42Hz

I wanted to try a short scale so I got a Squier VM Jaguar SS. It is very comfortable to play for a number of reasons. Compared to my other basses especially the E-string might appear to have less definition. But that might be due to other causes than scale itself (strings brand and gauge, pickups brand and configuration, slimmer neck, different materials etc. etc. etc.). But it has a thump or Oomph! not surpassed by any other bass that I have. Many choices available at reasonable prices so give it a try.

My Sq VM Jazz FL: ~4.5kg

But would I pay more for a celebrity owned/played bass? Absolutely not. [/quote] Same thing here. Seeing a too-good-to-be-true deal I often suspect it might be stolen.
