[quote]Wow - no, I've never had an ounce (UK= gram?) of trouble with anything on it yet.
Let me also put a short scale up for brightness and clarity of the three Squiers I now have.
With the deepest and least crystalline tones : the Squier P bass.
With the tightest MIDs and still a lot of thump : The VM-Jass
Brightest tone of all and even has serious low-end rumble ; VM-Jaguar.
All three are different by quantum levels for voicing and timber.
Output power is another consideration. The Jag has the most power output according to where I have to set the GAIN of the amp.
The VM-Jazz is next and the P comes in last, but still honks although in a somewhat different way.
I'd say that the Jag has about the same passive output as a weak active bass.[/quote]
Ahh right, Maybe I've jus got a bad one I guess, Alittle unfortunate but what can I do hey
