krispn Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The Matt Freeman does have a certain cool about it. Looking forward to messe opening tomorrow and seeing what the initial reports are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinman Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 You have to hand it to Squier - they seem to be getting their marketing spot-on. I know many don't consider them to be serious instruments (and I admit to have irrational thoughts in my mind) but they've produced so many models lately that I like the look of. I've a CV 60's P in blue and now I want one of the active Jaguars in red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duarte Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Doesn't Matt Freeman play a Tony Franklin signature P bass? What's going on there... That butter P looks so nice. I think it may be ESSENTIAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also metions he has had over 90 basses. Edited April 6, 2011 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I think it may have been linked to, but here is the reason why I started to take bass evenn more seriously....good bass players in punk?
