Feature:
Giving it an eight because it has the features you need.

Quality:
The guitar is much better than I was expecting, plays flawlessly, sounds great and is as solid as a rock. The pickguard is 3 ply on the one I got.

Value:
There isn't any difference between this and a Mexican Fender.

Sound:
Took it out of box, tuned it and played to some Rush songs. It did the job perfectly. Fender strings are very good, next set will be Rotosound swingbass strings.

Ease of Use:
opened box, tuned, played. doesn't get any easier.

Overall:
Best value there is for a bass. I've been buying gear for 30+ years.

Feature:
It's a pretty unadorned "meat 'n potatoes" kind of bass. Two pickups, two volume, and one tone control, passive electronics, and a really nice neck.

Quality:
For the most part, outstanding quality at such a low price point.

Value:
This bass is a great value for the money - you'll get a good sounding, good playing bass for under $200.00

Desirability:
The Jazz Bass design is very sleek and graceful. It looks good on stage, and is very comfortable to play. It becomes part of you.

Sound:
Nice range of tones for a value-priced instrument. From the classic nasal "Jaco" tone, all the way to big-bottomed reggae, to nice funky groove tones, to a very convincing slap tone, this bass does pretty well.

Support:
Haven't dealt with Squier directly - haven't needed to.

Overall:
Hopefully, I'll be using this bass for a long time to come.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
How many features does a bass need? It's got tone and such but thats enough

Quality:
A friend of mine has his and he's dropped it , sat on it, just about everything and his still sounds like the day he bought it.

Value:
Very good for a starter bass. Great buy for beginner or intermidate players.

Desirability:
I love the look of it. I got the blue and its a little bit darker than the picture and it has helped me get a few girls so no complants.

Sound:
I bought this about a week ago and right out of the box it sounded amazing. The strings were smooth and bassy. I bought a pair of ernie ball strings but im still using the stock ones because im still happy with the tone they make.

Ease of Use:
Like i said out of the box and started playing very easy to use.

Overall:
I'll probably always keep this bass because of the quality. Even when i buy a new one in a few years ill have this as a back up or as a practice bass.

Feature:
They're what you need. I guess. I've seen basses for the same price with more though.

Quality:
Pretty good quality, but didn't really feel very well made when I played it.

Value:
I might get it if I didn't really plan on ever making anything of being a bassist.

Desirability:
Looks OK. I don't like the head tough. It's huge and kinda ugly.

Sound:
Quite a bit of fret buzz. I used a new one, but it still just didn't sound very good.

Ease of Use:
It's easy to use. Volume and tone. Simple as that.

Support:
Haven't used them

Overall:
I wouldn't buy this. But that's just me. It's not terrible, there's just many more in the price range that are twice as good.

Quality:
Tried to adjust neck which has a way out of spec concave bow causing very high action, but it wouldn't move. Turned the rod quite a few turns, until it became extremely hard to turn and I knew it would likely break if pushed any more. Even let it sit for weeks with the strings losse and re-tuned and the same bow returned. I haven't removed the neck to check yet, but it acts like the nut may be actually slipping in place (hence no change in neck curvature). Going to try the next smaller gauge strings to see if that will help, even though I like the original gauge. These are like Mexican Strats: you get some good ones and some bad ones.

Value:
If you luck out and get a good one, I guess the value would be quite good. But I didn't.

Ease of Use:
High action which I couldn't fix by adjusting.

Support:
Gotten poor service when I took my MIM Fender Strat in for warranty work (uneven, buzzing frets). Didn't fix it right the first two times. They've had it now - the third time - for about two months. I never took my bass one in however.

Overall:
Will probably sell it and go a little higher in the quality ladder.

Feature:
Its has a very traditional sound and the traditional fender set up

Quality:
I can no longer take the nut off of the input, the finish chips of very easily like from a belt. Very small frets and fret board dents very easily.

Overall:
you will be satisfied for a good 7 months, that may change if people you know have very good basses
