"If You Spent More For A P-Bass, You Ain't Gonna Be Happy With This Review!"
Feature:
Not real crazy about the agathis body, but for the money, a great value. The neck is as good, if not better than the Fender MIM P-Bass. The Duncan pickups do a great job.
Quality:
The Squier Vintage Modified series are very, very good. I also own the Jazz version. Fit and finish is very good, hardware is average but acceptable, the Duncan pickups are excellent. The VM series are passive basses, so no batteries to mess with. The P-Bass pickguard is not the best. The satin finish on the neck feels a little inexpensive to me, but very smooth and very fast. There is an ever-so-slight neck dive due to the lightweight agathis body.
Value:
Bass Player Magazine recently rated the Jazz version as the Best All-Around Value, and this P-Bass cousin is just as good.
Desirability:
Personally, I'm not a big fan of the white w/ black pickguard, but for the 70's vintage look, Squier did an exceptional job. This is a very practical bass for live play or recording and it also makes a great backup for any situation. I'm gigging with it tonight.
Sound:
It sounds like a classic Fender P-Bass. It shouldn't, for the price, but it does! Perfect for Classic Rock, Blues, Soul and Classic R&B.
Ease of Use:
It only has a volume control and a tone control. It's a P-Bass...that's all it needs! I slightly increase the lows and highs on my amp's EQ, roll back the tone control on the bass, and I've got the James Jamerson, Duck Dunn, Jack Bruce sound. That's it. Simple.
Support:
No experience.
Overall:
Squier has everyone talking about their VM series basses. Good quality, good value. I am very happy to own the P-Bass and Jazz basses. I do own more expensive basses, but for the money and then some, this is one healthy bass!

Quality:

Value:
Cheap and cheerfull - Never goes out ot tune
Sound:
It sounds ok I think. I dont agree totally to the other review on this page. Alot of people cant really see past their nose when it comes to instruments. If you think it sounds a bit dull its probably because you have not set your eq right on your amp. As for using a highter watted amp I agree but dont jump in anp buy a big expensive amp, your looking for an amp thatb provides plenty of low end at high volumes.
Ease of Use:
Now Instead of playing with this bass and not liking the sound and throwing your toys out of the pram and braking your back with expense and buying a really expensive guitar, you can do what I did.
The wood on this guitar is good, dont let anyone tell you otherwise, I took the pickup out and replaced it with an EMG-P active pickup. because I was changing to active I had to change the pots and wiring too. I bought a thicker pick guard and use Elixer or ernie ball strings. A gotoah bridge and gotoh machine heads. I use an Ashdown electric blue 15" bass amp 180 watts, sounds great and i DI the amp straight into a mixing desk. his bass now sounds better than a a vintage £900 fender P Bass and all for a total price of £150
