    Squier Mikey Way Signature Mustang

    I played one of these yesterday at Sam Ash. The thing sounds and feels great IMO. I'm not crazy about the color though. How does the tone compare to the VM Mustang and the SS Jag? Only short scale I've ever picked up btw.

    I'm convinced that Squier basses sound as good as Fender

    Is it used? I'd love to try one out!

    I've never heard of that model. Where did you find it? I personally love my Squier Jazz!

    It works for me. I guess everyone is different. Whatever feels best to you is the right way!

    Ow Ow Ow!!!

    I'm just a beginner, so I really haven't found "my" best position yet. Playing sitting down does seem to bother my right wrist more than standing. When standing, I keep my thumb anchored on the pickup at about belt level. My headstock generally points to about 10 o'clock

    Squier J Bass Pickup

    Sounds like a plan! The bass does have a good sound, at least to my untrained ear!

    Squier J Bass Pickup

    Not really any sound. It may get a buzz if you push a string down and touch the pickup. I had it checked at a guitar shop and they said it was dead.

    Squier J Bass Pickup

    Thanks for the info. The Squier I have is a cheapo made in Indonesia. Good enough to learn on though. The bridge p/u just quit. Is it worth putting a set of good ones in this bass or should I go cheap?
