Squier Introduces Classic Vibe Precision Bass® '50s

June 27, 2008

(Click for a close-up)

When it comes to the early '50s Fender® Precision Bass®, the playing experience is unique both in terms of sound and feel. The larger neck and wider string spacing (1.65") promote strong pocket playing, with a warm, earthy tone that is supportive and inviting. With the new Squier® Classic Vibe '50s Precision Bass®, this unique voice can now be added to your bass arsenal at an amazing value. The beautiful Lake Placid Blue finish over a basswood body is an eye catcher for sure, while its custom 'original' single coil AlNiCo V pickup delivers that old school, '50s P Bass® tone. Open gear tuning machines sit atop a gloss 20 fret maple neck, both solid and stable. Modern refinements such as the flatter 9.5" radius and HiMass 4 saddle bridge make this bass more user friendly in terms of set up and playability. A winner with killer looks and a unqiue voice!
