store, I figured it would have a ton of fret buzz and all that. I literally did a slight raise of the action and this thing sounded amazing right out of the box. No fret buzz, excellent low tone and middle tone. Sounds better than a lot of other higher-dollar basses I've tried out recently. Strongly recommended.

    fromkurt

    I like everything about it, but the neck I Keep trying to straightened it out but it its too thin to support the string tension. I ordered a new neck from fender to replace this neck. A made in Mexico 70s precision neck which looks identical, but is structurally more sound.

    Do the pickups on this bass provide a clean signal or is there some distortion?

    Do the pickups on this bass provide a clean signal or is there some distortion?

    Open Reply - Ronald
    They are very clean especially for the price point. You may run into distortion if you crank the volume on the bass itself, but you can negate that by rolling off the volume on the bass itself and using the volume on the amp.
