Continued from Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 2)

From part 2:
A good instrument is a good instrument, no matter where it is made. Sure, there's a certain amount of cachet for a USA-made instrument and/or one made in Japan (ironic, I know), but really plenty of the Mexican-, Chinese-, and Indonesian-made Squiers and Fenders are really lovely to play and to look at.

It might as well be the motto of TalkBass: Play what you like; don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

:cool:
 
So I have this, original except for the covers:

Thanks! I keep 'em there just for visual purposes. I use the pickup cover to rest my thumb on, though. I took off the bridge cover yesterday because I want to be able to play palm muted on this bass.
 
I just picked up one of these for just over $200. Pine body, vintage yellow finish. It had some dings on the back.

It had everything I like--extremely light but balances well, small frets, great single coil p sound. I took it home and did a little work to the nut, and added some lightweight tuners I had in a drawer. Took the gloss off the neck, removed the pick guard and the tug bar.

A really great bass with a distinctive sound
