Best value: Excellent
Made in Indonesia as many Squier.
20 frets, two pickups single coil J-Bass (one in the neck position and one in the bridge position)
2 volume knobs (one for mic) and a knob for the general tone.
Rosewood.

For the rest, must see on the site of Squier.

UTILIZATION

The maple neck is really nice, it's a round of Bass.

Access to treble is good but I rarely go beyond the 16th fret ...

The ergonomics are classic, bass is not a lightweight.

I take 2 points for weight, otherwise it's top.

SOUNDS

it suits my style of music (pop rock) I play mostly Beatles and it rolls.

On my Hartke A70 (70 watts) is an impressive sound that comes out of its microphones.

I put in Fender Flatwound strings 50/100 for a more roots. Do not put steel strings Pro or gender because the sound is really slamming.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since July 2007.
I love the round sound and handles nice but, instead, it is heavier than a Precision Bass, or at least, gives the impression.
Before you have it, I tried a Cort Action Bass 4 strings but unavailable that day. I spotted in the magazines and bought by default, I do not regret at all. I also tried a Squier Bronco Bass (nice, I hesitate) and Warwick Rockbass Corvette (over my budget even though the bass was nice).
the price / quality ratio is excellent + / - € 300
I would do this choice as a beginner or low-up and does not part with it.
