It looks good but, sadly, does not receive the seal of approval as the scale is too short. Not recommended.

Why not recommended? There are plenty of short and medium scale bass lovers out there. 32" is a very happy medium...it worked great on the Kubicki and those are great basses as well as the Birdsongs which are 31.5".

so it's not really a shortie then? what's a " normal " P? I was thinking it was kinda Mustang scale but I'm maybe wrong.

I'm surprised it's not a 34" scale but for this kind of thing I don't think it'd cause an issue tonally. I think longer scales are more important when seeking out a more refined 'clear' tone, that isn't what these are for.

EDIT: Damn curiosity, I want one of these now: [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=0327602506"]http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=0327602506[/url]

That's not a Squier. It's a Jedson from about 1973 - same as my mate Baz Barrell's first bass. Mr Justin Norvell's first mis-step at Fender, methinks.



And so it begins - Fender's twenty-five year cyclical dive into hubris and disaster.

I really like these for some reason. Only thing I don't really like is the woofer pick up. I'd have to stick a DiMarzio Model One in there and a Seymour Duncan STK-J1 in the bridge with a Badass II bridge or a jazz style bridge cover just to make up for what looks to me like an empty back end on the bass.

Also, the fact it's one of the Squier VM series means it's going to be a seriously well built bass

Pickup selector for 1 pup. :D

[color=#666666][font=HelveticaNormal, sans-serif][size=3]Remarkable tonal versatility comes from a single powerful Duncan Designed™ PB-102 SCPB single-coil pickup and three-way switching among special tone circuits, which feature a modern bass sound (middle switch position, volume and tone controls), softer "double bass" sound (neck switch position, volume control only) and authentic tic-tac "baritone" sound (bridge switch position, volume control only).[/size][/font][/color]

Some sort of preset filtering by the look of it...

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Omg so that's a real bass. I thought someone was having a bit of fun with photoshop. :D[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]It's amazing how I've been making do with just a simple vol/tone set up on my SCPB single coil gigging bass. Got to build me a varitone in it now. :D[/font][/size]
