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.

From Gear Setup

very good

It has a very nice sound to it, it's very punchy and funky almost in a sense. It's also great for the slapping technique.

An excellent bass

Great neck, great pickups. Plays extremely well. Versatile. Looks fantastic with the natural finish and maple fingerboard. The neck is bound which looks great.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

I love this bass.

Better than my first cheap Yamaha bass, this actually offers many tonal possibilities and it feels like I'm a god at bass whenever I play.

However, one slight issue I have is the intonation on the bass. The low E string has poor intonation, but this can always be fixed, of course. That being said, my bass was a floor model, it was NOT brand new. So of course, you can expect there to be minor things here and there from a used bass.

Sounds pretty good, it's pretty heavy

The Jazz bass is awesome I love it. But I don't know the weight is an issue for me. Overall is really comfortable to play. The tones u can get are really smooth or heavy depending of your style and genre.

Pleasantly surprised

While this bass isn't perfect (could definitely do with swapping out the stock pickups for something with a bit higher output) it's not bad for the money. I will probably end up selling it to get something a little bit better eventually, but for now it works great.

Amazing sound for its price!!

Everything on this bass is good, price and sound. And also have a bit more punch because of its 70s pickup

Amazing for the price

This bass is amazing, it feels great and sounds great. You could easily mistake for a Fender.

Absolutely brilliant

With this bass, you get so much for your money. The finish is great, as is the playability out of the box. Has a killer vintage tone to it as well
