Squier Classic Vibe Fretless

Hi Doc
I like Squiers but it looks too "clownburst vibe" to me!
Or their photo is really bad.

I don’t see the problem but we are entitled to our tastes.
It’s actually much classier in person. I have the fretted version and it’s my most aesthetically pleasing bass. For what it costs, it’s only real flaw is that it isn’t a P bassHi Doc

Here, here...
I also looked into the Indian Laurel fingerboard - the Janka hardness scale puts it in between Pau Ferro and Ebony. Should be a tough, yet warm-sounding fretless. I’d love to check it out.
Between Pau Ferro and Ebony sounds very good! This bass is really sounding interesting.

I just clicked the link you posted. Chuck Levins is sort of near me...I wonder if they have it in stock or they just offer it and needs to be ordered...
Is clownburst good or bad. I've never heard the term until now. A quick search brought me to a plethora of Les Paul forums. I guess it's more common there.
My guess is that using poplar saved money. Poplar is good wood; many of the old USA Peavey Basses were made of poplar.
Roscoe has been using poplar for some of their Classic series basses, which are wonderful instruments.
It's always hard to get a real idea of the overall quality of a bass from a picture but if it's anywhere as good as the jazz in Daphne blue I recently acquired or the 60's P in Olympic White I played, this will be a hit.
The earlier CV series MIC were a game changer for Squier. I feel the new Indonesian series has even more going for it.
Vintage bridge with threaded saddles
Alnico V pickups.
I obviously can't speak for every instrument made but mine has perfect fretwork and the fretboard edges have a nice mellow roll to them.
My 2018 player series didn't have that although still a good instrument
I found my Squier CV jazz bass for $375 cdn...fantastic price..

I bought an Ibanez guitar in 1991 that was most likely poplar - very light weight but almost no grain pattern; used mostly under solid color finishes. That guitar cost me over $800 if I remember correctly. Spent my entire savings from a whole summer of washing dishes in a commercial kitchen...
Ibanez uses Poplar Burl as the top for the Cerro single-cuts.

You sound like me washing dishes during the summer 1978 to pay $445 for a brand new Rickenbacker 4000.

Man...I was totally happy with my life, then you had to go and let me know they make a Daphne Blue jazz now
If you able try it at GC, you will notice the colour of the fretboard nothing like the one shown on Fender wedsite which more yellowish.
It is dull-grey like dead woody near the beach.
