New here! Telecaster bass squier

I just bought a Squier Telecaster Bass and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I've seen a lot of people complain about Squier, but where I live, a Fender would be ridiculously expensive.

What do you guys think about this bass? Have you had any problems with it?

I'm coming from a Precision-style bass from PHX, so honestly, I'm sure it'll be a huge upgrade for me anyway.
The pix look nice, enjoy...

I have a 2018 50's reissue special edition from MF, it's a MIM and a great playing bass. I've always been Squier believer, I really think they are the best value Fender has these days. That body looks a bit more contoured than the 50's style slab - the slab gets downright uncomfortable about 1/2 way through a set (I wear a wrist sweat band to get around it). Mine has P style PU's that I upgraded with Fralins. Let us know how you like the tone and playability. Hopefully the Squier is a little lighter than the MIM, mine comes in a little over 10 lbs, ugh... but it's my main axe... its a BSB finish and has that great ZZ\Rusty look.

Congrats!
