Squier....Wow

[basspraiser]

just tried out the Squire Modified Fretless today and was very impressed...I have nver held any great respect fro Squires, but after reading so many good things about this line up I decided to try one myself and was happily surprised....I want to get one because I have not played fretless before and want to "gently" (i.e. cheaply) ease into it....does anyone know where I might be able to score one in the Chicago area below $250?

thanks!!!

I also had to try out the Squire Vintage Modified Jazz Fretless-and I'm Extremely happy with it ! I set it up my self-neck was straight,no buzzing/dead areas,pups a little quiet but have great tone..."Jaco-tone" not hard to come by. Put on you're favorite strings and you're ready to Rock and Slide...Peace...DAcat...

Just how hard IS it to set up your own bass?

Not as hard as it is to read that statement. Seriously it is extrmely simple, and IMO any musician should set up their own. Set it how you like it, not how some store says it should be, everybody likes to play it different. All you need is a couple allen wrenches and a tuner and you're set. Just adjust the bridge height how you want it via the small allen bolts on the bridge saddles. Then turn the truss rod bolt to get the neck how you want it, finally tune for intonation - make sure the 12th fret is the same note as the open, just a different octave. To move intonation take a precision screwdriver to the saddle screws on the bottom of the bridge. Done.
