a few months ago, i was was given a lot of flack here, because i wrote that squire basses were begginer basses at best. and they did not have the same build quality and wood alder to be exact. and so i made the suggestion that fender could make a decent fender bass with alder if made overseas to cut cost and now we have the modern player. fender made, alder wood. im just saying

Despite my immediate urge to go all grammar-nazi on you, this post made me laugh. I never saw your original post, but this is pretty funny to me.
There's nothing special about alder. It's a cheap wood that's in good supply, which is why Fender basses were made from it in the first place.
Now if you could just learn to spell Squier and improve on your grammar and punctuation, you would be given more slack and less flack. If you're ESL, never mind.
Oh, and ... what?
Hi.
Perhaps if You didn't try so hard, you'd actually get the message through. Whatever that may be

I thought that's how the Squier line began..overseas,high quality,very well respected instruments.
ok - here we go. I have MTDs and a Squier Deluxe Active Jazz V. Its my regular go to bass. I have played every gig for the last 2 years with it. I sold my MIM Fender Jazz to buy it because it was so much better than the Fender all around. I swapped out the hardware and electronics and this thing shreds!!!
Heeeeeeere we go. I'm waiting for the first rage post...
Not quite a rage post, but we're warming up
. Don't let the trolls get to you. 
I own a 1980's Squier bass, and it's actually an excellent quality bass.
Also, the new Squiers are quite the excellent basses.

the point is. instead of giving us the squires vm, classic vibe imagine how much better it would have been if they had made them by fender. how the value would be much better, and with the mp you can buy it and play it at a gig that same night witout having to worrry about the squire logo. and it cost roughly the same as the classic vibe new
If you're worrying about the logo methinks some more practice is in order for your sloppy chops.
Besides, Peavey already won this battle. I'm just sayin'...
Wood alder. Alder wood. Fender made. Squire.
Dripping sap. Wood. Alder made Fender. Fender made wood. Squire, Fender made. Fender made. Fender make Squire. No alder.
Squire vintege molifier jizz Body mapple. Best beginner.
Bongo basswood. No good. MM make basswood Sturling. MM made. Now we have MM Bongo, basswood not sturling. S'all I'm sayin.
Oh lord.

Ok on a totally serious note op.
If you can tell me ten things that differ between an American fender standard p and a Chinese squier affinity p I will say... I'm an idiot five times in a location of your choice.
(the logo, opinions and where it was made don't count)
GO!
