calumpiercy Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Squire Classic Vibe Precision Bass (Indonesia) or Vintage V4? Which is the better Bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 They're about the same, having owned both. The V4 reissued has better hardware, and you can pick up a used V4 far cheaper then the Squier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The only real difference I’ve found is the V4 has a chunkier neck, or at least the Tony Butler V4 has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 On balance I prefer the V4. But there's not much in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mine as a backup to my US Precision and fully expected to have to swap pickups etc, but no, sounded great and played great too. Real good quality instruments.

barrycreed Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I notice the fretboard on my Vintage has started to fade. I can't recall what the fretboard material is on mine. It's not rosewood. Doesn't bother me, just an observation. I got mine earlier this year, so not sure if it's the weather, my sweat etc... A lovely stock guitar I have to say. Based on my experience with their guitars, I thought I would have had to do a few small upgrades, but I'd happily gig it stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
