Am I wrong for this?

[Tropic]

After listening and watching this video, I like the squier tone more than I do the Fender tone.

No one's blaming you.
I love it too!
All it needs is some tort

 

[poorbassist15]

I shall buy one now. The Squiers sound Tighter than the Fenders, more focused.

 

[M0ses]

YES!!!! YOU ARE EVIL!!! HERETIC!!!

 

[J. Crawford]

This has been done before.. Yes, they sound great.

Good choice on either.

the 50's p Squire wins
the P the fender wins
and the CS wins for me. ok i stand corrected the slap tone on the neck pickup ont he squire is amazing

but that 50's CV is sick

 

[thobbinghotrod]

It's really hard to make the call because it seems none of the fenders have new strings and it sounds like all of the Squiers do.

And you base this on what information?

I agree with you Tropic, you're not alone. If i had the funds and felt the need, I would have all three of them. The 50s Pbass looks killer, and i love the sounds of the 60s jazz.

The Fender jazz sounds better to my ears than the Squier, but the 50's and 60's Squier P sound better than their Fender counterparts. This has been pretty much my experience IRL as well. I changed out the pickups on my Squier jazz and it sounds as nice as any MIA Fender now.

 

[Tropic]

Guess this is proof you don't need to pay hundreds of dollars for a great sounding instrument. You may get a better build quality and a little sound for that $1000+ instrument but if you need something that sounds almost the same for less, then here it is.

I have had the squier 50's CV for 3 months got it for 240$ with a seymour duncan pick up , its gotten alot of use its my main bass.

But i wish i could have heard how it sounded stock it came with the duncan pickup allready in it

a Squire CV Jazz? Changed the pickups to what?

I am considering buying the CV Jazz, the price is already a month's salary here, what more a MIA Fender.. So probably a CV and a change in pups would do me..

My ears, listen again, it's hard not to hear that the Fender Precision has old strings on it.

btw i almost clicked BIN on this auction but i cant afford to own 2 CV's, not a bad deal , and no its not mine.

i too have heard this video 3 or 4 times and always thought the fender jazz sounded better , i got a CV jazz that was a little beat up used for like 200$ and i sold it as soon as i got the CV P , dont get me wrong there noth great basses but i think the P basses sound better overall.

I've commented before on this video on a different thread before. I would concur that the strings do NOT sound like they are anywhere near the same. Some of them really sound more dead.

Fender '75 Reissue pups. Made an amazing amount of difference. It sounds HUGE now and as nice as any Fender I've played regardless of price.

I was just about to say that. Yes, I agree, it did sound like those Fender strings were definatley older

 

[Mr. Mig]

Nothing wrong with a Squier.
