The Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Special pairs an elegant design with versatile, high-quality electronics for supreme style and tonal possibilities.

Squier is very proud to introduce its Telecaster Bass Special, which presents an exciting sonic and stylish twist on a long-familiar design.

Its time-honored body and headstock shape are well balanced by a comfortable medium scale length (32") that will appeal to bassists and guitarists alike. Remarkable tonal versatility comes from its large chrome-covered Fender(R)-designed Wide Range humbucking neck pickup, Duncan Designed JB-102B single-coil Jazz Bass(R) bridge pickup, and three-way blade switching (both pickups together and each pickup individually).

Other distinctive features include black "barrel" switch tip, knurled chrome control knobs, vintage style bridge with four chrome saddles, vintage-style tuners and strap buttons, and single-ply pickguard (white on Black model, black on Vintage Blonde model).

When I first saw a photo of it I thought: "Any guitar that looks this good has to be on the 'Real McCoy' side of the fence". So I took my own advice for a change and got it - it arrived 2 days later. Some companies actually do take care of their customers. The 32" scale neck makes playing faster and is very comfortable. Other basses out there seem like toys compared to this one. Would have given Ease of Use a 5, but the weight might be an issue for some people. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the weight adds to the sounds quality equation. If you have to wait a bit for the cash to get it, definitely do. It will be well worth the wait.

Musical Background:

Just play to keep my sanity. I have the dubious distinction of being the worst sitar player on the planet.

Musical Style:

Rock, classical, reggae, Indian.
