When I say awesome I mean it...not awesome for the money, but awesome. Got it out of the box, tuned it up, lowered a couple strings and it plays like a champ. I got my money's worth and more with this bass. Will probably end up changing the bridge down the road, but would have done that with the American or Standard jazz bass as well. Got the natural finish. Its beautiful...feels great and plays even better!

Excellent instrument. Owned it for about a year. I put Dimarzio Ultra Jazz Bass Pickups in it. This was just a personal preference as the stock pickups are fine. The service from zzounds was also excellent. This is my seventh bass and I use it more than the other six (Pedulla, Tune, Kramer, Fender and Ibanez). I also have the Squier VM Fretless J Bass another fine instrument. People should stop looking at the name on the headstock and judge the instrument on how it performs!!!!!!

This bass sounds great running through my Hartke Bass Attack preamp. The tone is awesome and it came nearly set up the way I like it. I had to make very few adjustments even to set the intonation. Nothing about this bass can be beat in this price range. Period.

This is a Squire? I own several Fender's including a 75' Jazz, first run Geddy, Lee and a custom shop Jazz. I am proud to stand this Bass next to them. For $350, it has everything a seasoned pro would want. If your an entry level player you'll do backflips owning it, and it won't break Mom and Dad's bank. zZounds shipped it fast, and with their payment plan it's a win win. Only changes I'll be making is a Hipshot bridge and extender and a tortise pickguard, but I do that to all my Basses. Cheers!

Let me start off by saying i have not made anything more then some bridge adjustments to my bass, it is in need of truss rod adjustments but even so the intonation is pretty damn close to how it should be. THE TONE! its got the almost Geddy /joes garage zappa tone with its own colors too it, the necks got a fat round mellow tone, the bridge is bright and gives a great jaco sounding result. Very well setup bass nice feel and the neck is a DREAM. i am very much happy with the bass and believe the soft maple body makes a huge impact in terms of the tone this baby has compared to most basses in this price range. The only problem i could point out about this bass is one of the 4 neck bolts on the back of the body is screwed in crooked and the neck is slightly offset from the body in the neck pocket. Nothing majorly wrong, tuners hold there own and i rarely have to make any adjustments, but i will be changing the bridge, and pickups out of this bass. Hope this review helps and that others may enjoy this bass like i have :)

Purchased this Bass about 5 weeks ago. I a seasoned Bassist and heard that the quality of these instruments was way below the price point . Out of the box I did have to set the action to my liking. Finish and overall construction of this instrument was spot on. Hardware was solid and quality material . The frets above the 14th fret need some filing on the edges. Buy one and see for yourself . You will not be disapponted.

The bass was perfectly set up right out the box. The sounds I can get out of it are delicious. Affordable, easy to play, and a joy to behold! (Seriously, that glossy maple neck, mmmmm!) Please note: kindly disregard the rating for "Manufacturer Support", as I have not needed to contact the manufacturer.

I recall a time when Squire meant low cost, low quality instruments you regretted purchasing. Times have changed and so has Squire. Quality control has really been tightened up. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with the overall quality of my new Squire Vintage Modified '70s Jazz Bass. The neck is amazing. The pickups sound awesome. The finish is flawless. i cannot find one thing wrong or sub par with this bass at all. I also own a Fender Precision. This Squire Jazz sounds and plays every bit as well. It arrived quickly and the setup was pretty close to perfect...I only had to set the intonation. I really love this bass and you will too. They are really high quality and an amazing value.

Fresh out the box, slight bridge and string height adjustments, this girl plays like a dream. I've owned 4 other squiers. My first bass was a P starter kit and ive been playing for 15 years. Build quality keeps getting better. I really dig the tone running through my mxr m80 di really excited to see how it sounds in a live mix. Well worth the price and if you want better hard ware, upgrades would still be cheaper and sound better tan anything in the fender line. Not that its a fender product anywho.

I have owned this bass for over a year now play it regularly in a praise and worship group at our church. I bought it used with a new set of strings on it and have not had to do anything to it. The tone and action are both superb making it the best playing bass I have ever owned. I regularly receive compliments on how cool the natural finish looks with the black accents. I recently played a Mexican Fender at our local guitar store with thoughts of upgrading, but it looked and felt just like my Squier painted red with the action set too high. That Fender cost over twice what I paid for my Squier and didn't play near as well. My guitar has the Duncan designed pickups and the ad above mentioned Fender designed pickups with that being the only difference between this one and the one I own.

This bass is awesome! It plays perfect right out of the box and has such a versatile sound. The neck is super easy to play and feels good in your hand! I can't put this beauty down. zZounds' 4 month payment plan is the best and I wouldn't have been able to buy my dream bass without them. Thanks guys, you have a loyal customer here!!!

First you notice is that this is a very nice looking bass. I did my research and read nothing but positive things about this bass. Squier has come a long way. This is a well made instrument with plenty of options to choose from at only a fraction of the price of the Fender version. I was surprised at how good the stock pickups sound. I normally don't keep stock pickups from Squier, but this is an exception. You get a good variety of tones not just for jazz, but also good for rock, blues, funk and so forth. This is a very versatile bass of great build quality. For the price I would say this is a steal. Awesome buy!

I get so many compliments on the looks of the this beauty. It's my first Jazz Bass, always played Thunderbirds before this. My back loves this lighter bass, I love that it sounds so thick. Very impressed with this Squier. The Quality reminds me of the old Japanese Squier's of the 80's
