The only issue with classic vibe basses is that you really need to own all of them
Darn- you beat me to it: word for ford! LOL
I got the 70s Jazz V and I couldn't be more impressed for the price tag, I'm already eyeing that 70s Precision next
Just got my 2nd cv 70 j 8.2 my 1st cv 70 p walnut. J in a burst. Difference between 60 and 70 is looks

@@charleschamberlain53 I ended up getting a 40th Anniversary P Bass in Lake Plaic Blue, and it's even better then my Classic Vibes. It's a phenomenal bass for $599
I always get this question too! I've never played the 70s one though. Love my 60s, for me a nice rich low end is most important, you can always add more treble or presence where needed 👌
For sure! I'd rather add treble than bass - You can't add what's not there, and with the 70s that low fundamental really isn't there to boost! T
@@TylerSpicer how would you compare the sound of the CV 60s to that of the Squier CV Jaguar?
how would you compare the sound of the CV 60s to that of the Squier CV Jaguar?
I don't agree with you, the Squier CV 70's has more punch, and with good equalization you can add medium bass or deep bass, the Alnico pickup is what makes the difference, and the body makes the sustain...@@TylerSpicer
excellent comparision, the best on YT about these basses and of the best overall that I've seen ever. the difference in wood was an excellent point that often goes unmentioned.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support! I’m a big believer in tone-woods, despite what some online sources say... Again, thank you for the kindness! T
Hi Tyler: it's been awhile since I commented. I do watch all your videos religiously every week. On this video, for me the 70's CV P bass sounded more punching and brighter then the 60's CV P bass. I know many things can affect sound, like string type, string gage, type of woods, type of pick ups. I do like the 60s version, but it did sound darker and muddy as compared to the 70s. If I had to choose I would pick the 70s one. But they are both great really. On another note: for Christmas my wife bought me the 60th anniversary Fender Jazz bass (made in America one) in the Arctic Pearl white finish with matching headstock. It was a limited run production and are no longer taking order for it for 2021. Dude, it is GORGEOUS!! It has the Ash body and rosewood fingerboard, with two 1962 voiced pick ups and stacked concentric knobs for separate volume and tone control. It plays like a dream and sounds incredible. Cheers! Patrick.
Hey Patrick! Thank you so much for tuning in so regularly! Definitely a dark bass that 60s, but sometimes that's what I love from a P - all that low-mid thickness! I think Laurel is a little less articulate than rosewood which really does make it a dark bass. The 70s really does punch through very clearly and growl a little. That sounds like one amazing bass! So many features I would have gone for too, particularly those stacked knobs and pickups! I've always thought ash/rosewood Jazzes sound more interesting than the typical Ash+Maple combo too. Enjoy that bass my man, it sounds killer., and thank you for watching once again! T
Excellent comparison, Tyler. Your analyses covered important areas that many overlook. For me, it’s the 60’s all the way...I like that vintage
P-Bass depth. I’ve played a Hammond B-3 organ for 40-yrs, mainly in a Pentecostal church style settings so I’m accustomed to the drums and bass carrying a heavy load...not so much fill but holding the groove, keeping the melody full & in some cases leading us where we need to go. Thanks. Be well.
Thank you for this video! I was planning on getting the CV '60s Precision but, after watching this video, I think that the CV '70s would be better suited to what I want to play. I will be playing mostly goth/post-punk stuff (think The Cure, Joy Division, etc.) and would definitely want more of an attack sound as I'll be playing with a pick with a touch of overdrive, and some chorus and reverb. The CV '60s sounds great, but I think the CV '70s will have more of the sound that I'm looking for. Also, I have smaller hands, so the slimmer neck on the CV '70s would be much better for me. I'm very glad that you mentioned that! Thanks SO much! You may have just saved me from buying the wrong bass! Subscribed!! Cheers!
did you buy it ? Do you like it ?
@@MrBeen992 I actually ended up getting a Yamaha BB234. The neck is slim, and the nut is only 1.575" wide which is much narrower than the CV '60s or '70s. It sounds great (and looks cool) and I can really get some excellent Peter Hook / Simon Gallup sounds from it. Hooky has played Yamaha BB basses for decades, so that inspired me to check them out. It's a lower end Yamaha, but even those are amazing quality. And the BB234 is quite a bit cheaper than the Squier CV '60s and '70s basses.
@@creepshow69 cool, I love that sound
Thanks for this mate. You clearly put loads of effort into your vids, as well as responding to comments. Impressive playing too!
Thanks Mark! I really appreciate it! Thank you for watching and the kindness! T
THE BEST REVIEW OF THESE BASSES ON YT! Thank you Tyler for your time and energy ! Subscribed
Just bought a 60’s P a few hours ago. They had both on hand (along with an American made high end Fender) and after playing all 3, I went with the CV 60. I just couldn’t hear $2000 worth of difference in the US made P bass and the 70’s was just too bright for my taste. I can ramp up the brightness on my 60’s but there’s nothing you can do to boost the low end on the 70’s bass once you get to a certain point.
One of the things I appreciate about your videos is that you play real bass lines in the classic styles across the instruments range. They sound like they both cam w/ the stock fender 7250 rw strings, which I like, and using the same strings in a comparison is paramount. To me the simple take-away was the 60's is warmer, w/ a nice low mid attack while the 70's is crisper with a higher mid and crisper attack, laurel (rosewood) vs maple, thick vs thin neck, much like their big brothers.
Hello everyone! I just bought the squier bass precision cv 60's in olympic white (which is even more beautiful in the hands) and I can only say that it sounds incredible!!!! I tried it on a hartke HA3500 and that low end is massive. I just subscribed to your channel, it just helped me a lot to finish deciding on one model or another. THANK YOU!
Darn it! I was leaning toward the CV 60's. But, now after watching your video I will have to buy both! Great comparison as always.Thanks
Hahaha! Thank you! I’d still go 60s first 😉 Very different flavours though, that can’t be denied! T
It probably doesn’t really matter. In a song mix either bass can sound the same….especially with equalizers. But ultimately choose the bass with the neck that feels comfortable to you.
I bought my CV 70's Precision Bass last year, in 2020.
I had the shop guy put in the Fender Pure Vintage 64 precision bass pickup and Flatwound strings.
It's my main Bass now. 🎸💕😀
70s is my flavor, I prefer the more mid focused sound. Nice video!
A bass I love to see is the Fender Nate Mendel Precision Bass. It’s so cool
It's a cool looking bass for sure! It never quite did it for me tonally with the quarter pounder, and I didn't love the jazz bass profile of the neck. It's a great look and a great bass for many though, I could totally see that!
I play more aggressive punk and was having trouble deciding, so thanks for mentioning that, I will definitely go for the 70's one
No problem at all! I think it suits those styles a lot better! T
Hey guy that was a great review! I once had a 70’s P bass and I didn’t like it but I couldn’t take it back so I changed the pickup’s to a set of Seymour Duncan quarter pounder’s and I still didn’t like the sound so I sold it. The guy that bought the bass was on the fence when he tried it out and after about an hour he decided he would buy it. I wonder if that guy still has the bass? Well you are very knowledgeable in all of the different spec’s. Your are a bit more knowledgeable than many other people who do these reviews. Kudos my friend.
I didn't realize that the necks are so different. That's good to know.
They really are! Glad to be helping! T
I'm buying bass at the very moment. You made my decision easier. Going to buy white 60's one. Thanks for the video 👍
No problem at all! That’s great to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! Let me know how it goes with your white 60s when you’ve got it. T
I've had the 70's Classic Vibe, P-Bass think I'm ready to give the 60's a try. Good review.
I have a squier classic vibe 70's precision bass with a K.S.M bridge and a quarter pounder pickup in it 😅
Thanks for posting this video, i was thinking of getting the 70's for the looks but i prefer a thicker neck and big, warm and bassy tone on a P-Bass so i think i will buy the 60's. Amazing video by the way, keep up the good work.
Nice comparison. I just got the cv 60s and put some Rotosound tapewounds on it. The feel of the neck is perfect for me. I'm loving the tone!
Very nice! Sounds like old school warmth and playability to me! Are tapes your favourite string? I've not used them too much, but they've definitely got their own thing going on! T
@@TylerSpicer I decided to try then because the local shop had them in stock. These rotosound 88s are heavy 65,75,100,115. I don't know how else to describe it but thumpy. I think they are the closest I've heard to an upright.
I decided last year I need a p bass and had been eyeing those two and this video made the decision trickier. I really liked both their tones and each would lend themselves to different stuff I like to play. Guess I'll have to wait until we can go into shops again and actually try them
The 70’s sounds like it was made with slap in mind.
I'd agree! T
I'm unlikely to buy either one but about 95% chance I'd buy the 60s over the 70s.
Same situation for me! T
recently bought a cv 60's I play it through a Fender rumble 40 the tone is very rich warm , really nice to play with the thin neck, the tone control makes a big difference in its range also, up to now I couldn't fault it, great review btw
Great to hear! They''re definitely warm thick sounding basses. Thank you for the support! T
I agree on the P bass thin neck. I replaced it with a second hand MIM Fender neck and now it plays wonderful!
Amazing! One of the best things about Fender style instrument is the ability to take the best of them and make it your own! T
@@TylerSpicer, everyone should own at least one Frankenfender. ;)
@@maanjezus8622 I’ve thought about doing it so many times - I just always want the biggest necks possible and find them hard to come by! I was at one point debating just having a frankenfender set of classic basses, so one thunderbird pickups, one with a MM setup and so on... Sometimes I find it hard to beat that classic fender playability because I’m so used to it! T
@@TylerSpicer, just give it a try. Choose a body, find the perfect neck and the rest of the parts. You can build a perfect Fender for less than a 1000 dollars or euro's.
Really dig the 70s bass
More punchy sound
Nice finish to
Excellent video, Tyler! Thanks for making an in-depth comparison video.
I had the CV70 and sold it because it wasn't to my taste. Your explanation of the wood totally makes sense now. I think the CV60 is the one for me for that ol' warm and thumpy.
OH! By the way, how is the balance of the CV60? I remember the CV70 had a slight neck dive. My left shoulder was aching a bit even with a super thick Levy's strap.
No problem at all! The CV is so much warmer and thicker in tone. The balance was good on both, despite the thicker neck on the 60s. However the 60s was overall heavier with that poplar body as well. T
Really great video. Helped me decide I am going 70's.
Thank you for watching! Just happy to have helped! Which colour will you go for? T
@@TylerSpicer Black and the block inlays are so awesome!
Once again great video Tyler, like them both very much. However, I like the James Jamerson 60's sounds a lot more and the CV 60's nails that tone very closely. I think changing the cap to a .033 or .022 could brighten the bass up for those who want a little more punch. Fyi - I am still waiting for Fender to re-launch the 32" scale P Basses that Fujigen Japan produced in the 80's that had a slighter smaller body, that's what I am saving my lunch money up for, I don't even care if it's a Squier, Cheers !
I really want more 32" basses too! I totally love them! I'm always on the lookout. It's a shame it's not more widely used - in many ways I think it's the perfect length and makes much more sense than 30" or 34. Agreed on the caps in these too, a little more tonal range could serve it well I think. Thank you for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! T
Awesome comparison! Great minds think alike it seems. My pick personal the 70’s ❤️
Love that! For sure! It's really cool to see everyone's taste so clearly divided on these two basses. For me they're almost totally not even in the same ballpark. You'll either love and go for one or the other, not many people on the fence! Thank you for tuning in once again. T
70’s sounds great.
Forget me not’s sound! That’s a song for those that don’t know.
Great tune! I also owe you a preset - I haven’t forgotten! T
Liking that red bass on the wall behind you a lot!
Great comparison but I think you should have played same phrase on each bass 1-2, 1-2.
My ear heard the lower bass but the different song made it harder to compare for me.
As a guitar player I think the thinner neck is a better fit for me.
Plus the block inlay is just insanely beautiful.
The 70's was the one calling my name. No doubt the one for me. yup, the 70's.
Then I screwed up and went to guitar center and played the mim for $800+...... dang that is really sweet.
Excellent comparison. Made my mind up. Like both but 60's suit my needs. Well done. Thanks
I appreciate you watching and get support! 60s for me too! Enjoy! T
Dead on Tyler . You could really hear the difference. I was truly surprised. I liked the 60s for its smoothness.
It’s pretty amazing given the hardware configurations being identical... I know there are a lot of nay-sayers when it comes to woods but... String evidence with this one! T
Is this the bass Mike Dirnt plays? I want one to play some punk music etc
best review ive seen, thanks!
Aha.. sustain. That is what I was trying to figure out going back and forth the previous 2 videos. Therfore the tendency to play more on the 70s as compared to 60s in order to keep the 'vibration' going.. I guess it all comes down to personal preference but your review really helps a lot in defining the pros & cons of each model. even the store that I plan to buy the bass recommended your videos to help decide! again thanks Tyler! (I can see my comment was on top of the "crops" in this video.. haha)
Haha! It was! I’m glad it helped and shout out to that store for point you to my videos! 💪🏻 Which do you think you’ll go with? T
@@TylerSpicer this classic vibe dilemma 😆 came by when I saw the 70s p bass in an advertisement online.. from there I began to read forums, searched for videos and finally the store. and I really liked the sound of the 60s but I really dig the 70s maple and block inlays.. haha.. since I can't have the best of both basses, I'm inclined towards the 70s. having said this bass has a fast neck, I hope that it'll help in terms of playability (gonna be my 1st bass 😅).. the store is called Swee Lee (Asia's Largest Music Store).. you can check it out!
One of my basses is a 60's Classic Vibe, Fiesta Red that looks just like the bass that shows up on the arm of your chair leaning against the wall. Great playing/sounding P bass:)
Good video 👍. I'm thinking if I were to get one it would be the 60 for the classic tone. My Aria on its neck pickup sounds somewhere between the two and I don't think the 70 gives much that my Aria doesn't.
70s look very Nice. But that depth in the 60s... That ia my reference tone i hear in many records (from the 80s)? I love the 60s model.
If I were buying one of them, it’d be the 60s style (although I’d rather spend a bit more for the Vintera series p-bass).
Me too! I really like the Vinteras (and the older "classic" series that preceded them!). My fiesta red Classic P bass was my first P, and very much the gateway to my CS. T
Hey Tyler, i'm really in between on these two bass, on one side i really like the looks of 70s, but i loved the extra low end that 60s have. Are the difference in sound really worth loosing the looks of 70s? (Wich i prefer much more than 60s)
I played both these basses in the shop today, before I saw your video. I really wanted to like the 70s bad, cos I do like maple neck, and I'm most comfortable on a Jazz style neck. However, my conclusions were identical to yours. I enjoyed playing the 70s but it just wasn't really a Precision. The 60s neck slowed me down, like you said, and I played totally differently, but that Precision sound is there. So I went with the 60s
Excellent insights, I think I prefer the 70s, partly because I play too soft so low end is never an issue, it's the higher range that I'm short of. Also soft necks as you say create more harmonics, the tone they create is so tasty.
Both sound great, the maple 70ies bass seems to have more highs. But the main sound of both is a typical P-Bass sound. Whatever is missing in the frequency range of each of them can be regulated by EQ in the amp or in the daw.
Great playing BTW, this is most important to music. Paul McCartney is a great bassist and composer. His Höfner bass is not playing in the first league.
I agree. Both will sound basically the same in most song mixes. And the audience won’t even know the difference and nobody is going to complain if it’s either the 60s or 70s. Pick the bass that feels more comfortable for your hands and feel.
And the 70s nato wood bass may be lighter in weight, thus more comfortable. At the Sweetwater website they list the weight of each bass they sell.
I have CV 70s and I'm really impressed, I love this bass. I play mostly punk and a bit metal and this bass has all I need.
I think it TOTALLY fits those genres! T
I got a 70s 5 jazz bass before the 100 dollar increase. They over built. Very nice basses.
Very interesting video, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching! T
Matt Freeman Squier has a very interesting tone too
I play with Matt freeman bass and it’s a super bass price wise it’s a keeper! Use this P more than a Japan jazz or Mexican active pj
Thanks T, the 60s CV would be my choice.
Thank you my man! Mine too! It's most like the P basses I've loved and owned. T
@@TylerSpicer BTW Tyler, Im kovi g my new Fender PJ Mustang. Really awesome. Thanks for the tip.
Tons of "honest" reviews on YT. I bought mine used in 2022 for about 300 USD (CV60 Indonesia made 2019) almost in mint condition.
Good:
sound, neck width, vintage bridge, look, finish, playability.
Bad:
Tuners (crap really).
Neck pocket surface is poorly aligned with body surface level - as a result neck a bit turned axially against body surface so that side that looks to player is bit lower than opposite (maybe 1mm). Not that much so bridge saddles can not be leveled to align. Anyways I wonder how this particular quality issue passed QC?
The magnets on mine make click static sound when touch with finger (apart form usual clicking when touch with strings).
Frets 15-18 require leveling. Previous owner had the neck not straighten as much and 15-18 frets buzzing was not a problem.
Fret ends were a bit sharp (actually ok considering the price).
Strings were too high at first fret.
Neck required frequent adjustments, overall too many nut turns to make it straight if compare with other basses I had.
The body wood seems to be too "soft" some screws that attach fingerboard were rotating free after previous owner.
Done: straighten neck for about a week under press/heat, now one rod turn is enough to keep it straight, but I keep it in one room almost all the time so not sure how it may be if travelling/touring, fret ends filed, strings leveled at first fret, magnets poles covered with nail lacquer to get rid of static. Planning to level 15-18 frets someday.
Still good value for the money, but other brands at this price segment probably better. But resale price is better for Squier due hype.
Would not consider this one as a project starter pack - the quality of wood (especially the neck) is so that adding 100 USD pick ups will not add any value - especially that stock pick ups are actually pretty good for my taste.
70s just for those block inlays
I'm a sucker for blocks too... I'll have them on everything if I get the choice! T
70's all day unless I can find a better deal on a 60's :D
Nice! Super interesting to see everyone's different tone preferences in the comments! T
which one for post punk kinda stuff
great video! i plan on buying my first bass and play rock, metal, and punk songs.. what bass do you think is better to get for those specific genres?
Tyler Spicer hey bro!! Nice video. In my opinion the 70s looks better ,but the 60s sound best !!!
I agree! Thank you for the support! I’m all about that old school p bass tone. T
@@TylerSpicer yeah !!! 💪😎
Another cracking review Tyler 👌
I can't decide between the two, so I would have to buy both.
Just like I did with the older Vintage Modified 60's & 70's Jazz basses.
My VM 70's Jazz is very bright and is better suited for rock/punk/ pop.
My VM 60's Jazz is dark and mellow, made even more mellow when I added flat wounds and suits motown/slow ballads type of music.
Like you said in your review, each one forces you to play a certain way.
The 70's will instantly encourage you to give a it good slap (kinky) or dig in on the strings to really bring out the attack.
The 60's, especially with flats, my playing style changes instantly, I'll play slower, be more gentle on the strings and really get the feel on the dark, deep notes.
So yeah, I would have to buy them both.
Keep the reviews coming, keep up the good work, stay safe and Rock on fella...! 👍🤟🎸
Nice comparison Tyler! I have a CV60’s and it is just as you say it is but the nut & tuners on mine are trash so for now until I get replacements I swapped the neck with the one off my VM70’s Jazz and it did indeed change the tone much like you described the 70’s P in the video. More articulation but a bit less fundamental.
Just wondering. I may have missed it but are the pickups the same in both?
Yes, I believe the pickups are the same in both basses. I think the tuners are the first thing I'd upgrade on any Squier - more than the pickups. I do really feel like a bass' tone follows the neck more than anything else! Good to see more feedback of a similar experience! And thank you for tuning in once again! T
Which is better the classic vibe 60 or the 40th anniversary?
Thanks you !You are a master Very good analyse ! For me , for salsa music , the cv 60's is a good choice. Best regards
Tyler thanks for the info i had a Fender precission 72 but it didn't what i wanted so i sold it now i go for the P bass 60s because i like to play motown blues and Bossa nova my english is poor sorry.
Tyler wich strings did you use? Flatwounds on the P 60s.
Hey Tyler! Would like to know about the strings as well. Also would you recommend a pickup upgrade for more serious playing on these bases? Im thinking about slapping the fender yosemite pups on.
Nice! The 60s will definitely suit those! The strings on these basses are the Fender Nickel Wound strings. My personal favourite strings for an old school tone are Labella flatwounds, through I prefer their low tension flexible flats, to any other.
Hey! I personally really dislike the Yosemite pickups. For me they lack body, particularly when paired with the tone pot in the performer basses. I think the biggest improvement you’ll get would be a high quality tone pot, a different pickup, and better tuners. My personal favourite P pickups are the Fender 62, 59/62 (that I have in my custom shop P bass) for more vintage tones, and the DiMarzio DP146 for more rock tones! T
@@TylerSpicer irt the Fender ‘62. Is that the Original ‘62 or the Custom Shop ‘62?
seems like 70s more punch 60s more smooth
A lot more attack on the 70s! T
How do these ones compare to the CV Jaguar bass? I'm undecided between the CV 60s and the CV Jaguar
Hi Tyler, great review! This may be a bit off topic but what bass/direction would you point me to for creating R&B? It's my first bass so I'm pretty clueless! Thanks in advance
Hey! No problem at all! You can’t really go wrong with a Jazz bass of some sort for R&B... Plenty of versatility for a classic tone! T
@@TylerSpicer Thank you!
Since I'm looking for a P bass and already have an American Fender jazz the 60s is win.
Totally agree 👍
Thank you for this comparison ! I'm just curious: can be e problem in the mix, if a bass with big low end (like the 60's) is played faster and with more notes?
Not in my experience! All about the player’s technique though. Ultimately how and instrument will sound in the end is in the hands of the player! T
I prefer the jazz bass myself thanks.
The 70s has much bite and growl at 100% tone, it's ideal for rock, and you can really hear the difference rolling the tone. The 60s sounds kinda dull to me, not so different from 0% tone to 100% tone.
Definitely a darker sounding bass that I'd attribute to the fingerboard and thicker neck! T
oh heck.. buy both!
The only choice! T
Oooh please! Can somebody tell what did he say after he finish to play both basses? Im from Chile and I dont hear english very well, but I can read
Can someone translate?
I preferred the 60s overall! More old traditional/vintage sound and tone - which I like! T
I had both. 60 is much better - poplar is very resonant wood similar to alder. Nato/basswood is uninspiring (muddy).
I prefer the 60s too! T
Hi Tyler, I've had this question on my mind for a while but never really found a great answer or comparison for that matter but is there a chance you could compare the squier cv 60s p bass and the fender player p bass, is the extra money worth it?
I think the player P is a proper lifetime servant of a bass. It’s kind of generic in its tone, but it’s almost like “the best of” P bass tone. The Squier is a great bass, but definitely more to that vintage side of things in feel and sound from the wood choices. I’d personally get the Player, as much as I like the SQ 60s. T
@@TylerSpicer Cheers for the input, will do.
Hi Tyler, great videos, thanks. I’m hearing about dodgy necks on these basses, is that a problem you think id run into? I have a cheap bass now but I’m looking to get something better.
I have a 70s strat which is the guitar equivalent to the 70s bass. It has that amazing looking maple neck too but I’m not sure the bass is as reliable and maybe the 60s is built better?
I’m not looking for perfection, I’ll only be using it to play at home on a 15w amp
Just watched your squier tier list, sounds like the 60s is a better buy
Which bass is better?
I have the CV 60s in fiesta red as shown in the background. Most p basses I demo have slightly thicker necks. Hows the feel differ for you on the 60s vs 70s... i'm looking around for the black 70s p bass that was made in 2016
The 60s is much thicker. The 70s is much more like a slim jazz profile. I personally much prefer the 60s!
@@TylerSpicer which p bass is thicker than the classic vibe 60s?
@@SteezyFilms24 i dont really think anything in the squier range. The CV 50s is arguably thicker but I feel it’s more of a different shape. The bass in the back ground of this video is a Custom Shop Fender 59’ which is thicker than a CV, as are pretty much all the vintage style fender Ps (Vintera, American original and the 62 neck on the American Pro)
@@TylerSpicer gotcha. last question - are the newer CV models an improvement over the last run in 2016? What's the difference (if there are) from say the 70s CV then to the 70s CV now
70s cv p-bass and 70s cv-bass are both better sounding to me. But the 60s is easier to play IMO
Both are awesome.
I know this will sound strange but I love the timbre of your voice.
Haha! All positive remarks are more than welcome! Glad you like it! T
right now it sounds more like 70's P.. when he gets a bit older a 60's...lol
I just bought the classic 70's pbass, the same one you are using in this video, but upon seeing the 60's CV, it made me think twice if I did the right purchase :D in terms of build quality, which one do you think is more "solid"?
In all honesty, the 60s feels more solid, mostly due to the mass in the neck. However that also gives you that bigger neck profile and darker tone. I don’t think the 70s will fall apart by any means - everything else is equal or the same, but in terms of feel, the 60s ‘feels’ more solid. T
70s model is like owning a Jazz bass
The 70s sounds like it has more bark to it or something. To my ears the 60s was a lot sweeter.
A maple necked bass or guitar will give you a brighter sound than one with a Rosewood finger borad.
So, it's not a fair comparison.
Try two maple necked basses next time you do a comparison.
Of course it isn’t, but a question I get asked every week and a comparison people want to hear! A lot of people looking at a bass in this process range won’t necessarily know the difference fingerboards make… And even then a lot of people think the difference in fingerboard is hocus-pocus! T
Tyler you must need to shower bro! Because theres some serious funk coming from your direction! 😁😁😁, I want the 70s to go with my jazz
Haha! Thank you my man. That would be one smart looking combo! T
Bass heaven
Can you do a shoot out with a Affinity series P bass Vs. 60’s classic vibe?
In all honesty the Classic vibe is in a different league. If you can afford it, get the CV! T
To me 60's looks better but 70's sounds better
I’m a sucker for blocks normally, but the 60s does it for me here too. Classic looks. T
WHICH IS WHICH ?????????????????????????????/
60 have a dark fretboard, 70 is...the other
Would have had been perfect to have the two basses playing the same riffs one after the other
Totally, as I say in the video I didn’t have both at the same time so working retrospectively this was the best I could do! Thank you for watching! T
I just wish they’d switch back to Indian rosewood, then I’d be buying the 60’s squier p bass
I doubt that will ever happen nowadays with the pricing of it 😢 T
Imo 70s bass sounds best
pls make subtitles
Shouldn't they both have the same necks for a true test?
If it was to compare one aspect, yes! But the 70s doesn’t come with a rosewood type neck and people are a,ways looking to compare the two. I’ve had more comments on their respective videos asking which to go for than I have on almost every other video! T
The 70s.
I got both of them🧔👍
The smart choice! 💪🏻
I feel squire 70 is different from precision sound
70s jazz bass
My friend in electric instruments the wood influences abbout 10% of the sound, no more.
I disagree, but that’s totally cool and gives us all options! Fretboard wood in particular makes the biggest difference in my experience, but I know many disagree most strongly on that! T
