Squier Classic Vibe '60s P Bass

The Squier Classic Vibe '60s Precision Bass gives you a powerful 1960s-style instrument that nails the instrument's look and feel from that musically fertile era. A Fender-designed alnico split single-coil pickup serves up classic, fat and punchy P Bass tone, while a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge supplies rock-solid intonation. With all its vintage goodness and modern touches, the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Precision Bass is one of the hottest bass values at Sweetwater. We're sure you'll agree.

Legendary fat, punchy tone

There's nothing like the fat, punchy sound of a P Bass split single-coil pickup — it sits in a track like nobody's business. To say the P Bass is an industry standard is not an exaggeration: In the '60s and '70s, electric bass parts on session charts used to simply be labeled "Fender" — and that meant Precision. Motown even standardized on the Precision Bass for all their recording sessions. From James Jamerson to Pino Palladino, bassists from all genres have embraced the Precision Bass, and it continues to be a favorite in the studio and on stages everywhere.

Shaped for comfort and performance

One of the things that made the P Bass an instant hit with working bass players was its comfortable contoured body shape. Perfectly balanced whether playing standing or seated, the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Precision Bass will make those marathon playing sessions much more comfortable. Its C-profile neck satisfyingly fills out your hand and always feels just right — another reason why the Precision is the choice of bassists the world over.

Timeless P Bass design

Leo Fender brought us the Precision Bass back in the 1950s, and its classic body shape and comfortable neck continue to give today's Squier Classic Vibe '60s version excellent playability and a distinctive look. As with so many of his original designs, Leo nailed the essence of a great instrument right from the start. And over a half century later, the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Precision Bass still sets the affordable standard in electric bass guitars.

  • Poplar body, gloss polyurethane finish
  • Maple neck, C profile, 34" scale length
  • Indian laurel fingerboard, 9.5" radius, 20 Narrow Tall frets, dot inlays

Love It!

Always a guitarist, always wanted to try the bass. Great instrument for the transition. No concerns and it feels amazing. Beautiful. And now I can learn all that James Jamerson I've been digging for years.

Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision Bass

I was very satisfied with the condition and quality of the product upon arrival. I did not have to do anything to it or make any kind of adjustments. The intonation and everything was spot on.
I believe Sweetwater does an excellent job of taking care of the quality of their instruments and ensuring complete satisfaction. I will continue to order from them.
Thank you so much!

Motown is in its heart

I love this bass. This was my first Precision Bass. I have had it a few months and have had no issues. It sounds great. I left the 7250 rounds it came with. They sound so good are very functional for all styles of music on this P bass.

The neck is easy to play and the fret work is good. I feel no issues with sharp ends. The pickup is expressive. I am very happy with it. I also have a new professional ii P bass with labella 760fl strings. This Squier complements the professional ii, well. Having one with rounds and one with flats works well.

I love the neck on the professional ii but I don't see the Squier as less playable. It's just different.

If you want a precision bass and don't want to spend a ton, I think you will be happy with this.
Rated 5/5

Great bass.

Last year I was looking for a bass. I checked a lot of Fender Precision MIM and some Usa, some USA jaguar. I didnt really liked anyone of them.
The last shop I went somebody told me: why dont you try a Squier?
I was skeptical, if a Usa made preci dont like me, why a bass that costs less then an half should?
I tried and after the third o forth note I played I did understood that I've had found my bass.
As far as I can understand (i play guitar) is better than mexican and also than America performer.
I'm very glad I've bought it.
Last thing I say: of all the basses I tried last year my squier was the only perfectly in tune.
Rated 5/5

Definitely worth the price

I occasionally fill in on bass on a worship team. I primarily play acoustic or electric.
I've had a jazz bass for a while but wanted that P bass tone for worship.
Purchased this bass, got it home, plugged it in and was totally pleased.
The action was good, tone was great, intonation was spot on, finish was outstanding
Looking for a great bass for a great price. . Get this
