UTILIZATION

The finish is good but very simple, despite the absence of patent (as opposed to models jap, us and mexico), the handle is well shaped, the frets are well polished, I who have a Jazzbass mexico deluxe any of later found my bearings on it. All playing techniques either in agreements, tapping, slap etc. go smoothly, we do not tire. The weight is particularly weak, it is the lightest bass I've ever played and this should be highlighted in the data sheet, because with this low, you can work longer without breaking the bank back or thigh . The projection is good and it means well without amp. The factory setting is for once correct, apart from the correctness of one or two strings, but the action is and the curve of the handle is good.

SOUNDS

The microphone is surprising in this price range, this bass gives off an already good sound without being plugged confirms this impression when connected to an amp, it has the grain one would expect from a precision, c is exactly the sound I was looking for. The tone knob astonishes by its efficiency and offers a wide range of colors to use as musical styles covered. This instrument is more versatile than it seems and is suitable for all styles of metal to jazz to funk, it also responds very well slap, smack notes without too much aggression and maintain a good foundation in the bass, the notes sound dead without difficulty. The game is promoted in accordance with a beautiful clarity in the midrange / treble with the tone at the bottom. The sounds go well saturated and the game also fingered as a pick gives full satisfaction. In the sound recording is flattering and goes well in a mix without back background noise or unwanted buzz as long as the settings remain reasonable. That's exactly what I wanted and I much prefer my Cort Curbow it replaced. The finish of my Mexican Jazzbass deluxe is better, but apart from the active electronics more flexible, this beautiful Indonesian not be ashamed and may hold the high.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three months. I am very satisfied and value for money is unbeatable. I would do without hesitation the same choice, especially given its weight despite the size to dimensions Fender. Only the hardware could be improved but it is easy to replace the mechanical and the bridge, which it says are correct for the price. I do not intend to replace the electronics that is very effective. The new Squier instruments are far from the "cheap" who succeeded the legendary Japanese first. No short if you have a very tight budget and want a real precision, buy a Squier Vintage Modified or classic.
