My newest addition..... Fender Player Series Jazz. Got it yesterday. Really great so far.

If one goes the Squire route, what is the hierarchy for upgrading (if there is one)?

Pups?
Electronics?
Tuners?
Bridge?

Is that the order? I have played a few squire jazz in stores and they "feel" pretty darn good... apart from the above, i might consider stripping the neck and doing a tru oil finish...

Well, I've owned at last count 6 Squiers, and only upgraded the pups in 2 of them, but not because there was anything wrong with the sound, but because I wanted a particular sound. With my Strat I fitted a SD Hotrail at the bridge, and my first P Bass got a SD Quarter Pounder, but I have found I have not needed to upgrade anything else.

I'd do pups first and foremost and a preamp if you want the active eq. Outside of that maybe a new nut made of brass, graphite, or corian with professionally done slots. You could do the bridge but I don't know how much it would be noticeable.

These are of course just my 2 cents...
