Squire by Fender Affinity Jazz V

I just picked one of these cheapies, ( new under $200. ) & totally love it. The fit & finish is superb, ( would be even at 3 times the price ) the fretwork is spot on, neck pocket nice & snug, the neck profile is fast & very comfortable,, tuners will do,, thick bent plate bridge will stay on,, passive single coils sound good, ( but have upgraded )

I've done a couple of mods, ( as always ), i've added,
Schaller Straploks
Fender SCN Samarium Cobalt pickups
painted the pickguard black,, ( too impatient, while waiting for a guard from Jeanies )

all in all, these Squiers are killer basses,, if you've got one, go ahead & post a photo.
