Fender Announces 2025 Squier Classic Vibe Bass Lineup with Four New Models
Fender has announced the 2025 additions to its Squier Classic Vibe series, introducing four new bass models: the Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass, the Classic Vibe Active ’70s Jazz Bass, the Classic Vibe Active ’70s Jazz Bass V, and the Classic Vibe ’60s Jazz Bass. Each model blends vintage Fender style with modern updates aimed at today’s bassists.
The Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass takes inspiration from late-‘60s and early-‘70s designs, featuring a contoured poplar body, a wide-range humbucker, and a Tele-style headstock and pickguard for a retro aesthetic with enhanced comfort.
The Active ’70s Jazz Bass models, available in both four- and five-string versions, bring modern performance into the mix. They feature Fender-designed Noiseless pickups, an active preamp with bass and treble boost, and the ability to bypass the circuit for passive operation. Other upgrades include a HiMass bridge, block inlays, bound fingerboards, and a vintage-tinted gloss neck finish.
Rounding out the lineup is the Classic Vibe ’60s Jazz Bass, which stays true to the early Jazz Bass vibe with a slim “C”-shaped neck, threaded saddle bridge, and 1960s-style headstock markings. It will be available in four finishes: Tahitian Coral, 3-Color Sunburst, Daphne Blue, and Black.
The new Squier Classic Vibe basses are expected to ship in August 2025, with prices ranging from $473.99 to $556.99.
