Squier Standard Jazz Bass  

I have played bass both as a career, and for fun, and I've owned a lot of bass guitars.  This one is right up there in both quality and tone with anything out there.  I had to sell my American P Bass, and needed a replacement for my home studio.  For the price I figured I would take a chance, and I couldn't be happier.  The individual volume knobs make for endless tonal possibilities.  You can get really punchy tone(similar to a musicman), really low growl, and even a very classic tone, just by dialing in the two pick ups.  I would recommend this to any bassist, and don't let name brands keep you from great sound.

Works great right out of the box. It feels/plays better than most, more expensive, Fenders I have played. I have had this bass for 3 years now and I love it!

was originally looking for a cheap Jazz Bass body to get for making a pattern for a pine body J bass.  This was sold as a "return" 2nd because it was missing an A string & had a small cosmetic scratch.  Just for fun, I replaced the string, buffed out the scratch, lowered the action and couldn't believe what I was hearing (& feeling!).  Somehow I lucked out and got a light ash body (under the candy red).  This thing vibrates acoustically like no other bass I've picked up, and the neck is wonderful!!  I like it so much, that I've put off that pine project for now and still can't believe what I got.  Pure Magic.

I recently bought this bass over the 2009 summer.  I wanted a bass for quite a while and saw this on sale and got the Walnut Satin version (very good looking).  Amazingly, I got this out of the package, plugged it all in and it worked perfectly.  The strings stay in tune, the knobs all worked, and nothing was wrong.  It was a worthwhile investment, and it works with every type of style of music.
