SQUIER CLASSIC VIBE 70S JAZZ BASS vs FENDER 1978 JAZZ BASS

In this video I play a Squier CV 70s Jazz Bass and an old 1978 Fender Jazz Bass to see how they sound compared to each other. Tell me in the comments what you hear!

Bought the squier 3 years ago and am currently in the process to bond with it, Killer instrument for anything in my book.

[@gto1607]

The Fender sounds fuller. I had a 82 Squier jazz bass and wish Id kept it. Your Squier sounds good but the Fender sounds much fuller. I did this without watching which you were playing.

[@Hardjaxl]

Great job! Thank you.

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks!

The Fender sounds a bit richer, but not sure if I would pay 5x's times more for this little difference. I am sure with some EQ / Pedal / Pre AMP you can get the same sound in the end if you are dying for it.

[@markbass354]

sounds great
both sound good the Fender is better

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks, yes both sound like a jazz bass.

[@omarbaldeon-]

Interesante. Ahora tengo una mejor idea de cuál poder comprarme.

[@AndreasBrink]

Tack!

[@mhathungmoab6551]

Fender has a more bottom end. Squier is a bit brighter. Nevertheless!Both are beautiful. 😍😍😍

[@lptomtom]

Which one would you choose if you could only keep one? Thanks for the video Andreas!

[@AndreasBrink]

I would keep the Squier, I prefer the slim neck profile and certainly the lower weight. Both sound good.

[@bapt_andthebasses]

@@AndreasBrink Slim necks don't last long tho... the strings often get over them and the trussrod eats the wood.

[@silvershot970]

From 6:16 till the end of the video, what is the title of that song? It's sounds really cool and I dig it.

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks! This piece of music doesn't have a name, it's something I made just for this video.

[@jd4947]

Squier has more body, I like it more. Another thing is the finishes, playability, etc.

[@jd4947]

Great demo and well played!

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks!

[@DoghouseFunkBlaster65]

Another difference between the two basses, the '78 body appears to be made of ash as opposed to the usual Alder which has a much softer grain and lighter in weight than ash. The Classic Vibe body is made from poplar, a closer substitute to alder. This explains the difference in weight. The heavier instrument may also sustain better.

[@AndreasBrink]

Yes, the ´78 is made from ash and the CV is poplar. Ash does not always have to be THIS heavy though, fortunately.

[@dowsemeister]

Fender has a sweeter top end when thumpin' and pluckin'
Nice review of both. I have a Classic Vibe. It's very good, but I sure wish I had a '78 Jazz!

[@sandropodda6699]

🤟😀👏

[@BR-ip5pz]

Different necks

[@AndreasBrink]

Everything is different actually.

[@leonardpoindexter5289]

I like Squire….heresy!

[@AndreasBrink]

Don't worry, I'm a heretic too.

[@leonardpoindexter5289]

Other “off brand” basses I like and own are G&L and Sire.

[@sharifaiman2997]

First, Andreas.

[@AndreasBrink]

You're quick!

[@sharifaiman2997]

@@AndreasBrinkThanks, Andreas!

[@vinisasso]

Fender has a sweeter sound overall, but the Squier is surprisingly good when slapped. Some might even prefer its slap sound over the Fender.

Maple is briter sounding than rosewood.
