Squier CV 70s Jazz Bass MN NAT 5-stars Reviews

Fine Bass

Thanks for a prompt delivery to Oslo. The Bass is better than I expected and has been used on 10 tracks since delivery...

Fantastic instrument

I am a complete beginner, I bought this bass with the intention to learn from the ground up. I play at home and don't plan to gig with it.

The bass looks stunning, sometimes I catch myself simply admiring it instead of playing. The neck feels very nice to play on, even as a beginner it's very playable.

I have no experience with other basses, but it might be interesting to point out: I find the instrument quite heavy, so I would definitely recommend using a good strap with it.

Excellent, wallet-friendly bass

I use this bass in my bedroom studio where it serves it's purpose very well. It's usually plugged into an audio interface and is then recorded into my DAW.

Sound:

Great sound is somewhat subjective, but it sounds really good to my ears. It definitely sounds like something more expensive. Vintage and modern sound alike, this one got you covered.

Playability:

Although great sounding, I wouldn't bother if I don't enjoy playing it. I only have satin necks (guitars) so I was a bit hesitant to go for a glossy neck, but it feels quite nice to play and the slim neck provides great reachability and comfort even in the lower register. The bass also nicely set-up when it arrived. It didn't have any fret buzz and the action was near perfect for my liking.

Build Quality

The build quality feels durable and solid. The plastic caps on the volume and tone knobs feel like cheap plastic, which they most likely are, but the knobs themselves turn effortlessly and smoothly.

Appearance

What can I say, this bass looks lovely. The body finish is a lot darker than I had expected, but maybe that's just this one in particular. It turned out great though, because I don't have a "tanned" headstock like the one in the pictures.

Value

It's a cheap bass that sounds great, plays great, feels great and looks absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend!
