Summary: First introduced in 1960, the Jazz Bass has withstood the test of time to become one of the most played and recorded instruments in modern music history. As round wound strings and brighter bass sounds became popular in the 1970s, a number of modifications were made to the J Bass to accommodate the changing tastes in music production; most notably, maple fingerboards and a back pickup moved closer to the bridge. The Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Jazz Bass captures this funky vibe with the classic J Bass offset-waist body, fast-action neck, and dual single-coil pickups.
