I've been looking for a P-bass and have found an 80's Squire that was made in Japan. I admit I'm not that familiar with MIJ Squires. Can anyone provide any first-hand knowledge? Thanks.

If it sounds good and feels good, then it is a good bass.

The MIJ Squiers have a great reputation around here. If it's a decent price, scoop it up!

I love mine. If frets are in decent shape and truss has life left and no neck twists etc... Get it. Usually you can get them pretty cheap

I've got a nice 32" scale. got it set up with Tomastik flats. Great bass.

If it feels fine then GO!
I have one, -82 jv, that I love, sometimes more than my
MIA 1975 precision.
It´s the sunburst in the middle.
The Jazz bass is a MIJ squier jv -83
that forced me to stop being a p-bass-only
person. So sweet!
