Perry Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My budget for a bass is about £300. Do I buy a new Squier Jazz or MiM Jazz used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I have a squier vintage modified jazz and am very happy with it. Very light too. Then again ive never owned a MIM jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interpol52 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Play a few of each and then decide. The VM Jazz basses are amazing in my opinion, I have a MiM P bass (2013) and that is awesome too. With a good setup I don't think you will go wrong with either to be honest.

Marvin Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Get a Sire Marcus Miller V7, it'll knock the other two into the long grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Faced with a similar choice I went for a Squier VM70s, purely because I think they are better looking than anything in the MiM range. It's a lovely bass with one of the nicest necks I've played. I did upgrade the pickups and change the bridge though, not there was much wrong with the originals, I just fancied modding the bass a bit.

Painy Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Love my Squier VM Precision to bits. Always my go to gigging bass over my Fender (Chinese Modern Player rather than MIM though) Jazz. Edited September 12, 2016 by Painy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 There's a very nice Squier Silver Series Jazz on here for less than your budget so not in either category! It used to be mine but I foolishly sold it and then subsequently bought another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I voted for the MIM jazz, I know the Squier's are excellent basses but I just think the MIM bass is a touch better, but play both and buy whichever you prefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulWarning Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) buy a second hand Squier and save some dosh, I've never bought a brand new bass you'll never get your money back ( you lose 20% VAT for start) if you don't like it Edited September 13, 2016 by PaulWarning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
