To go against the trend on this thread, but I have a Squier CV jazz and a Fender delux jazz. The fender is by far the better instrument.
The Squier needed quite a bit of adjustment from new and was then nice to play. But the fender is much, much nicer. Sound, feel and finish.
Unplugged, the difference is quite noticeable. The Squier sounds dead in comparison. I haven't really wanted to play the Squier after buying the fender.
Not saying Squiers are bad, certainly not, they're great for the money.
Plus I'am willing to accept that all basses are different and others will have other experiences.
