Fender and Squier Bass

The sounds that create legends. Since its birth in the early ’50s, the Fender Precision Bass guitar has remained the ubiquitous standard for thick tone and smooth playability. Upgraded for 2009, our Standard Precision Bass incorporates the best of the old and new, offering a modern single-coil pickup, shielded body cavitiy, medium jumbo frets, a vintage-style Fender Bridge, tinted neck (now available with a maple fretboard),three-ply parchment pickguard and a ’70s-era logo. The Standard Precision Bass—plug one in and listen for yourself. Standard gig bag included.

The Classic Vibe Precision Bass ’60s delivers the true Precision Bass experience. Huge tone roars from its traditional split-single-coil pickup. The contoured basswood body, finished in Sonic Blue, is familiar and comfortable, and the vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has 20 vintage-style frets and a modern 9.5” radius.

Is “funkify” a word? It is now, baby, thanks to Squier’s retro-inspired Vintage Modified Jazz Bass guitar!

This handsome natural-finish left-handed bass features a soft maple body and one-piece maple neck with sharp-looking black binding and block inlays on the 20-fret maple fingerboard. That soulful sound emanates from a pair of single-coil Duncan Designed™ Jazz Bass pickups; other features include chrome hardware and machine heads, a three-ply pickguard and a four-saddle chrome bridge.

The James Johnston Jazz Bass guitar puts the Biffy Clyro bassist's own personal touch on a Squier Classic Vibe series instrument. Based on Johnston's Fender U.S.A. Jazz Bass, features include a Lake Placid Blue finish on a basswood body, vintage-tint gloss-maple neck with matching painted headcap, Johnston's signature on the back of the headstock and Biffy Clyro logo on the front, three-ply mint green pickguard, vintage-style chrome control plate, two custom single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, black control knobs and a high-mass bridge with brass barrel saddles.

Squier’s Classic Vibe Jazz Bass ’60s has all of the “deluxe” elements its Fender® big brother had when it was introduced in the 1960s—a groovy offset waist, a narrow fast-action maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, two custom single-coil pickups, individual volume controls that let players “solo’ either pickup or blend them, and a master tone control for overall sound shaping. The look is pure Fender—a classic Olympic White finish on a basswood body with a tortoiseshell pickguard, thumbrest and “HiMass” bridge with brass barrel saddles. The vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets and a modern 9.5” radius. Tonal versatility and clarity with a quick, punchy up-front sound.
