This Squier CV 70s J Bass V is a seriously solid instrument. The active/passive circuit and noiseless pickups give you a ton of tonal options, and the HiMass bridge really makes it sing. It's a fantastic choice for players seeking that classic 70s J Bass vibe without the premium-priced tag – especially great for funk, Motown, and modern rock.

Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, you get a more traditional, slightly warmer J Bass tone. Engaging the active circuit boosts the signal and adds a Treble/Bass boost for a more modern, punchy sound.
The frets are finished with a slightly rolled edge, providing a comfortable feel without being overly rounded – a nice balance for playability.
The 'C' shape is a versatile and generally comfortable profile, offering a good balance between thickness and slimness, suitable for a wide range of playing styles.
