I want a Bass VI

 

[Ostie]

Love the Daphne blue J and the Oly white P.

 

[Rallypoint_1]

Hope they are as good as the previous CV’s. But no 50’s CV with Tele neck? Come on now!!

 

[IPA]

Cool but boring

 

[selowitch]

The CV 60s Jazz Bass in Daphne Blue would look great with a mint pickguard, IMO.

PINE body????? What?

John Lennon didn’t have any problems using it as a bass...

The only songs John played Fender Bass VI on were Back in the USSR (one of the bass parts), Rocky Raccoon (one of the bass parts), Let it Be (bass part was later re-recorded by Paul), The Long and Winding Road (sadly, this bass part was not re-recorded by Paul).

The outtake (Take 17, as well as some studio chat from Beatles Rock Band) of Helter Skelter points to Paul playing his Fender Jazz Bass on the album version of the song. John did however play Fender Bass VI on early long 'slow' rehearsal takes of it.

On topic: is it me or these CV JB 60s and CV JB 70s have same pickup spacing (60s style)? So the 'style' is cosmetic only (inlays, binding, finish) apparently just like VM JB 70s in natural finish I have that has 60s pickup spacing?

They all claim to have "Period-correct headstock markings". What is that supposed to mean?

 

[Bufalo]

PINE body????? What?

CLASSIC VIBE PRECISION BASS® '50S

This is one of the old models that's been around for a while and is probably discontinued if it's even still available at all.

 

[kodiakblair]

PINE body????? What?

It's a wonderful thing The original Fender Telecaster guitars and Precision basses with their pine bodies always intrigued me.

The CV 50s got discontinued, year before last ?, so I built one over the holidays. Folks on the Telecaster forum told me the bodies were 1 3/4" thick so it has a serious slab body

 

[InstantEctobass]

Yes, the Daphne Blue 60s has a wrong pickup spacing, but the actual real model presented as NAMM is correct. Photography error or so. The 70s Jazz Bass is calling for me. That new SQUIER logo is yummyyyyy

 

[adube810]

pretty interested in the 70s jazz 5, I wonder if any will pop up around 9lb

 

[samurai1993]

That black 70s Jazz Bass. 6 years ago I would have loved that to pieces. The hell, 70s pickup spacing on the cheap can only mean good news. Put some pickups winded to the period (I'm thinking Fender Original Jazz Bass), an Omega Bridge (I don't know if a Badass II is easily obtainable right now) and let the inner Geddy flow.

 

[qwench]

Awesome...looks like the Jazz V is available in Black too...Fender site only shows the Natural version

Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jazz Bass V - Black

 

[PeaveyPlayer]

I know what I’m buying now

 

[Fender_Bender]

The link brings me to a general site with the only cv’s being old models.

 

[darkestsun]

I might have to pick up a bass vi, i have wanted one for a while and while im at it, i might get the 70's Strat in daphne blue. As it looks, some of the new CVs are really just re-branded VMs. On sweetwater there are 70s cv Jazz basses in natural, looks oddly like a 70s jazz bass from the VM series, there are other ones like this. I think the same thing is happening with the Mustang, thinline Tele, and the tele customs/deluxes.

 

[alack]

Remembering my new year's resolution, no-new-gear-year!
But just look at that P bass!

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.

 

[FishDub]

Damn...I was wondering when they would release a FRETTED Sunburst P..I may have to make some room for that..

 

[apolinario87]

some of the new CVs are really just re-branded VMs.

Rebranded VM models with awful fingerboard/fretboard wood.
