I've played 2 vintage ones and a few CIJ models. The vintage ones were a bit milder and thinner in tone. Still sounded great, but much less output, more laid back and not as growly and punchy. All of the CIJ models that I have played have been very growly and punchy and much more modern...

I'm really excited about these, but also I'm kind of unsure about how they'll turn out. I've been thrilled with Squier's quality until the most recent VM Jaguar and Jazzmaster guitar models. They had sharp frets, were too heavy, weird bridges, too much finish on the neck, etc. I hope these feel...

Mine was an epiphone accu bass p bass copy. The older one with the hockey stick headstock. I bought it used for $99 in 2001 from music go round in Cary, NC. About a month or so later the pickup broke, it literally fell apart. So it kinda sat in my bedroom at my parent's house for a long time...

I know I already answered p bass, but I feel like I need to actually mention that I used to play in a pop punk band and during my time with that band, I used a P bass, a Jazz bass, and a stingray. All of them worked great, out of all 3 of those I settled on my MIA p bass as my personal favorite...

p bass. any p bass.

the strings on that bass are about a mile off the fretboard!!!

That looks awesome! what model is it?

I have the 25 and I love it! It sounds great, and gets a nice orangey gain that I love! All in an apartment practice amp size!

Who the hell can really pick up a bass with a thick poly finish and tell whether it is plywood or alder?!? Seriously. Who cares if it is plywood, if it's $50 and it feels good to you, and you want to mod it anyway, do it. Granted I haven't done a comparison with p basses. But I own an MIM fender...

I couldn't possibly disagree more with everything you said. Why would it ever be a bad thing that a bass is well made? Mustangs, both the guitars and the basses were always made to the same quality and with the same care, and of the same quality materials as the strats, teles, p basses and j...

As far as I know the 1000's aren't available in stores yet. At least the shop that I've played the 500 in has told me that they haven't shipped yet.

The bass player from The Receiving End of Sirens used one.

I don't see why you would even ask that. Especially given the huge increase in popularity of Squier guitars and basses with professional level musicians. The CV and VM series are great instruments, and incredibly popular, it would make no sense at all for them to discontinue the squier line. I...

Wow! That's a hell of a deal! GET IT!
