Fender starcaster jazz bass are they any good.

[the boy]

Hi guys I've been offered a starcaster jazz bass are they any good. Are they fenders or are they more like squiers.

The Starcaster by Fender range is at the bottom of the pile beneath the Squire stuff.
Not tried one but I wouldn't get too excited about them - they're generally sold as part of a beginners kit for about £200,

[the boy]

Cheers for reply it's going for £80 so I may have a look.

I've tried one out in Costco of all places. I wouldn't give you £10 it.

Haven't played the bass but have played their Strat equivalent like dlloyd in Costco. It was piss poor, you'd be better off looking for something else as I think the quality of these particular instruments is actually an insult to even a novice.

[the boy]

That bad? Wow thanks for the advice.

[risingson]

Yes, I'm afraid so. It's Fender moving into every sector of the market they can with no regard for the quality of their product.

They're an insult to firewood.

I've never seen anything as bad that was being sold new. And I'm including the plastic ukulele I bought from the 99p store.

Go back to the cheeky devil who offered you it and set fire to his trousers.
