Squier Classic Vibe OR Fender MIM
- Thread starter Bassman1905
- Start date
I vote MIM because they sound better with Fender on the headstock instead of squier. this is fact
See I was agreed with by the guy who didn't make the two post debacle, so I feel that I am more right than before. No one can brag about a squier, but with a MIM its a simple matter to remove the made in mexico label and impress the girls.

Whatever. I hate anti-Squier Fender purists...I just don't get why people bash Squier. I mean, have you ever actually PLAYED a higher end Squier??? They play better than most other 300 dollar basses out there. I mean Squier does produce some piece of crap instruments, but that doesn't mean you can't automatically say that they suck!!! I mean, what if Fender made this super junky garbage jazz bass that sounded worse than a Squier Affinity P Bass? Would you quit on Fender? Ahh, like I said before, whatever. People have their own opinions, and I have mine.
It's a little subjective - the Squier VMs/CVs more than match up to the standard MIM lineup, but once we get into the MIM reissues/road worns etc. things start to get blurred.
You probably should've said Squier CV vs. Fender MIM Standard.

Settle down. Youre new here, and sarcasm and jokes out number serious posts 5:1. Chill. We are just messing with you. I personally like Squiers better, as posted in my first post in one of your two threads.
Most girls I talk to don't know what Fender is....
... read what I said right above your quote in this post.
Oddly enough, girls seem to know about Gibson though... a troubling trend, but not irreversible.
Like Jordasch said: don't get overexited.
You're new here.
There is a lot of Squier love here on the forum.
You'll love it.
Easy man, easy. I just sold my 5th squier, a 25th (or 20th or whatever) anniversary jazz that held its own with a few MIMs I have played and was better than a couple. I've had my first squier, an affinity P (also my first bass) for going on 12 years now. Not a long time to all you real salty guys, but a long time to me. Sounds fine to me for what it is, and if you listen to it without looking at it not as many people would no the difference as claim they would. I happen to have a MIM fretless right now that has been lightly modded and plays and sounds better than any Fender I have owned and most that I have played (I can't say I have owned any super duper Fenders so don't go blasting me). Thats why I am voting for the MIM.
See, Lousy was just messing around with you. If our responses are getting into your head, stay as far away from the Off Topic forum as possible. Seriously. You will be off of Talkbass in a minute, feeling like a total idiot for no apparent reason. I know from experience.
Yeah, no long rant this time. Just joshin ya. I personally think anyone who worries about brands may be denying themselves some good instruments and are fools for doing so. I have 4 basses, 2 expensive, 2 pretty cheap and i love them all for reasons all my own. As you will notice I haven't been here long either, but its a lot of fun and there is a lot of stuff here to learn about music and equipment, so welcome and enjoy yourself!
