    Nice tone and well made but a little heavy bass.

    Squier Vintage Modified Jazz BassPublished on 02/17/15 at 05:51
    I bought my first one back in 2006 with the Duncan Design pickups. After a heavy use in my band and in Church, I sold it for whatever reason. I made setups for some friends in my country and I already worked with couple of this one again and of course after my setups, I play them to check them. This bass is well made and very versatile for every kind of music but are strong in the slap and pop. In the couple of this basses that I had fix, I find a common problem. First, the factory setup was horrible and very high action. It's a little hard to set up a low action without have fret buzz especially down the 12 fret or above.

This could be a problem for those who has a very hard touch when they play. Not a problem if you light your touch or use a proper technique but they buzz a little bit. Third, they are heavy. First and second issues can be fixed with some setups. Third reason could be an issue especially if you play several hours or have back problems like me. Overall is a nice funky bass.

    I'll temprer some rave Other owners of this low because I am very trsdu the finish.
    1 - I have a big knot on the body (alas). By far, made a sort of knob and more on top of the bass. I find it a lousy but it is not the worst.
    2 - There was a small packet of varnish in the 2nd case, we felt under the thumb and I had to sand it. I can not find a normal.
    3 - The handle back presents 5 big waves, it is like tthe waves. There is a difference of almost 1mm hollow ridge, it is standard. I had never seen, even on low first prize.

    USE

    Well, aprsrglage, ergonomics is perfect, it's true, and the sound is really good, well-typed. Too bad I have small defects in the handle, agche all.

    SONORITS

    Good sound for funk. I dbranch all my pedals and effects, most. Direct in the amp, equalizer and flat rings. I have not even changed the strings.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Compared to my other copy Jazzbass (an old session), the Squier VM is Suprieure, I do not regret my purchase but I regret having bought without looking trusting the opinions posts here. May be that there are better guitars finished than others and I fell on a bad copy. It's a shame and I do not forgive. This will be my next purchase Fender Squier not.

    Good surprise

    Squier Vintage Modified Jazz BassPublished on 04/09/14 at 03:53

    This bass is made in Indonesia (not often read as China). The handle of Jazzbass type is maple, as well as the key. 20 frets. The model is equipped with microphones received "fender designed" jazz bass. A volume by microphones, and a tone control.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle of Jazzbass type is very nice, close, sliding wish to recommend for small hands. The bass is not what one might call Light. The maple body is painted in 3 parts fit perfectly, nothing to say, the finish is just perfect focus.
    I have not had to change the setting of the handle, the action is low, no rope frieze, I just recovered slightly microphones, but that is a matter of taste. Mounted strings are not very ple…

    The handle of Jazzbass type is very nice, close, sliding wish to recommend for small hands. The bass is not what one might call Light. The maple body is painted in 3 parts fit perfectly, nothing to say, the finish is just perfect focus.
    I have not had to change the setting of the handle, the action is low, no rope frieze, I just recovered slightly microphones, but that is a matter of taste. Mounted strings are not very pleasant, but it is not a problem. I read young bassists who want to change the pickups, I do not think it is necessary, they do their job very well, and with the mix of the two sounds to cover all styles are obtained. This bass is for me a second low for stay at home (I have a Luthman wave for now)

    SOUNDS

    For what I intended, it is perfect. I play on a ebs head and 2X10 speaker eden. but I work with headphones with a mini vox APBS, which allows me to move me wherever I like. I am a musician from variety ... 45 years old and plays no effect (I abandoned my Trace Elliot compressor long.)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this bass for 24 hours. I played a lot of bass. First bass, Godin, fender Jazzbass us, Leduc masterpieces, Larrivée, Musicman Sterling, Warwick.
    And I had a little all brands second instrument.

    This Squier, for the price is a bargain, this is indisputable, and it competes with models without problem worth double. I do not know about how it ages, but we do not expect a low 300 euros impossible. So if you start at the bottom or if you are confirmed but broke, go, this bass will do just as well as a Mexican (and I know) And remember that it's Squier is written on the handle and not Fender.

    Squier ... so certainly manufactured in the U.S. or in Mexico.

    UTILIZATION

    The Jazz Bass neck is rather thin so very comfortable. Here before I had a Musicman SUB with a much larger set, everything is on the level of preferences, depending on the style, tastes and blah and blah. Personal I prefer to slap the MM humbucker with a single side easel was plenty of room for SLAPER but the sound of a Jazz Bass remains legendary!

    For my part I was looking for a low JB southpaw and cheap to customize. I am right handed so I made the mods to switch to right-handed. Here and there the fact! J'me take for Jimi Hendrix bass ^ ^

    SOUNDS

    This is certainly not the microphones 200 € each but they are still excellent sound. With the tone at zero we have a very round sound. You can really do whatever you want with the tone, whether zero, halfway or completely. To pick it is rock!

    In short it is a low pass over (or not ... here remains to be seen for the metal)

    OVERALL OPINION

    For the Chinese it's really not bad.

    It's been 10 years that I am the bass, I could have paid me U.S. lowest since the time but to make mods galore my favorite from this model and finally it sounds great and I like it very much playing comfort

    Made in Indonesia, 4 strings, 21 frets, 2 Duncan designed pickups jb kind of very good quality for the price. fender easel base handle with a great radius and a great tune, better than many I've played fender. it is very close to the head, and it's very nice. two volumes a tone and jack. Everything is very well finished.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is great in my opinion, this is a jazz bass shape, so super ergonomic (for me it was always the best thing since the 50's) while the handle is super playable, you can go from jazz to rock smoothly with the settings not worth the price it is perfect.

    SOUNDS

    A bass are the fingers that make the sound much, so except for a possible upgrade pickups, 1000boules or more to buy a real good fender (but good huh), frankly better keep it. I use it on almost all my productions, and I'm never disappointed (or those that make me orders for that matter). I record or in a vt4 Ampeg (normally plugged into a guitar cabinet but the same brand 8 * 10), or in a svt 2 or plusgénéralement in my little art tube preamp tube (and it still works as good), to which likes to take note of saturation in the ass, so enjoy! The only flaw is cracking when you move the knobs, but I'll have to motivate myself to put a bomb blow contact.

    OVERALL OPINION

    it's been five years now that I use it, I never had desoucis except those crunches. The value for money is excellent, and the fact that the color is natural wood that we know that it is not plywood. I tried a bunch of other Squier bass that that were not as good ...

    no need to mention everyone know the specs.

    UTILIZATION

    the handle is a true ice slides his own.

    access to acute is a charm.

    ergonomics is good whatever sitting position it tends to lean forward but accotant forearm on the body everything is ok.

    there's no problem getting a good sound.

    SOUNDS

    it is perfect for my musical styles rock, prog, blues, jazz.

    have is not able to get a clear and bold sound without problem, the pickups are a sacred good job.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for ten days.

    I had a budget of $ 600 ie before tax, I tried some other model Ibanez, Cort, Yamaha, ltd, and even a fender Mexican Jazzbass.

    I'll make my own opinion.
    so here I simply can not believe it, I read about 300 critics in the last two months prior to my purchase on the bass and it was only praise to no end, but I was skeptical view the price and when I decided to see it more closely I fell on my ass, the finish is perfect everything is straight and centered on the bridge pickup the key pickgard plate control the black rectangles on the handle the frets are filed down and not hanging the varnish is applied smooth and flawless, then I plugged it into an amp to try and here I must say that I was literally blown away by the sound quality of this low the pickups are powerful but also delivers a sound quality breath away really gets his Jazzbass, the control buttons are very responsive have easily gets the sound you want from very light to very fat, short for the price paid $ 300 cad I just can not believe it, only negative point the bridge is a little cheapette but it's the same job I'm still going to change it to a gotoh 201b-4 and the action was a little high but in turn the maker and voila.

    in conclusion I really do not regret my choice and it has nothing to envy to the Mexican Jazzbass costing 2x the price, impeccable finish and incredible sound for this price it is theft.

    >> I have a band in the upper which can be seen in one day on one side of the handle, not great but you can live with.

    For the price, it's honest, it was wood, it has style.

    UTILIZATION

    Ergonomics is that of a jazz bass. The satin finish of the handle is nice. The body vibrates well.

    The handle was too high at the beginning, after an adjustment is much better, but I think some frets are not super well placed and it is a shame if this handle is really not bad.

    The sound controls are very traditional with Volume volume tone. I would have preferred as qqchose Blend / Volume / Tone but it is personal.

    For the price, same is correct!

    SOUNDS

    With my seymour duncan (SJB1 in SJB2 in neck and bridge) it sounds very good. I have this setup since 2008 and it's a sound that I like for my jazz bass, I'm not tired and I have no discomfort to record live.
    Of course I also like the different sounds (at warwick, musicman, Rickenbaker ...) but this bass type of sound, I do not feel that it could "be better."

    That said with the original pickups was the opposite ... I had to change them.

    To roughly a comparison, I had the same seymour duncan on a low Cort (at about the same rate): the sound was different of course, but mostly it did not sound much, it was less alive, less direct ... difficult to describe. The pickups are not everything, I think that Squier violin gives it a great potential for great sound.

    Originally: sound a little sad, no concern for most concerts rock / pop / etc but it is only correct, no more!

    I note "good" because after 5 years of use I think it has potential to make a great sound (see perfect for a jazz bass but perfection ...). It is not found "stuck" with, it can evolve and it is worth it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    For its price it is a very interesting bass in a standard format and a very nice finish: you can not crash.
    Given its direct competitors it has the advantage of being carved out a decent wood, not the agathis, not Nato, etc..
    We can do something!

    However unlike other enthusiastic reviews I put a big caveat: it is far from perfect. At 300 euros it is normal, the value for money is excellent, but in absolute terms it is correct.

    Will I do it again this choice? In the context yes, I do not regret it! I still live with ;)
    But today no I do not redeem this low I am no longer a student, I have a real job, so I will order my parts from Warmoth or I will consider perhaps a low sandberg. I have a perfect violin, but it is not at all the same price ...

    My second bass!

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    See other opinions! ;)

    UTILIZATION

    - The handle is it nice?

    I find it perfect! This is my second bass, before I played on a stagg who begins to date and I have to say that the race has absolutely nothing to do! That slides alone! The maple neck gives a good slamming her that I love.

    - Access to acute is easy?

    Faith yes, as any jazz bass on anything. After we must admit that this is not the most important when you play bass! ;)

    - Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

    No problem, it's a jazz bass so a fairly common form. Sitting, standing, it adapts to all! Level weight is a little heavy but it is not very disturbing when one is accustomed.

    No problem, it's a jazz bass so a fairly common form. Sitting, standing, it adapts to all! Level weight is a little heavy but it is not very disturbing when one is accustomed.


    - Gets it easy to sound good?

    So I do not have much basis for comparison as my old bass was really bad ... But this little Squier blew me his level! Some even say it is well worth the models Fender Made in Mexico! ;) The Duncan Design pickups are doing their job, you can easily get a well-rounded and more aggressive sound to our desire. I still feel that this bass is the foundation designed for slap: it unravels everything! The sound is ultra slamming and beautiful ... I love it!

    SOUNDS

    - Are they suitable for your style of music?

    It's simple: it is suitable for all! Except perhaps in very heavy metal ... and it remains to be seen! ;) This is a very versatile bass that fits all styles.

    - With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

    I use it mainly in connection to my sound card, so no effect. If I plug in my amp Stagg but rendering is not great ... I'm going to have to invest! : P

    - What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold", ....)?

    Most of the time it's simple: I put all the way! Actually I have not really tried to sound hacked but I'll try it! ;)

    - What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

    I love everything! Which is rare for a bass in this range, as we remember that we are talking about a low less than 400 €!

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?

    It will be two weeks now and I fell in love!

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    Before I had a low Stagg range from a low pack + amp (imagine the quality ...). I hesitated between the Squier and SUB at Sterling. Unable to find the Squier, she immediately liked me.

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?

    Pros: She is beautiful I must admit, it really makes you want to take it and play with. The finish is perfect, no surprises. The sound is great I think, feel ultra comfortable ... no complaints!

    The -: The knobs have no markers, so that it's a bit hard to know where we are ... but is a detail!

    - How would you rate the quality / price?

    For low less than 400 €, it is excellent! So of course it can not be worth the Fender USA, but there is another budget! In any case I think I'll keep it a little while.

    -With experience, you do again this choice?

    Yes without hesitation!

    The handle is a nice olus that I have ever played. Late (very late), pleasant to the touch and easy, regardless of our size of our mimines.

    Ergonomics: I love, good balance, not too heavy (compared to my PB 1979, pfiouu ..). The only difficulty or put his right thumb? On the neck pickup?, On the E string?. A bit uncomfortable in the long run.
    However, more than enough space between the strings and the plate to ensure the "learned" slap.

    Warning to the tendency to curl on the lower strings (adapting his game).

    SOUNDS

    Versatile to a fault, she does everything well. Whatever the style, it integrates smoothly. I play pretty funky, rhythm n blues but also rock, mainstream, Bowie.
    Sustain amazing sound clarity and attacked for a low price of this ...
    My bass teacher borrow me regularly for grooves and slappés Marcusmilleriens MarkKingiens.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Q1: 6 months
    Q2: a dozen
    Q3: Actually, I initially fell for the look. Then she knew unveil its other advantages, widely cited in these lines.
    Q4: RQ / P: hard to beat ...
    Q5: Without the slightest hesitation.

    Only uncertainty: how does it evolve with time and hours of gambling? Certainly not like a real Fender U.S..
    Time will tell. For now, we're happy with us without breaking the bank.

    This is the black body, black pickguard, maple neck with pearl block inlay Jazz Bass by Squier. One of the latest models in their Vintage Modified series. Agathis body with a Poly finish and Alnico magnet pickups. The knobs are volume, volume, tone.

    I was excited about Squier%27s new line. I pulled the trigger on it online for $299 and waited until the FedEx truck lit up my driveway.

    It looks cool. I like the satin finish neck. The body sustains well when the instrument is played acoustically.

    The frets were sharp and the body is very lightweight. I would have much rather paid $349 which is the price tag for the Classic Vibe series and dealt with less shortcomings.

    Just OK. You can tell right away by playing it that it is a cheap instrument. Setup right out of the box was lackluster. The neck buzzed and fretted out in more than one spot. A new set of strings, a humidity controlled room and a set of allen wrenches fixed it eventually.

    This bass has cool factor written all over it. Tonally I wasn%27t in love though, I would highly advise you to check out the Classic Vibe Series Jazz Bass against this.

    Modulus Vintage Jazz

    Squier Vintage Modified Jazz BassPublished on 03/08/04 at 15:00
    I had been looking for a good bass for a long time when I found that I loved the sound of a jazz bass. After playing Fenders (even the American Deluxe models) I wondered if I could ever find a jazz bass that didn't feel chunky, had a great slap tone, and didn't have dead spots all over the fretboard. I encountered this Modulus bass used at a local store and paid $1000 for it.

    First off, this bass is great looking. It looks a lot like a vintage jazz bass with a cream colored body and red toroise shell pickguard. The bass isn't all old-fashioned, though. Modern features make this bass great, with the Bartolini pickups and carbon fiber neck. The Bartolinis provide a warm, detailed tone perfec…

I encountered this Modulus bass used at a local store and paid $1000 for it.

    First off, this bass is great looking. It looks a lot like a vintage jazz bass with a cream colored body and red toroise shell pickguard. The bass isn't all old-fashioned, though. Modern features make this bass great, with the Bartolini pickups and carbon fiber neck. The Bartolinis provide a warm, detailed tone perfect for anything from fingerstyle funk to slap. When I turned the bass and amp up all the way, there was still no noise from the electronics! Although this bass is offered with active electronics, I would be afraid of taking away from the natural warmth of the pickups, which have great clarity anyway. Perhaps the most amazing part of this bass is the neck. It is very fast playing. The carbon fiber creates and incredible look, virtually no warping, incredible sustain, no buzz, and absolutely no dead spots! Lastly, the Gotoh tuners keep this bass in tune forever!

    The only drawback with this bass is the difficulty of reaching the upper register. While the fingerboard is 21 frets, which is average for any bass, the body sticks out very far at the joint, causing a lot of hand strain once you get to the last few frets.

    The construction of this bass is nearly flawless. Each fret is set beautifully. The neck, held on by 4 large bolts, is joined snugly onto the body. The only construction problem I have encountered with this bass is that one of the strap buttons comes loose every once in a while, which I'm sure can easily be fixed.

    This bass is great for anyone who likes jazz basses but doesn't want to put up with the buzz, chunky feel, and mediocre sound of a Fender. If you've ever wished you could find a jazz bass with an unbelievable Bartolini tone, great playability, and no fret buzz or dead spots, this is your bass!

    SOUNDS

    I do not have a bass amp, mas a keyboard amp (Peavey KB60).
    The Seymour Duncan Designed original seem a little weaklings in output level. The bridge pickup sounds great, very funky, and restores the good slap. We also have a sound that reminds me of my Ricken 4001. The neck pickup is when its a bit too medium for my taste and lacks bass. The mixture of the two is satisfactory, the tone knob doing a good job.
    on the other hand I regret that the buttons are not notched with benchmarks, as we come not to quickly locate a setting, there is no visible indication, always tweak.
    To summarize, the bridge pickup is good, and the neck pickup a little disappointing.

    OVERALL OPINION

    My having been four days.
    What I like most c'es its look and handle. Its also pickup anyway.
    What I like least is its miro round, lacking in bass, roundness and fishing.
    I think it's a great bass that can be improved by changing the original pickups with DiMarzio Jazzbass (150 euros for two), and there will be a "real" jazz bass.
    I wanted to buy a bass for a long time, and I had a rather limited budget.
    I always crush on the form and its Jazzbass, but it was always a dream. With this Squier, the dream becomes reality (the instrument), and almost a Jazzbass (for audio).
    Brief for the price, Jazzbass, there will not better. The Mexican, although more expensive does not exceed it (in my opinion). The Squier is 385 euros, a Southwestern at least 700 euros.
    Value / unbeatable price.

    Small addition: I plugged directly into my mixing desk (akai mg614) and Parametric EQ fiddling, I get in my Jazzbass SOUND jbl Listens. So the microphones can have the home his Jazzbass, it depends what you plug it into .....

    the weight is not negligible, provide a comfortable strap.

    SOUNDS

    As said in other reviews: everything thoroughly, and it sounds!
    the moment we love this kind of sound is really perfect, but the possibilities are more limited than on other basses, it must know what you research.

    failure to play on a micro brings a breath (normal for this kind of microphones it seems).

    OVERALL OPINION

    Received yesterday, my mind is still fresh, but enthusiastic enough.

    for that price, the result is quite exceptional, both in his luthier.
    looking for a low single with a little retro cool is a good choice.

    I had to adjust the height a little strings out of the box, but no faults.

    But watch a good bass is not everything, a good amp is obviously necessary!
    at least for less than 300 euros, the price / quality ratio is unbeatable!

    OVERALL OPINION

    it's been a week now that I use, I set up ropes DR Black Beauty, a regal! it has everything to Jazzbass before the one I tried Jazzbass Southwestern and American right is on it's different, but that does not justify such a price differential (and even tried a Mexican real bad and ended worse than the bcp my Squier)
    this choice I would do without hesitation! I also recommend a good one that would sound Jazzbass for 800 euros less as at the beginning who did not know which model to look (it is so easy to take in hand!) I put 10 for its excellent value for money

    I play more pop / rock / reggae / blues. The sound suits me perfectly, it remains very true to the style Jazz Bass.
    I play with a little Peavey Max 158 amp, not powerful enough to fully convey the low frequencies. However, backed with a good sound card via the headphone amp and a good downstream, there is an excellent frequency response and a nice fat well. Plugged into an amp MarkBass is royal!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use my squier jazz bass since I started and I do not change soon. The sound it delivers is for me a reference (the reference Jazz Bass).
    I'm not exceptionally excited about the look of this bass (very personal opinion), however the finish maple (light wood) is very pleasing to the eye and touch. However, its relatively high density makes it heavy to carry wood, but provides excellent sustain.

    Few problems finishing, particularly at the graduate non knobs and jack has a tendency to unscrew.

    The price / quality ratio is unbeatable. Even if this low is not an arrow was enough to have some fun, for a while. Excellent choice to start and grow with good feelings.

    With experience, I do not find my way back to this model (question of aesthetics) but if I could keep the same sound quality, I say yes without hesitation.

    UTILIZATION

    Handle very fine vritable a highway! Access to acute sure is easy, especially since it has only 20 frets! damage to the intro of Aeroplane! I put only 9 for this reason!

    SOUNDS

    Its very Jazzbass, tested on an Fender Rumble 100W, AC growls! I play everything from Eagles to RATM through the Red Hot, I found everything I need!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have tried that (long) in the store, just getting started I was already madly! I tried a parallel PB Fender and a Fender JB (1200 and € 650 respectively), no comparison! Fender advantage? Not at all! The squier, for less than half the JB delivers much better…

    I have tried that (long) in the store, just getting started I was already madly! I tried a parallel PB Fender and a Fender JB (1200 and € 650 respectively), no comparison! Fender advantage? Not at all! The squier, for less than half the JB delivers much better sound! AND also the best PB I tried! This little critter has a price / quality ratio stunning, unbeatable. I never tried the best at this price. And besides she looks great!
    In addition it is found to € 277 from Thomann (do not rely on the icon "Not available, delivery in 1 month," I had a month of time expected and finally she left two days after the order ... ), at that price it was a shovel in ibanez, an AK47 reformed in Cort and Yamaha certainly worse while you are a beginner, intermediate, like it or wishing to be confirmed in search of a favorite please This Squier waiting for you! And worth its price laaaaaaaargement!

    I agree with the others.

    UTILIZATION

    Access to acute is very easy.
    The bass is heavy enough.
    Easily obtained a good sound slap in the sin is based on the microphones.
    The handle is very comfortable.

    SOUNDS

    Finally the sound I was looking for!
    The sound is very clear, the bass is great for slap, so I put 10!
    The sound is versatile, whatever the style.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 8 months and it still makes me drool!
    The quality / made is fantastic. The seller of the store where I bought it told me that this bass was selling like hot cakes, the client was very happy.
    I highly recommend, if you want the funk, slap, ...
