yoTrakkz « Great, my first bass! »
Published on 10/03/11 at 19:41I've only had this bass for a couple of months but have used it before I purchased it, and I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorite instruments ever! The Duncan Design pickups have a great tone that I have never heard on a bass in this price range. The action was a bit high and required some minor adjustments, but other than that I have found no flaws with this instrument. It has a great sound, a smooth, fast neck, and it looks stunning! I owned a MIM Fender Jazz some years ago, and I can say for a fact that the Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass is a FAR superior instrument. Home run, Squier!
UTILIZATION
I Get a great sound with this bass, very easy to get to the last frets and get those notes going! I am not a seasoned bass player, I am still learning and this bass helps!
SOUNDS
Sounds amazing, really couldn’t ask for more out of an affordable bass. It fits perfect when im playing jazz!
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, This is a solid bass,the one I got was pretty much perfect,except one of the tuning keys is a little loose,but it doesn't cause it to go out of tune. Nice finish, very smooth, fret work is good,all knobs tight & smooth. The chrome parts are plated so after a few years of steady gigging they may start to look funky, but that's just a guess.(I plan to take it to most of my gigs,I always take 2 basses.)The binding on the neck is really nice so I wish the "block inlays" weren't just painted on,but hey for under 3 bills...and from the stage it looks like inlays.The quality control seems to be pretty good from the factory. Its a very well made instrument for the money & would be a solid performer for any gigging musician.
