Shaggy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) I bought this a couple of years ago for my teenage son to learn bass on, and when he inevitably lost interest used it myself for rehearsals and the occasional gig - mainly as it's a real cracker! (pics a few posts down) I don't much about these, but assume it was Squier's take on a "modern-style" bass, with vaguely Warwick-ish styling and P / J pickups. Although it's a real lightweight with a very compact body, it's long-scale (34"), has a really fast lovely playing neck (birdseye maple with a good quality rosewood board) and has that proper big Precision sound, with a nicely scooped sound when the bridge pickup is mixed in. Fittings and pick-ups are generic but decent, and finish is an attractive metallic graphite. Generally in good nick, but one minor issue - there's a small crack in the headstock from the E machine head to the edge. The pic makes it looks worse than it is - it's superficial only, is totally stable, and doesn't affect structural integrity. £75 collected from Swansea, or £90 posted - Would trade for Alembic, Ritter, Fodera of course.......

ash Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I had the Japanese Fender version, very light and versatile bass. For those of you with bad backs this looks like a great bass for very little money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks ash, hadn't realised it was such an established model bad-back bump then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Putting this back up FS at a knock-down price - missus is on house clear-out drive.... :-( I've re-attached pics here as decrepit lap-top won't let me re-edit the first post properly. NB; I've included a shot of when it was fitted with Barts and high-mass Gotoh-type bridge - NOT included, just to show you how amenable to hot-rodding it is (it's really decent in orginal spec, but hot-rodded was just amazing....). Barts long gone, but can re-fit the Gotoh-type bridge for a tenner. Now SOLD pending - I'll edit title when I'm able to access (ie; not on this ******* laptop.....)
