The Fender sounds a bit richer, but not sure if I would pay 5x's times more for this little difference. I am sure with some EQ / Pedal / Pre AMP you can get the same sound in the end if you are dying for it.
Hey, nice video. Just have one question though: why did you use a DI box and then run it into the interface? I believe the Scarlett has an instrument jack that brings the impedance down to mic-levels, right?
Thanks! Yes, you are correct in that the Scarlett has an instrument input that works as a DI. It sounds good too. But I just like the sound of the RNDI better.
@@AndreasBrink Ah, awesome, thanks for the reply! I'm new to all this stuff and I thought I was missing something crucial with not using a DI. Thank you for that amazing comparison! I'm even more excited to receive my 70's CV Squier now :)
Another difference between the two basses, the '78 body appears to be made of ash as opposed to the usual Alder which has a much softer grain and lighter in weight than ash. The Classic Vibe body is made from poplar, a closer substitute to alder. This explains the difference in weight. The heavier instrument may also sustain better.
The Fender sounds fuller. I had a 82 Squier jazz bass and wish Id kept it. Your Squier sounds good but the Fender sounds much fuller. I did this without watching which you were playing.
Bought the squier 3 years ago and am currently in the process to bond with it, Killer instrument for anything in my book.
Great job! Thank you.
Thanks!
From 6:16 till the end of the video, what is the title of that song? It's sounds really cool and I dig it.
Thanks! This piece of music doesn't have a name, it's something I made just for this video.
Fender has a more bottom end. Squier is a bit brighter. Nevertheless!Both are beautiful. 😍😍😍
sounds great
both sound good the Fender is better
Thanks, yes both sound like a jazz bass.

@@bass_journey throw a set of EMG's in it.

@@steve17 I'm sure you'll be happy with it, the CVs are great instruments. Better than many 70s Fenders I dare say.
Which one would you choose if you could only keep one? Thanks for the video Andreas!
I would keep the Squier, I prefer the slim neck profile and certainly the lower weight. Both sound good.
@@AndreasBrink Slim necks don't last long tho... the strings often get over them and the trussrod eats the wood.

Yes, the ´78 is made from ash and the CV is poplar. Ash does not always have to be THIS heavy though, fortunately.

Trick from an old bass player: just change the bridge on a Squier and it is a completely different bass.
Squier has more body, I like it more. Another thing is the finishes, playability, etc.
Great demo and well played!
Thanks!
Squires offer a great platform for upgrades. I favor Delano pickups and flats with this axe
Interesante. Ahora tengo una mejor idea de cuál poder comprarme.
👍👍, lillebror
Tack!
Fender has a sweeter top end when thumpin' and pluckin'
Nice review of both. I have a Classic Vibe. It's very good, but I sure wish I had a '78 Jazz!
With a tad bit of compression the squire wins for me.
The money you save getting the squire can pay for a nice compression pedal
Fender has a sweeter sound overall, but the Squier is surprisingly good when slapped. Some might even prefer its slap sound over the Fender.
I like Squire….heresy!
Don't worry, I'm a heretic too.
Other “off brand” basses I like and own are G&L and Sire.
Different necks
Everything is different actually.
First, Andreas.
You're quick!
@@AndreasBrinkThanks, Andreas!
🤟😀👏
Maple is briter sounding than rosewood.
