Vintage Vibe, Modern Punch

Get ready to lay down the low end with some serious '70s swagger. The Squier Classic Vibe Active '70s Jazz Bass V brings the iconic look and feel of a golden era into the hands of today's players, adding a modern, active twist for ultimate tonal flexibility. That stunning Ocean Turquoise finish and bound maple neck with pearloid block inlays? Pure vintage gold. But plug it in, and you'll find a versatile beast ready for any stage or studio.

Fender-Designed Noiseless Power

Under the hood, this J-Bass is loaded with a pair of Fender-Designed Alnico Noiseless pickups. You get all the characteristic growl, punch, and articulation you expect from a great Jazz Bass, but without the 60-cycle hum that can plague single-coils. These pickups deliver a clear, articulate voice that can cut through a mix or sit perfectly in the pocket.

Active/Passive Versatility

Here's where it gets really fun. Squier included an active preamp with a simple mini-toggle to switch between classic passive mode and a modern active circuit. In passive mode, you've got that timeless, warm J-Bass tone. Flip the switch to active, and you engage a powerful treble and bass boost control, perfect for sculpting punchy slap tones, adding subterranean lows, or giving your sound some extra cut and aggression. It's like having two basses in one.

Built to Perform

The smooth, comfortable "C" shape maple neck with its tinted gloss finish just feels right. Combined with a modern 9.5-inch fingerboard radius and narrow-tall frets, it's a joy to play. Up top, the bone nut enhances resonance and sustain, while down below, the HiMass bridge provides rock-solid tuning stability and a noticeable increase in punch and body. This bass isn't just about looks; it's a serious player's instrument.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
