Squier: Vintage Mod P-bass (touch down!)

[subversion]

the very attractive Vintage Modified P-Bass is now available @ swee lee (no i don't work for them...). List: $675

of late, there have been displeasures pertaining to Squier's current range of basses, namely, issues regarding tone. the VM P-bass proves that more attention to electronics & finishing would raise approvals quite readily. my experience with this bass is all that- the neck feel is a sure winner + the more refined Alnico V pickup really did the trick. if you think the Affinity/ Standard offerings aren't quite the models to channel your funds to, the VM series might have something for you...

where is this made in?
$675 is too exp for a Squire.
Top up a bit more can get a Fender.

I was quite pissed at first. This bass came in quite a long time ago and it was stocked at the Sims Drive showroom. When I asked if it was the Vintage Mod, one of the sales person said it was the Standard P Bass. The Bras Besar showroom has this now. It's a kick-ass bass. Haven't tried any Squier that's better.

It's $695.50 on the price tag actually, but do ask for a discount. *hint* (it's actually MUCHMUCH cheaper after discount)

Oh, and if you think this is too expensive for a Squier, you'll change your mind once you play with it. Just because it's a Squier doesn't mean it's poorly made.

I still think it's a lil expensive. I'd rather spend a few hundred more for the novelty of a FENDER.

I agree..haha..SweeLee really know how to mark up the price.

Sub- any idea if they're bringing in the VM Tele bass?

 

[leonq]

or the fretless jazz! =D

 

[ahkiatt]

With all that marking up at swee lee. I think that day's coming soon. THE DAY THE DAY THE DAY!

i'm checking on that- one of my desireables he he...

NOTE: List price here means 'before disct'; re-evaluate your opinions please. if only shaneypants's post have been read with careful consideration...

bro- the pickups are indicators of the series it's from

 

[shinobi]

i don't see why people should be comparing squiers with fenders. they should be comparing squier with other basses in its class

i own a jap fender and if i can find a squier with the same quality, being half the price, i'll be damned. anyway i cant wait for the tele basses

Good thing you haven't seen my Squier JV series Jazz bass then . Whoever has one is a lucky bastard, I know I am!

 

[shinobi]

well i'll be damned

 

[shaneypants]

Hey guys, just ASK for a discount. I'm not gonna disclose the discounted price here. Not a very nice thing to do. But I'm pretty sure you'll leave the shop thinking about it. =)

Thanks Sub for the advice about the pick-ups.

 

[subversion]

i've come across many sterile sounding Duncan Designed pickups but the ones in this bass is a value added inclusion

 

[3notesAbar]

Sub, any idea if there's the Squier Vintage Fretless in SG?

 

[holas]
