New Squier range - the final nail in MIM's coffin

Is it the final nail in MIM coffin? Who knows. All I know is that the VMJ is a great value for money bass. I have had quite a few £600+ basses pass through my grubby mits recently and while they were great, I like playing the VMJ more.

It has been upgraded with a Gotoh bridge, Wilkinson vintage style tuners, Fender 70`s logo and black Jazz knobs (ooeeerr). And lets not forget the Halfords £5 satin black paint job! As you can see, the pole pieces dont line up 100% but neither did the ones on my MIM 70`s Jazz. Downsides, it`s a bit of a heavy bugger. I might replace the pups one day but the stock ones are fine and I love the neck on it.

Cost of upgrades £75.

Wonder if they'll do it lefty :)[/quote]

I randomly ran into one of these in a local shop. Not having seen this thread or the announcement, I was surprised to see a black Squier Jazz with DD pickups. Overall impression is that it looks really nice.
