Squier 5 string Jazz

[patman]

Any body ever play one of these?  I played a natural colored maple block neck (painted, I think) one of these that was really good. It was really live, and vibrant,  and everything a good fender should be. Priced at $330.  Boy am I tempted...only thing that felt "cheap" was the finish on the neck felt sort of like a "Goodtime" banjo...like there was no finish on the neck, almost.  It felt comfortable, though...Pickups sounded scary-good...

Talk me out of it.

Can't help.  Most of the things I've heard about the Squier 5-strings have been good.

And you have a head start...you even know how to spell Squier!!

There's a black one in my local shop for ages. I don't play fivers, but sometimes I grab that one just to remind myself why I don't like to play them;) But this black one's also a very good built and sounding bass.

The string spacing was wide...so that I could slap fluently and do everything that I like to do on a bass.

everything i have read about these basses had nothing but praise. and at that price a no brainer.

You in a heap o'trouble, Patman.   Better warm up the old debit card.

Talk me out of it.
