Squier Vs Fender MIM

[mini-flea]

Hi all,

Serious new bass time! My encore has been a decent learning tool, but now its time for a new bass as i'm fed up of playing a fat slab with the highest action you may ever see? Not even adjustments seem to make it worth while lol, also the more actua band practicing and occasional gigs.

I've deided down the jazz route, great sound prefer over my p bass for both fingetstyle and slap, after trying a friends squier jazz.

My dilema is i have upto £350 maybe £450 pushing it to the extreme (only sixteen come on), in your opinions, would it be better to go squier modified jazz or go for a MIM jazz, im not sure what to do as most seem great and have good reviews?

Help

Well, for that much money you could get yourself a Mij jazz bass, or find ourself a nice second hand mia jazz bass.

Thats my one, and i got that for a little over $1000 here in Australia second hand. Its a 2000 model befoe the s1 switching. By the way 400pounds is $1000 here

People have compared the Squier Modified Jazz to the MIM Jazz. Some say it's actually better quality. I see you're in the West-Midlands, so you could possibly go to Birmingham and check both out at Bass Center.

Edit: Direct currency rate conversion doesn't work...

+1 on the squier modified jazz. can say nothing but good things about her. only downside: quite heavy - weighs in at 4.5kg...
