That was indeed the one. I really like that scheme too - black / maple and white guard. You watch, I'll buckle and I'll go buy one new then worry about the mortgage later.

Dunno about the OP's reason but mine is [i]partially[/i] to tick a box of having a Fender. Partially, mind. I don't have badge-blindness, it's just that every time I've played one in a shop I've liked it *shrugs shoulders*.

This thread tipped the scales today - went into local PMT, tried a Squier Vintage Modified and a MiM Fender. Looks like it'll be New Bass Day during this week :blink:

I have to say that given a Squier and a Fender, I'd go for the Fender.

That's exactly what happened. Tried the Squier first to get a handle on the situation. The noise was pretty close but the satin neck finish and the instrument's sustain on the MiM shone through. Boy that Squier was light, not sure what wood they're using on that but it was a good dollop lighter.
