[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif]Hi Everybody, I'm new on here, so here's my second attempt at a post for which I joined up specifically to ask.....I am looking to buy a bass for under £300, as my missus is buying me one for my birthday! and I wondered if I could have some comments from someone who has played both the Fender Modern Player Jazz Short Scale Bass or the Squire Jaguar Short scale Bass. I note the Squire has Precision bass p/u and a jazz bass p/u, and the comments I've read so far seem pretty good. On the other hand the Fender MP Jazz SS Bass hasn't really impressed everyone, in spite of it being 1/3 price dearer. I also note the Fenders 16 Fret and the Squire 20 Fret, though I don't usually play that high, in spite of being a guitarist, not a bassist. I'm more comfortable with the Short scale as I used to have a Samick, and I could fly on that. [/font][/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif]Has anyone else compared them physically (as I live miles away from the store and they only have the Squire anyway) or can a shop owner / worker give me some advice. They both look great and I'm assuming they both sound pretty good too![/font][/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif]NB. I need it primarily for recording, but some live now and again.[/font][/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif]I'd be grateful of some advice. Thanx in advance.[/font][/font][/color]
