One of the best Bang For The Buck Bass Guitar
I'm a multi style bassist playing in jam session, jazz band, funk band and Rn'B / Soul bands. I was playing for years on a Warwick Corvette Standard Bunbinga / Ash and was searching for a cheap second choice bass to play in the street and in parks with friends. It's why I com to buy my first Squier CV70's Jazz Bass. When I bought it, I stopped playing the Warwick. The neck is fast and confortable at a point that it make it hard to love any other neck for me. At some point, I sold the Warwick and decide to by the American Fender version of the Squier. I also sold the squier. But years after years it appeared to me that I was missing my Squier. I finally sold the American JB to buy a Squier CV70's JB again. This bass is not perfect. It has some flaws that are common to cheap basses : - The varnish and finishes are poor. The bass will wear out rapidly. I mine, mine as a "relic" neck although I only have it since 3 years. - The electronics and pickup are poor (even for the Duncan Design version). - As the neck is design to be thinner than american JazzBass, it's easier to play but faster to unset. For those flaws I only put 4 out of 5 stars.
On mine, I juste change pickup and electronics for American Custom Shop Pickups and home made electronics. It now sounds like my American Fender, without the name. And it's ok for me.
