willyf87 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Just got one, sounds good, feels great set up well and to top it off it's surf green. Really surprised with the quality of this. Will get some pics up at some point for all too see, would be interesting to know if any of you guys have one and what you think of them.

Musky Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I had one in Shell Pink. I bought it in part because the Bass Centre were selling them off for £99 at one point. It was a nice bass and better all round than the late 70's Fenders I'd tried in the past - better neck, tone and weight. I only got shot of it because I didn't really have a use for that sort of tone at the time, a decision I regretted when I joined a garage punk band a few years later. JeanLuc Pickguard also had a Shell Pink Squier and still has an early 70's Fender version for comparison; I'm sure he'll chip in at some point.

Stu-khag Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Looking forward to pics of this. Im kicking myself for never buying a squier supersonic which was going for a song brand new a few years back. I think that was a vista series as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was solid as a rock and sounded better than a pink bass should. The only problem I had was that the neck was quite chunky making it impossible to get any relief in the neck with light flatwounds. Once I got my CIJ mustang, which has a slim, narrow neck, and works with a set of Thomastik TI JF324, the musicmasters didn't get a look in.
