I've owned a bunch of Squiers (still have an '87-ish E serial MIJ Strat) but never owned anything with a Fender sticker on the end, and it's unlikely I ever will. I've played a bunch of Japanese Fenders, usually in shops (the original CIJ Geddy sig was superb) but have been racking my brains to think of any US Fenders I've been within sniffing distance of. Back in the very early 80s, a mate had a butchered, badly refinished old Strat, so I probably plonked around on that, and I remember trying a Jaco sig in a shop, maybe 15 years back. I think that was probably a US Custom Shop version (the price was ludicrous) but my main recollection was that it was one of the worst set-up basses I'd ever picked up, and was borderline unplayable.
The Irony, I suppose, is, that if I had to pick just one bass for ever it'd be a Jazz - the sound, feel and look tick all of my boxes. Stroke of luck then, to have picked up a stunningly good late 70s MIJ copy for £60 in a pawn shop. 😎
