Product Description

Telecaster Bass Attitude With Thunderous Wide Range Punch

If you love the look of those late 60s and early 70s Telecaster basses but need something you can actually gig without babying, this Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass hits that sweet spot. It nails the vintage vibe, adds a contoured body for comfort, and packs a Wide Range humbucking bass pickup that brings serious low-end authority.

Vintage Telecaster Bass Style In Vintage White

The poplar Telecaster Bass body in Vintage White gives you that unmistakable slab-style Tele look with a few modern comforts. The gloss polyurethane finish is tough enough for real-world gigs and travel, so you are not freaking out over every little ding.

Squier gave this one a contoured body, so it hugs your ribcage instead of fighting you. Whether you are posted up on a stool in the studio or moving around on stage, it feels like an old friend, not a boat anchor.

Wide Range Humbucker For Big, Thunderous Tone

The Fender Designed alnico Wide Range humbucking bass pickup in the neck is the whole story here. It dishes out huge, round lows with enough mid punch to cut, which means you hold down the foundation without turning into a muddy mess.

With a simple Master Volume and Master Tone, you can go from old-school thump to more open, modern grind just by working the knobs and your right hand. No switching, no fuss, just one killer voice that covers a lot of ground.

Comfortable Maple Neck With A Broken-In Feel

The maple neck has a comfortable C shape that feels familiar the second you grab it. It is not a baseball bat and not a thin shred stick, just a nice middle-ground carve that most players adapt to fast.

The maple fingerboard with a 9.5 inch radius and 20 narrow tall frets keeps things feeling precise but easy. Bends, slides, and vibrato stay controlled, and that vintage-tinted gloss urethane finish gives you the old-school look with a slick, fast feel instead of sticky lacquer.

Hardware That Stays Out Of Your Way

A 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with barrel saddles keeps your intonation solid and your feel classic. Nickel hardware, knurled flat-top knobs, and a 3-ply parchment pickguard complete the throwback look without feeling like a costume piece.

The bone nut and nickel-plated steel strings (.045-.105) keep the tone lively and responsive. This one comes in at a very manageable 8.4 lbs, so long rehearsals and double sets are totally doable.

Dialed In By Players, For Players

Real talk: out of the box, a lot of budget-friendly basses need work. This one gets the full Moore Guitars treatment before it ever hits your door. Our techs are all players, so every Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass gets a full Player-Perfect setup, intonation dialed, action where it should be, and a clean bill of health.

You are looking at the actual bass in the photos, serial CYKH25000716, hanging in our Evansville, Indiana shop right now. It has been inspected three times, set up, and is ready to ship with free 2-3 day shipping and a 14-day sound check window so you can make sure it really works in your rig.

Questions about how this Tele bass will sit in your band mix or how it compares to a P or J style? Call 888-794-8482 and talk to someone who actually gigs and records, not a script reader.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The Wide Range humbucking bass pickup has a bigger, broader voice than a traditional P-Bass pickup. You still get supportive low end, but with more output and a wider frequency spread, so your notes have extra bloom and authority. Roll the tone back and you can get into old-school thump territory, open it up and it has enough cut and grit to hang in a rock or modern worship mix.
Absolutely. The Classic Vibe line is built to be real-world workhorses, not just starter instruments. With the solid hardware, stable 4-bolt neck joint, and our Player-Perfect setup, this bass is ready for bar gigs, church services, and studio sessions right out of the box. If you are a working bassist who wants vintage flavor without boutique pricing, this will get the job done night after night.
Yes. The photos you see are of the actual Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass on this page, serial CYKH25000716. We shoot each instrument individually so you know exactly what you are getting: finish, grain, little details, everything. No stock photos, no surprises when you open the case.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
