Product Description
The Squier FSR Classic Vibe Active 70s Jazz Bass in Candy Apple Red blends iconic 1970s Jazz Bass styling with a powerful modern active circuit. With Fender Designed alnico Noiseless pickups, a flexible active/passive preamp and a rock-solid HiMass bridge, it delivers everything from vintage funk thump to contemporary clarity, all wrapped up in a striking, bound-and-block look.
Whether you are chasing slick disco lines, tight modern pop tones or articulate fusion runs, this bass gives you the feel and sound of a classic 70s Jazz with the added benefit of studio-ready, hum-free performance. The comfortable C-shaped maple neck, vintage-tinted gloss finish and matching headstock complete a bass that looks as good under stage lights as it sounds in the mix.
Vintage 70s Style with a Modern Twist
The Classic Vibe Active 70s Jazz Bass takes its cues from the instruments that defined an era of groove. A matching painted headstock, bound Indian laurel fingerboard and pearloid block inlays capture that unmistakable 70s aesthetic. The gloss polyurethane Candy Apple Red finish and vintage-tinted neck give it a premium, old-school vibe that stands out on stage and in the studio.
Active Power with Passive Simplicity
At the heart of this model is a 9-volt active preamp offering master volume, pickup pan, master tone and stacked treble/bass boost controls. A mini toggle lets you switch instantly between active and passive modes, so you can go from classic Jazz Bass character to modern, sculpted tones in seconds. If you want one bass that can cover a whole set without breaking a sweat, this flexible electronics package has you covered.
Fender Designed Noiseless Pickups
A pair of Fender Designed alnico Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups deliver the punch, articulation and midrange growl you expect from a J Bass, while keeping your signal hum-free. Whether you are digging in with a pick, playing fingerstyle or slapping, these pickups stay clear and focused, making them ideal for live work and recording where low noise is essential.
Stable Hardware and Comfortable Playability
The HiMass bridge enhances sustain and resonance, helping every note ring out with authority. Vintage-style tuners provide reliable tuning stability, while the 34 inch scale, 9.5 inch fingerboard radius and narrow tall frets offer a familiar, comfortable feel for a wide range of playing styles. From first rehearsal to late-night sessions, this bass is built to play smoothly and consistently.
Features
- Fender Designed Alnico Noiseless Pickups - Enjoy classic Jazz Bass tone without the hum. These alnico Noiseless pickups deliver punchy lows, clear highs and defined mids, making them ideal for clean, modern bass sounds and noise-sensitive studio environments.
- Versatile Active/Passive 9V Preamp - The onboard preamp with volume, pan, tone and treble/bass boost gives you precise control over your sound. Switch between active and passive at the flick of a mini toggle to move from traditional J Bass character to powerful, sculpted modern tones.
- HiMass Bridge for Sustain and Resonance - The HiMass bridge adds extra mass at the point where the strings meet the body, enhancing sustain, note definition and overall resonance. It helps your lines sit firmly in the mix with a strong, confident low end.
- Authentic 70s Aesthetic - A matching painted headstock, bound Indian laurel fingerboard and pearloid block inlays capture the look of sought-after 70s Jazz Basses. Combined with the vintage-tinted gloss neck and Candy Apple Red finish, this bass has serious retro stage presence.
