Squier J - I'm easily pleased.

[JohnFitzgerald]

Just acquired this off a friend of a friend.

Can't beat a basic Jazz.

The 5er I have is active, I'm looking forward to having nothing more than a passive tone to roll off or on.

[machinehead]

That looks lovely.

Frank.

You can't beat it! Nice Jazz.

[JohnFitzgerald]

I'm looking forward to it. Couple if gigs next two weeks, so it'll get a run out.

[Blademan_98]

Nice to see one without the fake Fender logo put on it.

A great bass that will stay the course.

[JohnFitzgerald]

Yeah, quite right there.

My existing 5er wears its Squier logo with pride.
Tell me more about your Squier Jazz Fretless.

[Blademan_98]

It is a jaco replica that was defretted and has the stupid fake logo on it. The sound is great nice and mellow. I use flats on it. I bought it on here last year

[fender73]

Nice looking bass - that's a great colour

Anyone want one then?, my mate's still selling his starter pack, although to be fair, the amp deserves a better description than starter!

I think he'll take a good offer, his wife is putting him under pressure to clear it out!!

[JohnFitzgerald]

Finally got my hands on it today.

Really, not a mark on it. still got the protective film on the scratchplate.
Serial number confirms it as being a 2006 bass, so it's not exactly done much in its 6 years.

The truss rod needed a bit of a tinkering to get that sitting nice, but all is now good.

There's only one slight issue.

It's years sonce I've played a 4 string jazz and i had forgotten just how skinny the neck is at the nut.
I feel as if I could wrap my fingers around it 3 times.

I'll get used to it I suppose.

[*]Nice to see that people are proud to own squiers. Im a student and dont have too much extra money to spend, and i desperately want a new bass. Ive outgrown the Westfield ive been playing for the last 4 years. Very much fancied getting a vintage modified squier, just get put off by all the stuff people trash them about on the net :/ This reassures me a little

They are great basses and well worth the money. Give one a go and you won't look back

I always feel like that when I pick up a Jazz, after playing Precision for so long.

[Norris]

I bought this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/162766-fs-squier-p-bass-special-pewter-pj-l140-sold"]Squier P-J[/url] just before Xmas. It's a fantastic bass & the P pup makes for some great tone. I've gigged a few times now and am quite happy to be waving a Squier logo around. After all, it's all about the sound, not the label.

[JohnFitzgerald]

Too right there Norris.

In fact, I was forced to get the 5er out last night and sat them side by side.

Yes, I did get a little bit proud to see two lovely basses sitting there side by side.
All the bass I need.

Not that I won't keep wanting the dearer stuff too.

[Evil Undead]

I love my Squier to bits. I've been trying to sell it for a while, but it looks and plays so good I just can't bring myself to part with it.

[pikeman]

My Squier has been with me since 1983, it's my main bass and proudly wears the Squier badge.
It also plays better than any Precision I've owned and that's quite a few.
