  Absolutely blown away by this bass. I'm a bit long winded, playing starts at 4.20.

You’ve been on a FSO binge.

I’ve been hearing very positive comments about recent Squiers.

Lol your right I have been on a FSO binge! If Gibson made more basses I'd buy those but we're not exactly knee deep in new Gibsons.

That sounded great, Scott. Hard to believe that tone and those specs on a $220. bass.

That does sound really good.  I might actually be tempted if they came left-handed.

Squier seem to be hitting it right out of the park.

I’ve been hearing a ton of extremely positive user reports. And a lot of local ones.

I've had a couple of Squier basses and they've been good. In particular, I had a silver Jaguar bass that was a good one - a friend bought it and enjoys it. Of course, It had Labella Deep Talkin' Flats on it when sold.

I know quite a few that gig with them. Some simply liked the Squiers enough to sell their Fenders , some hang on to the investment. The Squiers do the job , and in the right hands sound great.

I've owned three Squier CV basses, two original MIC, and one FSR MII.  I still have two of them.  I have always believed the basses were the true all stars of that series.  I've had three G&L basses as well and still have two of those and enjoy the difference between them that Leo's innovations in them created.

But when it comes right down to playing gigs no one is ever gonna shun anyone for showing up with a PBass or JBass no matter what name is on the headstock.  At least for awhile IMHO the Squier CVs exceeded the quality of the MIM Fenders and probably caused Fender to up their game there.

One other thing I appreciate about them is how easily they can be modified or upgraded to taste if someone like me who enjoys that kind of thing wants to tackle.  Some of them like my Matt Freeman model have appreciated significantly over time.  It's actually the best PBass I've ever owned.

So congrats on the bass and thanks for the demo.
Surely some day my epitaph will read; "Don't mind him. He's just the bassist".
