Our local Craigslist has a listing for a Squier Precision. The photo shows a sunburst PJ. What is is? Can someone please shed some light? Thanks. Boom

Squier PJ?

Well, I can't really see the headstock, but maybe some more experienced TBer might help you, but, as far as I know, the only PJ Squier were the Deluxe and the Standard series, and, for that price, I think is a good deal.
That's a Squier P-Bass Special.
I just sold one to a gentleman here on the forum for $185 shipped.

the Squier P bass Spec is a P body, with a Jazz neck, out of the Squier Standard Series.. the neck profile is the same as used on the Squier Standard Jazz, and also the VM series Jazzes with the rosewood neck ... I guess I didn't see the price, but if it is $175 for both, it IS very good price ... around $175 seems to be a going price for the bass alone ..
... just a heads up, these CAN be fairly heavy, and from what I have seen the 3TSB and the Walnut Satin seem to be the heaviest in the Squier Standard series .. 10+# is possible ... the solid color painted bodies tend to be a little lighter for some reason ...nice playing/sounding basses ... I have several Standard Series Squiers currently, and have had several more in the past ...

I have plenty of basses, but I've been very curious about a PJ and this would be a way to do it. This sounds like a thumbs up from the group. If I get a chance I'll check it out.
Yep, I've just never seen one in a sunburst finish before. The ones I have seen are on about the same level as a Standard Series. I've seen ones in rough condition selling on Ebay or in pawn shops for $75 to $100. In very good condition as much as $150-$175 so both for that price if they're in good condition is a bargain.
I picked one up locally for $125, though not with the burst finish. I've seen them list for up to $200 on their own, so even if you don't want the amp, take the deal and put the amp up for sale on its own. Whatever you get for it is a discount on the bass, which could be a decent amount.
I believe in the Squier Standard line, that finish is actually called Antique Burst ... the Sunburst is more of a 3TSB ... I have the 4 string version of this color, it comes stock with a type of a tort gaurd .. the black looks much better, and I even just remove mine ... the Jazz has no routing from neck pup to control cavity, just an enlarged routing at the pup ...
