JohnFitzgerald Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Just acquired this off a friend of a friend. Can't beat a basic Jazz. The 5er I have is active, I'm looking forward to having nothing more than a passive tone to roll off or on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnFitzgerald Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm looking forward to it. Couple if gigs next two weeks, so it'll get a run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Nice to see one without the fake Fender logo put on it. A great bass that will stay the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFitzgerald Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yeah, quite right there. My existing 5er wears its Squier logo with pride. Tell me more about your Squier Jazz Fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 It is a jaco replica that was defretted and has the stupid fake logo on it. The sound is great nice and mellow. I use flats on it. I bought it on here last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick's Fine '52 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Anyone want one then?, my mate's still selling his starter pack, although to be fair, the amp deserves a better description than starter!

JohnFitzgerald Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Finally got my hands on it today. Really, not a mark on it. still got the protective film on the scratchplate. Serial number confirms it as being a 2006 bass, so it's not exactly done much in its 6 years. The truss rod needed a bit of a tinkering to get that sitting nice, but all is now good. There's only one slight issue. It's years sonce I've played a 4 string jazz and i had forgotten just how skinny the neck is at the nut. I feel as if I could wrap my fingers around it 3 times. I'll get used to it I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townes1992 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 [list] [*]Nice to see that people are proud to own squiers. Im a student and dont have too much extra money to spend, and i desperately want a new bass. Ive outgrown the Westfield ive been playing for the last 4 years. Very much fancied getting a vintage modified squier, just get put off by all the stuff people trash them about on the net :/ This reassures me a little [/list] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I bought this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/162766-fs-squier-p-bass-special-pewter-pj-l140-sold"]Squier P-J[/url] just before Xmas. It's a fantastic bass & the P pup makes for some great tone. I've gigged a few times now and am quite happy to be waving a Squier logo around. After all, it's all about the sound, not the label.

JohnFitzgerald Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Too right there Norris. In fact, I was forced to get the 5er out last night and sat them side by side. Yes, I did get a little bit proud to see two lovely basses sitting there side by side. All the bass I need. Not that I won't keep wanting the dearer stuff too.

Evil Undead Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I love my Squier to bits. I've been trying to sell it for a while, but it looks and plays so good I just can't bring myself to part with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 My Squier has been with me since 1983, it's my main bass and proudly wears the Squier badge. It also plays better than any Precision I've owned and that's quite a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
