I own Fender American made Jazz and Precision basses. Having said that this is my first Squire Bass..it won't be my last. If you are looking to buy your first instrument look no further. I can't say enough about the build quality here for the money. I am not one to modify my basses as I believe in the stock item in most cases. This is no exception I believe. Would it sound better with another pickup in it/ Or Maybe an upgraded bridge or tuners? Maybe...but again, as is..it's great.

All P Basses are limited in terms of tone...but that's why you buy a P Bass !!!! This one hits the mark for sure as it is....

It feels like my other Fender basses. End story.

The build quality for the price is great.

As an entry level instrument there is no reason you shouldn't get one ! I have just purchased a Squire Jaguar Bass ....it'll be my first bass that isn't at least a 34 inch scale length and I have no reservation with regard to what I will receive ! Yes I bought it from zZounds of course ! Stay tuned for that review !

Haven't had to contact anyone about any issues ...hoping it stays that way of course....

40 plus years as a bassist. Professional for most of that time. Just for fun these days.

Classic Rock, Funk, and anything else that that has a great bass line !
