Everything is said elsewhere.

UTILIZATION

I had much less trouble finding the right rglages with this bass with my active bass of yesteryear who had 4 buttons ...
Here I have a knob neck pickup, a knob microwave bridge and a knob tone (bass / treble) I play easily between those who get along very well rglages.

Ergonomics pleasant, has a jazz bass is all the same, it is always fed.
CASC is the acute apprciable.
It PSE heavy but throw in a look if you feel fatigue coming, you forget seeing this color, varnish, these inlays in the handle OUAHHH

SOUNDS

Easy ' have a sound in the treble slamming.
Or a serious and well rounded

Or between the two, just enough treble in a funky groove that his own country.

When I push my 100W Fender amp this bass m'pate each time the sound is compressed and wondering what would be a Jazz Bass mexico which would have cost 300 more

I play a little funk, a little bit I slapper, rock to mdiator.
Sometimes I use an Ibanez distortion or overdrive my home-made history fun ..

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years now and I'm Entirely satisfied. If I had to buy a new bass, it would be a low lgre more and finer. So its kind, this bass suits me perfectly.

What I like most is the character of rock and roll bass. Both in the look in the sound.
What I like less is what makes it charming is the size of the beast, its weight. This is a clumsy heavy facade, she may be surprised by its accessibility.

Very good quality price ratio, especially for 280 now ^ ^.

OVERALL OPINION

My opinion is simple:

I spotted right away by new music store at 379 euros
Just hang his aesthetic eye and just know a little bit to the instrument immediately be questioned by the beast.
Micro-quality, exemplary finish, looks nice and especially when we feel this bass in the hands of serious, reliability. that is not a toy that is a musical instrument.
So why at this price? when you hear it surpass some model Mexican Fender?
It is the kind of opportunity that I think you should enter!
ps: I had to OCCAZ for 200 euros as new ...
huereusement that it is still stuff like that in this world of gross!

Manufacturing Indonesia
for characteristics see the vendors.
I want to say that side violin and finishes, it is really well done, I paid attention to everything after the notice of Fperrenoud.
I think he's falling on the wrong lot.ça happened to me with an Epiphone ...


UTILIZATION

Purchased the evening of my repeat, I was very pleased with the comfort of the handle, the balance of the whole, and potentiometers that are used for once a really awesome sound.
my group enjoyed its sound.
I play resumed from funk to soul and pop, and I no longer have to look for settings on the amp is the volume pot of the beautiful that it's happening now!


SOUNDS

Slamming funk sound muffled the sound of dub, a wide range of grades is offered to the bassist.
I play with on Ampeg, Behringer, with AmpliTube svx pc, well it goes really well.
I just blast with my pedals (overdrive, chorus, EQ and chained in that order). but a noise suppressor I would think the matter.
really beautiful sounds
the pickups are seymour duncan designed, and they are not bad at all.


OVERALL OPINION

I have been using today after having tried many times to shop and once in rehearsal.
I have 5 different models of bass and this one is still at hand.
really, I prefer to invest in this low was 320 euros in a fender mexico which is worth double but not necessarily the same level for money.

I would do this purchase with your eyes closed

I'm disappointed by the finish.
1 - There is a big knot on the body. It looks like a big knob on top of the instrument. It looks awful.
2 - There was too much varnish under the 2nd fret and I had to polish it. I find such faults are not acceptable.
3 - The back of the neck has ditches and it looks like corrugated iron. The difference is almost 1mm deep!! I had never seen this before, even with very cheap bass guitars.

There are a lot of small other faults: the pickups seem to be too wide compared to the space between the strings, the binding is not varnished everywhere, the 1/4" connector is not tight, etc.


UTILIZATION

Once I set the instrument, the ergonomics are perfect and the sound is really good. But the faults on the neck are a pity!

SOUNDS

Good sound for funk. I don't use my effect pedals anymore: they are not required. I plug it directly into the amp with flat EQ settings and the sound is nice. I didn't change the strings.

OVERALL OPINION

Compared with another Jazz bass copy (an old Session), the Squier VM sounds better and I don't regret having bought it. Maybe I was unlucky and got a faulty one. It's a pity and I cannot forgive this. My next instrument won't be a Squier but a Fender.

This is a Mexican made Squier guitar. Squier is made by Fender, and generally is their discount models. This is based off of a Vintage Jazz Bass. However, it's not the same quality as the actual vintage ones (Fender doesn't really make many guitars of the same quality, and if they do, they're painfully expensive). There are 3 knobs (one for each pickup, neck and bridge, and then a master tone knob). As the bass has two knobs for each pickup, there is no selection. The bass has a maple body with a maple neck and fingerboard as well. There are 20 frets and a Standard Fender Jazz bridge. Overall it's a standard bass.

UTILIZATION

It's pretty easy to play this bass, as it doesn't have any major flaws. It's not the smoothest playing bass in the world, but it could be much worse. It's a reasonably heavy bass but it's not going to hurt your back as much as a thick vintage P-bass potentially would. Getting a good sound out of it is pretty tricky unless you change the pickups.

SOUNDS

As I said in the last paragraph, I don't think this bass sounds particularly good. However, the trick with Squiers in general is basically to gut them and get new pickups and wiring. The main reason that Squiers are so much cheaper than their Fender counterparts is that the pickups and wiring are worse. Therefore, a simple rewiring and installing new pickups will solve that problem. They probably still won't be as finely tuned or set up as nice as a real Jazz Bass but you can have that fixed as well. This makes this option far cheaper than buying a vintage bass. Therefore, while this bass doesn't sound that good on its own, it does have the potential to sound good. It can sound thick, warm, and smooth like a traditional Fender Jazz bass if you install the right pickup. Otherwise, it's more dead and flat-sounding.

OVERALL OPINION

I like the price of this bass the best. I don't like the fact that you have to do a lot of work on it to get it to sound good, but that's a fair trade. It just depends on whether you have the time or the inclination to get the right kind of sound for it. Having a good idea about what kind of pickups to install in it would help too. I've played many other kinds of Jazz basses, most of them better than this one, but this one is still good.
