I found this bass on a local classified site, and have never seen a Squier like it. Is it real? Or is it just some obscure model that I've never seen..
Thanks! |

Was doing some research on it. Never did find the era. Possibly early 00's.
The only thing that bugs me is the knobs. They don't look right, compared to other pics I've seen. They look clunky, plastic, and out of place.

John K Custom Basses | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Thousand Oaks, CA | | well, if it's spelled' Squire' then it probably is a fake, since it's actually spelled 'Squier". 
i can't imagine going to the trouble of faking a Squier, or faking a Yugo for that matter.
.........BTW, i'm not putting them down at all. i recently bought a nice SS jag bass for my wife and it's actually a very good bass. i paid $156 for it shipped, brand new. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Massachusetts | | | That is a MD-4; I have one the exact same color, but the knobs are wrong in this picture.
Very lightweight, and I think a 32"scale. Sounds pretty good for a cheap bass... |
