Here's my trio of Teles. Admittedly, the reason I went for the Squire in particular was because the affordable Fender version is no longer readily available, but they are superb basses in their own right. Certainly a lot comfier to play than my old slab bodied Fender.
I recently had a chance to play one of the new US reissues and, apart from the Fender being far more period accurate, there wasn't much difference in feel at all - apart from the Fender neck being fatter.
My latest one, the blonde on the left, has a replacement pickup which is a lot hotter - it's got a more solid low end but loses some of that trebly clank that the stock pickup has. I'll know if the pickup's a keeper once I get some new DRs on it.
