I had one of those. Early 90's. Its not a Squier but is called squire series. They're quite unusual these days. 

Mine was ok but not great quality. The pick guard is single ply, brittle and impossible to find replacements. Frets weren't well finished. It sounded nice. For £350 max it's a good buy. 

If it’s not a squire it’s strange that they called it the squire series, I can’t remember back, but was it cheaper than a standard Mexican jazz at the time 🙂

They had cheaper electronics than a normal MIM jazz bass but the same US made body and neck. One unusual feature was the Fender logo is solid black which rather than the usual outline.
