Squier Classic Vibe 2019

[InstantEctobass]

Stop it guys with your CV collections, my bank account can't hold up, please I struggle to find a 60s P or a Matt Freeman here

Don't really think this Invalid Link Removed can be played as a bass guitar.

Jack Bruce did Fresh Cream with a Bass VI.

I have owned upmteen Fenders over the decades but two of the best were a Squier VM Fretless and my current VM Active IV, which I'm in the process of turning 'stealth'. I love the ebonol board and the active circuit. For £250, it worth treble that, easily.

Is it just me or does anyone else always find that links to any fender product pages just redirect to the home page? I can't view any of the posted links. Maybe it's a regional thing? I am in Canada so not sure if it is redirecting to the home page because the link is to Fender's US website.

Yes is regional. But I just found out that if you scroll to the very very bottom of the website, there's a "Change your region:" small link with the automatically detected country also displayed. You can set it to United States and view the whole model line.

My colleagues from work returned from NAMM and they say it's pretty much a rebranded VM, pure and simple. So, I expect the same QC as VM series. Too bad, CV was better IMO.

Yeah, it’s disappointing. I have a VM as well as a CV, while the VM is a decent bass, it’s not in the same league as the CV.

Happy I just picked up this 2009 CV60's J for $150. It's a keeper for sure. In no way inferior to my other two basses...2008 American Standard P, 2017 MIM Classic 50's Lacquer P.

Me too! Except the delivery guy managed to attempt delivery at the wrong address, so now I have to pick it up from their depot. I paid a little more, but it's a 2013 model. Looking forward to it!

The 60´s P bass looks really nice! But I have never held a "slim C" P bass neck in ny hand...how skinny is it? Like a jazz bass in depth? I generally don't like skinny necks.

Exactly same depth as a Jazz but with 42mm width at the nut point.

Not sure if it's been mentioned in this thread yet, but Chicago Music Exchange has some listed for pre-order on Reverb with an estimated ship date of April 16th. Just an FYI...

Oh boy oh boy!!

I saw the player precision was 41.3mm nut. Not huge, but interesting the squier is a bit wider.

Yes, it's never exactly the same, I've seen some necks being with a 43mm neck width, but I think that 41,3 is nicer to my small hands
CNC'd necks will keep the same width, whereas the handmade ones will have slight variations, I guess?

I'm gassing for the 70s Jazz in black and maple, swap out the bridge for a Badd Ass, what do you think??

Doing the same with the natural finish. If some day I'm bored with the natural finish, I'll give it a paintjob

Sounds like a plan! Go get yer Geddy on!

I don’t know now? That 60s Jazz in black is pulling my Chains too!!

As I mentioned in that thread, I'm hopeful the 2019 range turn out to be nice players, the Daphne Blue jazz is causing GAS...
