thinman Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Has anyone tried one of these? [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0328700509"]Squier Page[/url] For around £210 it seems very cheap so I assume it's not one of the Squier premium models (if that's not an oxymoron - I own a CV P which is great for the money so I'm not prejudiced here).

watchman Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The one I tried out seemed pretty fair. It rang really well, very lively. I've noticed the Classic Vibes are like that as well. My own tastes in sound are for something thumpy, but then that's what the tone control is for. Always nice to have a bass with a good lively sound in the first place, since it's not really possible to add what isn't getting to the amp in the first place. On the whole, I don't think you can go far wrong with the Squiers at the money, provided you pick a good 'un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry_B Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 The crimson red transparent one is rather tasty. Seems these new ones have an active circuit...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinman Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 It's the active version with the Humbucker that I'm intrigued by rather than the passive with the PJs. Does it sound a bit like a Stingray with that configuraton? £200 just seems ridiculously cheap as I normally work on the "you get what you pay for" principle - the CV P was a fair bit more dosh so I expected the quality to be better.

tommorichards Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 The HB seems like a great candidate for a neck pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0327900506"]black vm jag[/url][/quote] I bought one a week or so back, I'm blown away with it. It just works, great range of tones, P-PUP sounds like a Precision should, J-PUP sounds like a Jazz should, neck is fast and straight, no dodgy frets. Oh, and it looks like a bass costing about 4 times as much, I bet if I left this next to my '65 on a stage, this would get nicked first C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
