Feature:
A notable feature is definately the strings, they WERE stock, and yet they sounded very good, which is extremely rare with stocks.
However, the most notable of all the features are the pickups! They sound very, very good!! Warm, percussive mellowness to bright, raw punch. My only complaint, is that when the bridge pickup is the only one selected (and it is turned all the way up) it's kind of weak (nasally.) Not much, but enough for me to notice. But I really don't care, because I never have them like that anyway. Overall, features are pretty great.
Quality:
Squier produced a gem when they launched this. Solid neck, strong tuners, beautiful finish, and maple neck AND body (oh so nice and bright.) A true workhorse, and pretty much a tone monster. I love it.
Value:
INCREDIBLE value. Worth every bit of the relatively miniscule price tag of 280$.
Desirability:
Ohh, very attractive. love the beautiful appearance, and the incredible sound. An insanely great buy for any bassist.
Sound:
From awesome, rattling prog punch, to fat, buzzing bottom end, this bass delivers in any situation I need it for. I can always count on this baby to cut through the mix, and LEAD, in the usual style of my band's songs, and also to provide the perfect, melodic depth that I need in others. It's all at the turn of a knob. My recipe for throaty, rich, and at the same time cutting and rattling tone: this bass, and D'Addario Flats. AWESOME!!
Ease of Use:
Oh, man, such a thin, fast neck! The nitro finish on it is lightning quick. And, after you lower the bridge saddles a bit, the action is perfect! Intonation is a bit off, but not too bad, and I rarely play high enough to notice anyway. Besides, I haven't had a neck job since I got it, so of course I wouldn't have everything as it's supposed to be. The bass is perfectly balanced, not body heavy, not neck heavy, just...perfect. (unlike most squier p's, and unlike every epiphone T-bird I've ever tried.) It can, if you're careful, keep tune for weeks. Overall, one heck of a player's bass.
Support:
I haven't had any real problems, so there's been no need to contact squier. Everything is ship-shape.
Overall:
Just flat out awesome!!! I love it to death.
