NBD and the Squier argument

[Kukulkan61]

Ever since I got my Squier Matt Freeman Bass my 1961 all original Fender P bass gets neglected...

 

[TripleDouble]

I bought a Squier VM P-Bass a while back, and immediately sold my MIM jazz, 1977 P Bass, Sadowsky, fretless Wal, Cervelo, Triumph TR3, McMansion, dog, plasma, and my soul. Squires rule that effing hard.

Those Modern Player Jaguar basses are sweet I love the neck and tone

 

[Stealth Fighter]

I'm pretty sure those fenders are made in the same Chinese plant the CV squiers are made in.

Not sure about same plant, but they are made in China.

Jaguar basses ARE MY JAM!

It's for scale!

Is the pie a la mode?

Ever since I bought my Squier, I got married, I was bumped up to business class on my last plane trip, I visited exotic locales and I stayed at a Holiday Inn. Thanks, Squier!

Or, they've only played a jacked up Affinity model.

Brand new affinities have crazy good necks on them

Your dog was named Plasma?

Chicks dig Squiers. They are, unfortunately, indifferent to the players.

 

[RedVee]

Pretty sure OP is raving about his new fender playing better than his squirts.

Congrats on the new bass! Those modern players have some serious tone.

I hate the Squirts

Nice sandwich.

It's a P&J sandwich next to his P-J bass.


A better person could have made a funny joke from this... lol

Troll lol

The CVs feel really consistand and good quality but I think the VM line feels and sound like cheapos, which are exactly what they are after all Nice jaguar bass btw

Yea Squier RULES!!
When I bought my affinity, all I need is to put some fender custom shop pickups, then swap the neck and body with MIA neck and body, and also replace all the parts with MIA parts, and It blows any fender anytime. Squier>Fender!!!!!!!!!

 

[Laurie Bass]

Did you pick that M.P. Jag new? God for $230 (USD?) that to me is a steal. Here in Canada (if you can find one) they still command top dollar...no discount at all.

 

[rogerbmiller]

It feels better because it is better made.

 

[lbbc]

Looks nice.
A black pearloid pickguard would be a nice modification.

I love pearloid pickguards (I have a white one on my Chris Aiken Squier...really sets it off)

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

I have a Squier VM J V that I really enjoy playing and it sounds really good. But it doesn't really measure up to my P Select or my American J. My wife likes the sound of the Squire J better than my American J.
I took the Squire to band rehearsal a few weeks ago and both guitar players were surprised at how good it sounds.

I've had bad squiers and good ones. Just like any bass... quality,tone, etc changes from bass to bass. Right now I have two that are killer, and one of those two is my main bass. Never woulda thought. My Tobias Growler 5 has been hangin on the wall for quite a while now, and I've been bringing squier VM 4's on all my gigs. A good bass is a good bass. Name not withstanding. Trick is to find a good one. Played a VM5 last night at GC. Sounded like CRAP. so, like I said, not all of em are great, but many are. Congrats on your modern player. I had a Modern player strat. Had to return it. after $60 in set up and locking the trem bridge I still could not get it to play in tune. Like Squiers, Modern Players quality can change from instrument to instrument. Best of luck.
