Squier Classic Vibe 2019
- Thread starter LkS
- Start date
i played a bass vi fender in the 60s at a music store several times. it was a guitar but not for true r n' r highs & the bass tones were like my 62 jag guitar dampened on the bridge by heal of my hand. by the way my first bass fender jazz bass purchased new in 62-3. it was a metallic deep blue w/matching headstock.Yeah, it's tuned E to E like a guitar. Personally I've never understood the attraction to these guitars for us bass players. Is the VI 'really ' a bass due to its E to E tuning?
Looks fabulous to say the least!
How does the sound compare to a "more recent" sort of P bass (60's, 70's, etc.) ?

Nice! Yes Squier classic vibes, to me, are just as good as some fenders too. I can't justify spending that much anymore!
REALLY excited for the new Classic Vibes this year! Factory change doesn't bother me, i think they will still pull off a wicked bass! Seriously, when Fender/Squier want to do well, they will do well. I really think that Squier want to set the bar higher with this updated line!
1: Black CV 70's jazz bass
2: Daphe blue CV 60s jazz bass
3: Natural CV 70's jazz bass V
4: Sunburst CV 60's precision bass
5: Seafoam green CV 70's Jaguar
6: Sunburst CV 50's stratocaster
7: White (or blonde?) CV 50's telecaster
This would be my collection. A whole range of guitars, at a fraction of the price!

I pre-ordered the Daphne Blue Jazz and the seller emailed to tell me that's when they'll get stock.
Ah cool, where from? I'm after the Jazz V, prices seem quite varied at the mo, anything from 340 to 400, not sure if these are preorder prices.
Anyone have a new 2019 CV Jazz yet? Im really curious to know if the necks still have that thick sticky yucky finish on them, or if they went back to satin
Are preorder prices often cheaper or more expensive than the normal in-stock price?
It does not say..... and checking online, the store has quite a few negative yelp review. Hum ..To buy directly or to preorder?? Bonjour

Is this usually the case, that preorders are cheaper than the normal in-stock price or not really?
I wouldn't bet on it! Only if there's some sort of special promotion to try and boost initial sales. IME cheaper prices tend to be on instruments that have hung around for a while and that the shop is trying to get rid of, not the brand new shiny ones...
edit: quoted wrong post, sorry
