Is 'funkify' a word? It is now, baby, thanks to Squier's new retro-inspired Vintage Modified Jazz Bass guitar! This handsome natural-finish bass features a soft maple body and one-piece maple neck with sharp-looking black binding and block inlays on the 20-fret maple fingerboard. That soulful sound emanates from a pair of single-coil Duncan DesignedTM Jazz Bass pickups; other features include chrome hardware and machine heads, a three-ply pickguard and a four-saddle chrome bridge.

 Excellent Bass July 4, 2010

I have played many bass guitars and this one is definitely one of my top favorites. It both looks and sounds great. This bass has a very clean and bright sound. It's hardware and pickups are very good quality, and the 3-piece body is seamless. I love playing this bass and I do so everyday. One of the best features about this bass is the price. For the quality of it, I would be willing to pay twice as much. Compared to a Fender Jazz bass, it is really the same thing, just stamped with Squier. I am expecting this instrument to last me for years to come.
 Worth the money - but that's all January 30, 2010

I got this with discounts for real cheap at Sam Ash. Unfortunately, this instrument is only worth what I paid for it. In fact, I've now been through two of these, and I'm quite unimpressed. The first one I got had a very nice body with good tone, but a severely warped and bowed neck. Squier replaced the whole bass warranty (they wouldn't just replace the defective neck). As I feared, the new bass doesn't have as nice a body, and the neck still sucks.
The first body was made of two pieces, nicely matched with the seam down the middle. Sadly, the replacement bass has its seam WAY off center, and the two pieces don't match at all. Fugly!
The new neck is horribly bowed and has terrible buzzing above the 12th fret, so I have to raise the action unnecessarily high. Adjusting the truss rod is a scary ordeal. I'm afraid to adjust it too tight - the neck feels so flimsy. Every day I give it a turn to remove some of the bowing, and the next day the neck is bowed again.
If you don't mind high action and some string buzz, this could be a nice cheap bass for you. I bought this because I needed THAT Fender tone for a recording project, and wasn't getting it with my much more expensive Sting Ray 5. The Squier gets the tone alright, but it's no sub for a real Fender Jazz Bass.
