Is Squire a bad thing ?

[SamJ]

Basically the same thing (see my thread http://www.talkbass.com/threads/made-in-vs-crafted-in.1157841/).

I was totally making a joke there.

I recently purchased a Squire Modified Jazz Bass. Dealers tell me it's nothing like a genuine Fender American Jazz Bass.I happen to like it.It plays very well, and the pickups sound OK. Am I just being awed by the Fender mistique or are there significant differences ?

Does your bass make a bass sound when you pluck the strings?Yes?
Or does it quack like a duck?No?
Do the tone and volume controls work?
Yes?
Then you have a good bass!
Really.
When you think about it.What is a bad bass?

I didn't have that problem with this bass,its a MIM Fender neck on a VM body (Amber) and vice versa with the black MIM P Body with the VM Squier neck...View attachment 631876

Here is my jazz...Geddy Lee body, '61RI pups, 4-ply tort guard. VM neck that went on perfectly... super tightl. This bass sounds and plays like a champ...it RULES!
