This is my third bass in the last 10 years. I had stopped playing after moving to Spain in 1999, but picked up a cheap bass and not so cheap keyboards to begin playing again. I upgraded my second bass with some new pups, but still wasn't entirely convinced with the sound I was getting. Then I saw the reviews and generally positive feedback on this Squier CV 70 Jazz Bass. I was able to play one here in Spain, and loved it. So, when Thomann had this model for 369 euros, I had to get it.
It was delivered to my door in three business days, and right out of the box, it was perfectly set up. The only thing I have changed are the strings, as I prefer the bite that Rotosound 66LD provides. This is a fantastic bass. I just played a show last night, and it sounded great. Several people complimented me on the appearance, which is great, but most importantly, they complimented me on the tone.
I am in a cover band that plays music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. This bass can handle it all. It didn't even go out of tune with the brand new strings I put on the day of the show.
If you're like me, and don't have the means to be able to afford a professional bass, this Squier CV 70 Jazz Bass is an absolute steal.
