New from Squier 2010

Methinks that 5 strings run counter to the terms "vintage" and "classic," and that may be the reason why we do not see 5ers in these lines. I do see where Squier could possibly do a "vintage vibe" line where a 5er would possibly work. The vast majority of players out there are still on fretted 4's, if what I see out in gigland correlates with what appears in a poll question in the Basses forum, and Squier's market looks to remain the young (read: poor) up & coming player. Don't get me wrong, I think that Squier has really turned their image around, and is the best budget line going right now (and by "budget" I mean sub-$500 average price; the competition is vastly different and more populous in the $500-800 price range, where I annoint the G&L Tribute line as being the best value).
