Help me indentify my fender bass

[Smash]

I bought this bass some years ago and changed a lot of the standard parts as you can see, but I cannot understand much about the original bass, does anybody here know what Squier bass this is? It plays so well and prefer it to the modern Mex basses.

If the neck is original then it's a Mexican Jazz Bass built 1994-1995.
The logo sizes are back to front which potentially makes it a bit of an oddity.

There's a thread about it here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89766"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89766[/url]

That thread is about the early '80's Japanese Squiers.

I believe that your bass is not a Squier, but part of the Fender 'Squier' series-It is basically a Mexican made Fender from '94ish.
The same way that Fender do the 'Standard' series and the 'Deluxe' series,there was a period where they branded Mexican made
instruments as the 'Traditional' series and the 'Squier' series. The 'Squier' series of instruments is different from the Squier brand.
Basically,what you have is a mid '90's Mexican Fender Jazz Bass,not a Squier.
