Yeah! When I try in store, I had a small branch Hartke very nice, with an effect that I love (it seems to me that the compressor) or even the worst riffs the slaps sound great!

Channel and affects stocky, fairly dense, so trs living, this is a request set, personal, I do not want more than the Saddle ...
Frtes 20, Jazz Bass pickups with Duncan Designed Alnico (As Squier can be for the Fender, it's sub-brand of Seymour).
3 knobs traditional Tone down, and the rest for the microphones.

SOUNDS

For the grunge, it comes in, I play aisment on 4 strings, and sounds!
The R and G strings, sounds like we must wait for a Jazz Bass.
Everything is by appointment.


OVERALL OPINION

Its a little less than a year, that our love story begins.
I wanted a Jazz ringing, and I did not put in a 1000 euros lower, hence my choice for Squier.
With the exprience and even with a larger budget, I would do this choice.
What I like most is that this bass really rpond Submitted it a nice face, I love the light wood, so I served it sounds like I had rarely heard in this budget is no more, no less than a Fender Mexican itch stuff, see more ...
Great artists have their signatures in Squier, and I do not think that will only be commercial, I think they find their accounts, and I even saw him play a Squier Tim Commerford in concert, while has no signature home, the same right dmontre a guarantee of quality.
So a report qualitprix more than respectable for 300/350 uros, to say nothing, except the mcaniques a little cheap, and painted the back with his free-standing as big sisters, the Easel sensitive except RAS.

CF further notice, I will not do better.

I put 8, because the knobs are average.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice. I am a guitarist to the origin and this is my first bass. Apart from some pain initially caused my habits as a guitarist, I soon enjoyed playing this instrument.

Very good ergonomics. It's heavy, but it is a low, nothing extraordinary about that! Access to acute is very easy as I think of all the jazz bass.

We get it a good sound easy, even if I'm repeating myself, the knobs are very ways: they act only on a very short part of their race. They make me think of more than switches potentiometers. But nothing insurmountable, there is a good sound easily.

SOUNDS

I started on bass after years of guitar package. So I try my hand full of style and surprise me to enjoy playing styles that did not interest me at all before because not worn on the guitar.
I find this extremely versatile instrument. We can play for the big fat type vintage rock Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, U2's ... but the Funk (slap it very well), reggae, pop, punk, The variety of ... It's harder to make the metal, but with a good amp and good effect, it must be possible.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I use it. I had not really had to try other instruments, I bought it by chance really. However, I have tried a lot since, but none made me want to change it.
Excellent low to start, see more ...

See site Squier.

UTILIZATION

Simple, one branch turns the knobs and rings. Well, it took me even when 2 or 3 hours to really rgler: Filing nut, neck tension, action, accuracy. It n'tait RULES lot but it's really the best.

I illico chang the bridge for a Babicz spcial Jazz Bass (no holes do) that allowed me to rgler even better sustain and gain (the good dj trs origin).

I am waiting for a prampli Intgr Auderer JZ3 Audio-VB-2B because it is true that the electronic part is really "cheap". It could not be rotten as knobs.

SOUNDS

Besides the price, and the mouth of the bass that's what made me crack. I was looking for a DIFFERENT sound of my Rickenbacker 4003 and my Hofner 500 / 1 ct and what I am not dcu.
I highly recommend watching this gives a real good ide:

OVERALL OPINION

Bon gnral, trs good in view of the price. It's really good to start low and you can easily upgrade later.
The only question is: how will it age??

Made in Indonesia is a replica of Fender Jazz Bass 70s.
I watched you leave the technical characteristics in others we know what we are talking about

UTILIZATION

The ergonomics are great, well balanced, the handle is very comfortable and you feel immediately "at home". I do not know if this makes sense but I think it's a low "obvious."

SOUNDS

Easier to get a sound that's difficult:

Neck pickup volume 100%
Bridge pickup volume 0%
Tone 75% serious
Typed his 60's near the Memphis R & B
Neck pickup volume 100%
Bridge pickup volume 100%
Tone 75% acute
Typed his 70's perfect for slap
Neck pickup volume 50%
Bridge pickup volume 100%
Tone 50%
Good for rock

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost two years now and I have nothing positive to say about this bass in particular and the series in general.
I have not tried anything else before, but I had the opportunity to try others after ... I remain loyal.
I intend to buy me the model Fretless always in this series. Too bad it does reissue of the '62 Precision VM I cracked straight away.

Everyone falls agree (at least for this series) customers, dealers, critics ... this series is really great, the Jazz Bass remains about her the most versatile bass Squier (Rhythm n Blues, Blues, Jazz, Fusion, Funk and even Rock (for the Metal / Punk, opt for Precision).

Of course this avalanche of compliments is a low midrange below (do not think it worth a standard set of Fender - need to compare what is comparable and stay sane!).

UTILIZATION

The handle is a pure delight just ... Beginner I possessor of another 5-string bass with a handle it as natural but this one is purely and simply a joy at this rate there
Regarding ergonomics I think I Jazz Bass is a reference standard can speak both body and in terms of access to the various knobs ... The weight is so low but I prefer a heavy weight pen so it is matter of personal opinion ... As for the access to treble it is done without any hindrance

For sound: if you are looking for an instrument in these rates then you will leave with a blow if this style of bass you are looking for roundness and warmth to the program

SOUNDS

For sound: if you are looking for an instrument in these rates then you will leave with a blow if this style of bass you are looking for roundness and warmth to the program

It can go from edgy rock to reggae and then make a detour plans and return of jazzy fusion
Obviously this is not the model qu'ill you need if you want to take Tom Araya

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it there may have about a month and still can not believe ...
I actually tested a few models and wanted to offer me a Serie Mexico but in the end NO! nothing to see and provide value for money you need to type in the high end for better then a standard model sounds downright less
For more: favorite for the overall package: color lacquer finish and its
For less: a tripod is required for the specific shape of the bass does not maintain balanced on a tripod fixed

Quality Award for the report: Unstoppable

If I ever do it I certainly do it again: 1 for the instrument 2 to the surprise and joy of discovering truly on my amp

The Squier VM Jazz Bass Jazz Bass is a pretty standard.

A neck pickup, a bridge pickup.
Gain setting for each microphone.
A setting of general tone.

My model is very well finished. Good mechanical strength sweat.

UTILIZATION

This is my first bass, I can hardly compare.
For my part, it seems to me entirely correct in terms of ergonomics.
I soon had the sound I wanted, despite my lack of experience.

Missing a mark on the knobs. It is not possible to see how they are resolved.

SOUNDS

I quickly found the settings that allow me to have the sound I wanted.
The standard setting in Bass, the two pickups and tone at the bottom center, seduced me from the first test.
Secondly, I love the sound of the neck pickup alone. Playing with the tone, we arrive at a sound close to the bass that I like also particularly.
The bridge pickup alone seems too aggressive. But, he adds slamming necessary when mixing the two pickups. And it offers an interesting opening to a new palette of sound (for example coupled to an effect).

I play almost exclusively on computer simulation amp and very little about my little Fender amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 years. This is my first bass and I am very happy.
I still have not changed my strings and I made the necessary tweaks myself.

I have not tried many model because in this price range, it was almost the only model available.

The lack of reference on the settings a bit bored, but I will read it.

Value for money excellent.
With experience, I would do this choice without hesitation. I think my second bass could be a Squier Precision.

Bought used but new condition, a pleasure to handle comfort level as good or better than a Mexican!

UTILIZATION

With this bass you can play everything ... Its precise hot reggae rock pop finally just juggle the knobs, great for setting a good slap with the stick! Attention to the fragile backs it weighs a bit ...

SOUNDS

I play on Fender Rumble 100 an ideal couple my personal love this bass and I sold a Fender Squier Mexico to buy the 200 euro ... I regret it.

OVERALL OPINION

I like it, buy I keep the eyes closed .. Well, almost great value for money!

The basic characteristics are known and I will not

Mine was fitted with a Badass II bridge and a bone nut ... It is fortunate because the original bridge is a crap ... Just a piece of folded sheet, but let's not be too demanding given the price of new .....

UTILIZATION

I have a little trouble with the handle, yet I resolved the best .... I find it "difficult" and more "natural" compared to my Fender Jazz bass Mex ...

Very late to the head, and difficult access to the treble is a fabrication that is worth its price

Perhaps a matter of habit .... but I'd like to change it .... To be continued

The bass is quite heavy and the balance is average (take a JB U.S. on your lap and you will understand ...)

I said (again. ..).... Although the price / quality ratio is excellent, the bass is absolutely not comparable to a U.S. .... JB For cons, the JB Mex not worth the advertised price .... and the U.S. .... and Ben YMMV .....

SOUNDS

I rather play Jazz / Blues and Rock from time to time ....

The pickups are very original ways ... (very subjective opinion) very Medium / high, crystalline and without heat ....; (Growl?? Is not it?) ....

I love the warm sound and "Growl" (as they say ....)
I replaced the microphone by a Neck Fender reissue 75 (it seems more likely that it is "funk") purchased on Ebay U.S. ..... AND, OF REAL SERIOUS Y'a .......
Rather accustomed to using the neck pickup .... The microwave bridge is an original horror, except buggers ....

I changed the knobs by CTS, and changed the jack ...

Finally, my bass has no relation to the original model

I forgot, I use a Minimark MarkBass that I carry around everywhere ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months, bought a second bass ....


For 250 € paid to OCCAZ with bone nut and Badass ... I'm happy ... especially with the micro chgt ....

Rest the handle that can better ....

To conclude: I love the body of this bass, light wood, the look ....
The pickups are a horror ..... A CHANGE!

The quality / price is GREAT!

I eyeing the real (Fender 75 ).... but need a package Noros!

Musically!

...

UTILIZATION

Stunning for the price! Small flat on electronics, it merdouille since the beginning at the microphone volume knob bridge crachouille it to death.
Once in position, there is nothing to say against it!
The handle is a delight and the instrument is well balanced.

SOUNDS

Knob playing with the "tone" and the two microphones, we have all the existing sounds handy. We pass a sound "noise" (saturated and métalllique) to a sound Dub / Reggae / Funk without any problem and without any of the two sounds do "knock"!
At all good this bass!
Indeed DI Tech 21 Programmable Bass EHX Muff, EHX Bass Balls, Berhinger Phaser.
Amp Marshall VBC 810, Ampeg B2R.

I love this bass, I think a low pass on higher-end when my finances permit me, but I intend to put the package because it broke a bunch of low average range for me. Given the price OCCAZ 'of this little gem, I will keep with great pleasure!

OVERALL OPINION

The price / quality ratio is excellent, I recommend it to anyone who intends to put the bass without breaking the bank.
Yes I have tried quite low so far (SDGR Ibanez, Rickenbacker 4001, Ibanez Blazer ...). I'm used to this instant coffee.

What I like least is the electronics that do not seem to me very carefully!
I love everything else, the weight, his look, his neck, his sound!

Without any hesitation I will make that choice, I think a while before I buy, I look for this low price range. Big winner!
To get better you have to spend much more!

Asia but very good, and ALL IN MAPLE. " black mark very 70's ..

UTILIZATION

handle very fine at the nut, and very large after the 12th fret, to love! I have the same full-fender usa (like marcus miller inactive) crate ash, and this is not the same race. .. Rican is the least heavy. the pickups are far superior to su-mounted Chinese Squier, but it is not the same price!

SOUNDS

at head, the neck was bent like a bow, a huge hollow to the 5 to the 9th fret. very high and the strings .. I therefore fitted extra light strings, adjusted the truss rod for hours, changed the bridge, tighten the Mecas, and finally I have a nice bass. but it remains a squier indonesia! the pickups are very weak people and treble.

OVERALL OPINION

a good deal anyway, but rather for beginners, because if you leave home, or improperly adjusted, it is a good low "school"! and of course far removed from old squier japan. and of course USA. his look is really good, between rock and sixties. a timeless look, and how beautiful everything maple at this price!

A style coffee, but that would certainly Squier Fender few pale ...
The handle is very long.
Overall weight a bit heavy after 3 to 4 hours of snooze '

UTILIZATION

Handle more than pleasant and very easy to use. However for beginners, it is not easy to properly remove your fingers at the fair at ranges ...

SOUNDS

As a group, we rock, rock'n'roll, pop and varieties. It adapts to almost any style.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its purchase in April 2007. I started taking private lessons from its acquisition.
I have not tried many other models, but the Jazz Bass has always been my heart bass. Style, sound incredible.
Buy a touch too expensive compared to some stores, but I remain very fond of my place of purchase for the relationship, the customer service and friendliness of the team, -)
