I own two Squier Jazz basses, one very good, one even better...a Contemporary Active Jazz and a Crafted In China Classic Vibe. I bought both of them because they look better than most of the similar Fender Jazz basses. I had a CIC CV years ago, so I was well aware they're better than the Fender MIM Standard/Player Jazz basses, but I had no idea how much I'd like the CA Jazz, not being a fan of active Fenders. Turned out to be pleasantly surprised. Maybe the active electronics simply work best with my GHS black tapewounds. Other than that, Squier is definitely getting the attention they deserve. Are they all good, no, but the same can be said for many basses.

I'm guessing no Thunderguns?

The L2000 has passive and active options...you didn't like either mode?

You should've kept the L2000. Active and passive, no need to change the pickups...they might be the best stock pickups made.

I think I saw two bad examples...and I've seen another two in person that looked fine. Possibilities do exist, of course, among both Squier and Fender.

Best surf-band bass of them all!

On Talkbass and Facebook more bassists rave about the '50s CV Precision than any similar Fender. Must be some reason.

Thanks for reminding me. Watched it just a few weeks ago and didn't remember.

I'd try one if I found it on my front porch tomorrow. Sure, I wouldn't keep it, but...

Different enough that the two can't be confused, at least.

Quite a few good basses, but you don't want good, you want great, right? Dare to be different! Reverend Thundergun, one of the best-kept secrets in the bass world...it's a super P bass.

First time I ever saw a Thunderbird was in a pop band....1965! https://youtu.be/FFNoDsOmluA

Not a big fan of Greyburst but I'll try one out as soon as they start showing up.

My favorite...Fender should have used this headstock on the Meteora basses.

I like the headstock.

I like the slots cut into the pickguard!

Does the Embassy have rolled fret edges?

Sorry, I should've simply stated that they're high tension instead of asking it.

Aren't they high tension flatwounds with a very stiff feel?

Too bad there isn't a Squier version.

Still worth it to me.

$10 here but I'd pay $20 if I had to.
