Awesome bass and badass deal, thanks Iconian

My last classic vibe 70's was their jazz, I bought it after seeing it in the muscle shoals documentary — hanging in the studio and being used on tracks. Good enough for Fame Studios, good enough for me Smilie

Still, a fun little platform to mod on, especially at these prices. Got her plek'd, heavyweight Gotoh bridge, new tuners, and EMG-X pickups… threw my 45-105 of Dean Markley Blue Steel on her and she's a treat to play.

Really dig Squier's Classic Vibe 70's basses… I have $7-8k Spectors, Elricks, Ball Family Reserve basses etc. but these things punch way above their weight and would rock these on stage and studio any day. Thanks again for keeping the bass players in the goods Iconian Smilie

Ps on a side note for bass players or those wanting to learn and pick up the instrument — if you miss this deal, the Indio Jazz Bass from Monoprice is fantastic too, I got no sharp frets, nice neck, great setup, strings and pickups plus the padded bag. Gotta dig it

If you ever thought about playing bass, this is the deal to get. At this price, you're always going to get your money back if you ever decide to sell. But this is such a solid instrument it can be passed down to younger players forever. And it doesn't need any upgrades out of the box. Very slick

Never buy an Indio when a Squier version exists. Indio are garbage and have no meaningful warranty and no world of parts that fit them. Squier as fully backed by Fender with a meaningful warranty, a world of parts that fit them, and a worldwide network of authorized dealers. And their quality is on par with the MIM offerings.

Also, the Classic Vibe does NOT need new tuners, new pickups, or a needlessly overweight bridge that does absolutely nothing for tone or sustain (this has been proven). It's just throwing away money to not leave a Classic Vibe stock.

As for this deal, it is amazing. I bought the Late 60s Classic Vibe Jazz Bass last year direct from Fender for $239, and it is a better bass and certainly better looking. But this is a great price for an overweight P-Bass.

was hoping other CV guitars might be on sale but can't find anything. oddly enough when browsing the site this guitar shows at full price. great deal though I'd get one if I didn't already have one!

Squier Classic Vibes are excellent basses and will carry a player from beginner through intermediate gigging. Thumbs up on this awesome deal.

I've played this bass for two years and it's my daily player. Had American fender basses, and still prefer this. Be aware it has a glossy fretboard (as opposed to satin), that some may not like.
