@@erockscott1184replying so quite an old comment here, but i recommend Ernie Ball flats. i currently have a set of cobalt 50-105 on my Squier CV ‘60s J bass, and they take some wearing in but they sound and play great. you might have to re-setup your bass a tad but that’s the case when changing to different strings for anything
I used to be one of those bassists who would ignore anything Squier, however I got out of that phase and I realized: I LOVE SQUIER! Especially the Classic Vibe series which blows most MIM Fenders and even some MIA made one out of the water! Absolutely great for gigging and recording use! I’ll definitely get this bass in the future! UPDATE/EDIT: I ordered an excellent second hand one for $250 along with some other stuff and it’s coming in two days! I can’t wait!!!! Edit again: I got it! It came with a set of dirty old Flatwound strings! I love the bass and it’s tone! I got it so cheap second hand because there was a gash on the bottom of the body and some dings but that doesn’t bother me at all! It gives me that roadworn vibe, I’m gonna create more dings on it 😊
I've had mine in this exact colour for a month and I've been playing the hell out of it. The surprising thing is that it doesn't drop out of tune it came with a perfect set up out of the box and it's been smooth as butter.
I like how even fully open it isn't too trebly or bright sounding. I've played/heard P basses that can sound clickety clackety no matter how well you try to set them up. This sounds just as a P should sound to my ears.
brooks only73 dont own one but have had the opportunity to play one multiple times. I would give this a solid 7-8. The tuners could be better but of course at that price you can’t really expect perfection
I got this bass after this great demo, put some fender chrome bridge and pickup covers on it and I have a great sounding and looking Jamerson motown bass!
Man, your bass reviews are just the absolute best on the whole internet. They are honest, let me hear al the sounds. Makes it easier to make a decision on what bass to buy. Thanks Anthony, keep it going on. Greetings from the Netherlands.
The 4 main secrets to good sound that can be achieved on almost any bass are as follows: 1. Player Articulation 2. Griffin positioning & setup 3. Fresh strings 4. EQ and good amp I think that the right thoughtful combination of these 4 things makes a cheap instrument sound decent :).
Got one open box from a big retailer. Swapped the neck for a rosewood MIM Standard Jazz neck, lefty reversed, bone nut, NOS 70's Schaller tuners, the zinc saddles for steel, Pure Vintage '63 pickup, CTS electrics, Thomastik Infield flats, Fender covers on principle, resold the original neck and pickup for almost 2 Franklins back. BUT could have just done the pickup, saddles, electrics, got long stem Gotoh vintage style tuners, and TI flatwounds, done the fretwork myself, and still been out the door for under $600 taxed and shipped. Best mod platform from Fender/Squier in this product cycle, it's easy to build an instrument that will shame a MIM Fender Player. And go in any sonic direction pickup wise. Great stuff.
I tried one today. I have to get one. I am always impressed by the sound that comes out of those Squiers. My first Squier was a Strat and it sounded awesome, enough to piss off a friend who had a 1200$ Ibanez and was looking for a sound. Eh, 500$ (can) I had an amp a gig bag and the instrument. My second is a Jazz bass vintage 70's modified, I can't depart from it. That yellow thing has a Mojo or something... I sure will get that P-bass I tried today... matter of a few days...
do you guys notice the videos featuring Anthony doing demos on bass have a butt load more views than any other videos? NEED MORE BASS VIDEOS with Anthony.
Thanks Anthony, the review was well worth the wait. Your bass reviews are by far the best on U-Tube! I might add your bass playing is very tasteful also. One of the very few people I really enjoy listening to, not just a bunch of slap happy nonsense! Sorry if I drove you nuts with my constant request for this particular review☺ You're a man of your word, thanks again.
In my opinion this bass is all you need in life unless if you’re maybe doing unconventional music. Take it to gigs and not worry if it gets damaged or stolen since it’s cheap. Buy an extra spare and enjoy the life without gear complications
Been wanting to buy my first bass and I've looked into this one as my "learner's model"... Just, that I'd like to buy and learn left-handed, since I'm a lefty.
It's funny you should mention the 70s modified J bass . I spent alot of time getting it set up and have to tweak it so often. Although I won't don't trade it for me anything . This P bass I like as well . Great sound . Not quite a Vintera but definitely gets you nearly the same sound .
hahahaha St. James Jamerson....I laughed out loud at that one buddy thank you !! (as i sit at my desk with 'standing in the shadows of motown' book next to me :D !
@@omnipossum92 I got this CV 60s precision and I added the bridge and pickup covers along with the finger rest or “tug bar.” I got those parts online from fender. It is a jamerson tribute bass for less than $500.
So. I have a 2003 Crafted in Japan P-bass. Looks very similar to this one. Are the Squire bass decent enough these days for me to feasibly sell the Fender, buy a classic vibe and have change leftover?
Anthony , great playing as always!! I’m looking at getting one of these. I have the Vintage Modified 70s Jazz Bass and the VM precision bass with an additional jazz pickup in the bridge and these things rival any Mexican Fender I have ever had.
My Vintage Modified PJ bass really needs different pickups though..I put 250 k pots in it by mistake...it sounds like crap now. Time to get that one going again with new pickups and pots
How do you compare Classic Vibes to Made in Mexico Fender. I have few fender P and JBass but need something to gig and was thinking in a buying this Classic Vide for live gigs.
I'm looking to get my first bass guitar. I'm a guitar player, but I got into fingerstyle acoustic and now I'm interested in learning bass properly, and not just as a guitarist playing bass... I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the classic vibe 60's p bass.
Do it, I bought this 6-7 months ago in Olympic white. Fantastic value for money. Really nice player. Up there with the Mexican made stuff-my humble opinion of course.
@@scaredypicker cool. I gave up years ago and only started again when family life settled down. I've owned some decent gear in the past and was sceptical about ordering a Squire....big mistake. A well priced, belt and braces, sturdy bass. I enjoy playing mine when I can grab an hour or two to myself.
Well not really the reason genders are more expensive compared to this is where it’s made it’s cheaper to make a guitar in china because you have to pay less to an employee than in Mexico not mentioning the us and usually these fenders have better hardware finish less tool marks and a better pup but if you think a squier isn’t that far from the fender go for it
@@bafoolagan4273 American made is not necessary better quality (thinkin' about Gibson...) It was true a decade ago but asian made is great quality today. Just one thing when you buy a Squier, change the pots and some electronic parts, all the rest is ok.
I wouldn't want that Fender brand could discontinue this basses 'cause they don't want you know this bass and a $2000 Pbass is almost the same fckn thing JAJAJAJA
Great demo and review Anthony! Can you do the Squier Classic Vibe Fretless Jazz Bass next? I've been looking for a quality demo or review of it but there is nothing around. Greetings from Spain
Hi, thanks for the video. I like this bass and I would change pickup for EMG GZR P. But I'd like also the PJ configuration, so I should buy the Affinity. What do you think it's better? CV construction seems better... I have this dilemma 😅 thank for help
@@lefix3425 Hi, I bought the CV 60, I'm really satisfied. It was already ok, but I upgraded with EMG pick-up, Gotoh bridge e Black Tusq nut. And setup by a luthier. Mega satisfied, really impressed 😃👍
So, I have no way of knowing what you went with, but I figured I'd shed some light on this decision for you, and for any others in the future who come across your comment, with the same feeling. A Stingray4, we will talk about the Sterling models , as they are to EBMM as Squier is to Fender. There is the Ray24 and Ray34. 24 is the model comparable in price to the Squier CV p bass. The ray24 is a wonderful instrument, it hits the nail on the head in terms of the stingray sonic capabilities. The preamp is 3-band which is nice to have, but not always necessary and I would even say a bit of a distraction for a new player. Although, just leaving it all wide open sounds very cool. The ray24 doesn't feel cheap, it doesn't look cheap and it sure as hell doesn't sound cheap. The thing to keep in mind is that rays put out a sound that is very distinct. Not everyone enjoys it. It's a wayy more aggressive sound. Squiers CV lines of guitar and basses, over the last couple of years, have become absolutely amazing instruments. The Strats are god damn amazing. But we talking about the p bass here. In my opinion, if you are on the market for your first bass guitar, this is it. Any of the CV models of p bass are the best first bass. I enjoy them all, but have only kept my black on black maple neck CV70. The P bass is the preferred bass for a ton of studio engineers as it just plugs in and puts out a tone in a frequency that sits perfectly where it should in a mix. If you ever go to a studio for a session, you are very very likely to record a few takes with your other bass and then be handed a 'house bass' and surprise, it's a P bass lmao. I had a friend with a custom Dingwall and a Warwick Thumb 5. He did 5ish takes on each and the engineer has this look on his face, you can tell he was just not liking how they sounded and played in the mix. He hands the bass player and 800 dollar, old ass, beat up P bass with a piece of insulation foam under the strings right in front of the bridge. One take. Boom, sounded perfect in the mix. So, get a p bass, if you like it at all. It will allow you to focus purely on playing and you won't have to fuck around with a preamp , as they are almost pointless unless you frequently play in venues of different sizes. In those cases, being able to roll your mids up and down can really help you control how your bass sounds in the high air of a venue. Hope this helps. Squier CV, and more recently 40th anniversary, P basses rule
Great review @Empire Music ! I am about to order one myself (but LH :) ) . Do you know what strings (brand/type) come with the bass? and if you recommend to change them right away, what would you recommend for playing straigth forward rock/punk ? Cheers!
I believe it's Laurel. Not rolled edges. Regardless of price, frets shouldn't be sharp if properly humidified and they will be sharp if left in dry environment. Thanks for watching - Anthony
Nice video! I've owned this exact model for arround 10 months, and only in 2020 I started seeing reviews for the CV Bass series, does anyone know why it took so long? Anyways its a solid P-bass but it does require some setup.
Hey, I've got the same bass. I did give the fret ends a bit of a clean up as it was sitting under the air con in the shop which dried and shrunk the fretboard. It would have been fine as is but I like tinkering
Got this 10 months ago and last week was the second time I had to hand it in, the sound completely disappeared once again from just playing it. Probably gonna sell mine off, kinda disappointed because even tho it's a Squier I expected it to live a bit longer. Sounds amazing though.
Check the ground wires on the pots. I bought one and the solder job was super sloppy and the wire came off....no sound. I re-soldered the wire and I am back in business.
I hear no difference between the two basses. If there is , just adjust the amp. Not sure why Fender would make a bass, call it squire and say its beginners level or lower price for everyone. It makes no sense paying four times more for a name. If it bothers you, just sand the squire name off.

Im a jazz bass fanatic! But this precision bass sounds fantastic! Now i have this same model CV 60s PBass. And im very satisfied
i have exact one in lefty. EXCELLENT
This guitar is perfect for the bedroom guitarist and tweekable. I would change out bits as needed but for me these are the best value on the market

Just got one. I'm gonna upgrade the bridge and pickups. Maybe tuners eventually, but this is definitely worth the price to upgrade for what you get.
That sounds just as good as my USA Made Fender P Bass. It sounds just the same.
I have one, upgraded the pickups to custom shop 60s p bass then upgraded electronics to premium specs and love everything about it
Coming to you from the greatest town east of the Mississippi! Alas I am stuck in Philadelphia.

6:00 Illegal. Police called
Tell that to Chris squire or mccartney

I hear no difference between the two basses. If there is , just adjust the amp. Not sure why Fender would make a bass, call it squire and say its beginners level or lower price for everyone. It makes no sense paying four times more for a name. If it bothers you, just sand the squire name off.
