Do Imports Devalue The Domestic Model Basses?

[Bass Viking]

"Hand-made", for example, sounds very old world and focused on high quality. But I've found issues with high end "hand-made" basses that you'd probably never find on a Squier (not talking about Sadowsky here as they are mostly CNC'd and are very consistent from what I've seen).

+1. I mean, Wishbasses are handmade.

Once I played a Squier VM jazz I never wanted a Fender again
