Next on my list Is a USA standard precision bass [/quote] Recently got one myself, a second-hand USA 2010 P. Having played Road Worn, Classic 50's, various Squier's, I thought it would just be a different variant. How wrong was I? Whacks the pants off all the others by a mile. Great bass, superb build - just an excellent bass. Gives the feel of an instrument that will go on for years - very sturdy! Edited July 17, 2012 by spongebob Quote

I played a Chinese Squier once and I agree, they are, err, in a quality league of their own. Quote
