Get a Squier 40th Anniversary Precision.
I went into Peach Music with the thought that I'd come out with a Fender CS or at least a US series bass.
This topped them all. Use your ears, not your eyes.
I have never understood why people say, "Okay, it's a Squier". Is that a bad thing? Can only basses with Fender on the headstock sound good? B0ll0cks to it all.
