    Squier by Fender Vintage SS Modified Special Jaguar Bass - Candy Apple Red

    • Very unique sound, solid setup out of box
    • So far the sound is great, care needs to be made not to hit the low 'E' string too hard or it twangs and sounds louder than the other strings, but perhaps it's me who needs to improve my picking technique
    • Each pickup sounds great on its own, but I really like the tele sound
    • This one is easy to play and has great sound
    • I expect I'll put better strings on it at some point, but it has nice sound and action just as it was delivered
    • I love the sound
    • The bass has a great, strong sound, and I get complimented on it at almost every gig
    • Short scale doesn't take away form the wonderful bass sounds
    • Really nice rich sound for less than half what we paid for a cruddy Deans.
    • It took some tweaking on the bass and the amp to get what I wanted and now the sound has a nice, deep, throaty sound
    • A great full fender sound without the hefty price tag
    • no active electronics: it's pure sound you get; (and no batteries to replace);- price: at $179 it is almost a steal for the features;Right out of the box it needed adjusting two of the strings to lower the action just a teeny-bit; easily done if you have the correct Allen wrench : it is not shipped with anything
    • This is a great bass for someone who wants to dip their toes in the water...and wants to walk away with a respectable sounding bass.
    • I might wish for a little more "snappy" sound out of it, and an obvious upgrade would be better pickups
    • So far the sound is great, care needs to be made not to hit the low 'E' string too hard or it twangs and sounds louder than the other strings, but perhaps it's me who needs to improve my picking technique
    • I also have the full-sized one, in the red, and it's a great sounding, great playing bass - and in
    • The guitar sounds fine as is, looks great, and is well made.
    • However, the sound on this guitar is amazing and the only complaints is my own shortcomings
    • Great neck, beautiful candy apple red and better than average sound
    • You can get quite a range of sound using the various pickups, from twangy to low, so its easy to set it for your preferred sound
    • Great sound and combination of jazz and precision pickups
    • The shorter scale makes it MUCH easier to play: Durr, the frets are closer together!It's not as good as my Thunderbird for sliding notes up the neck, and it's a little more difficult to achieve the best thumpy sound, but
    • Great sound and looks great as well.
    • Looks nice, sounds nice, and is very light weight compared to other long scale Basses
    • This cheap-o sounded as good as my P-bass
