A Squier Bass VI popped up in our local kijiji , I dawdled and it quickly sold , and then I was thinking I really should have immediately bought the thing . And then discovered a slightly used (rented once) one at my local L&M .
Decided to rent it for a month , it’s just over a dollar a day , and after one day I’m pretty sure I’m going to keep it .
The originals are rare and expensive so I’m quite happy Squier give you a cheap alternative . Fit and finish are fine , plays well , sounds great .
Some say these need heavier strings and that sometimes the bridge saddles have to be reversed for intonation , but so far I’m happy with the factory setup .
I’ll probably never use it for the gigs I do , but it will be a wonderful guilty pleasure at home .
