Sx or Squire?

SX. Every Squire I've owned has been 'meh' and in no way "better" than an SX to justify the extra cost.

agreed. squire are generally "meh", for the price of one of the new squires you could get 2 cool sx's.
If you're comparing to a Squier P that costs $200.00 or less, then get the SX. Use the money that you save to get new strings and a set-up.
Now, if you're comparing an SX to a modified Squire vintage P, I haven't tried one of those, so that may be a different story. Try before you buy.

SX. Unless its a vintage Squier. Then...I'd call it about even IMO.
Although that 62' Fretless was sweet.

My preferance is for the SX myself. I have, and gig two of them. Nothing wrong wtih the Squiers. They're respectable instruments. I have played the new Vintage Modified, and it's a step up over the Affinity series, but I still prefer the SX basses overall. Even if the SX was more expensive than the Vintage Modified, I'd still go with the SX. More in line with the traditional Vintage Fender basses than the Squiers are.
SX! Not that I am all that experienced, but the guys I play with (who have many years of gigging) are impressed with my Scorpion's workmanship and sound even before they hear the price and then it is pure amazement.
