Squier Basses

Have you ever heard about this:

Squier California P-Bass
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I don´t find any info trough internet:bawl:, next week I think that I will go to store to test it but until.... I wanna know more about this bass!!!!:p

Checkout this link. Looks like a model made around 2005. My guess is "not made any more." It's not in Squier's current catalog.

If this interests you, check the the Squier VM P bass, it's been getting strong reviews also.
 
I checked them out with the thought in mind of having a heap bass to take on trips, etc. where security was a concern. I was impressed with how well they sounded, but was completely turned off by the sharp ends on the frets hanging out.
 
Take a split pickup, mount it in a common housing and stick it at the base of the neck and it goes BOOM! Very strong boomy bass. Much like the old Gibson EBO. But it does have bright tones too. I actually liked the Telecastor bass best of all the 70's modifieds Squier offers.

Thanks for the mini-review.

I am seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these. In fact, I am gonna post a thread here soon to get some help/advice deciding between this and something else.

Thanks man! I will take a look to the VM . I´m looking for a maple P-Bass around $300. Later I will change the pickups, the bridge and tunners... so I´m only interested in the wood quallity.

A question: the Sx PB-57 can be compared with a VM or California Squier???
