This short-scale bass is brand new to the Fender Squier lineup and it’s a winner. Squier has really ramped up its quality in the past couple of years with the Classic Vibe and Vintage Modified product lines and this bass is no exception. As a female player I wanted a short-scale bass because my hands are small and I didn’t like the excessive weight of standard basses. I found just what I needed in this bass. Its pickups are clear and versatile, the neck is thin and comfortable, it’s very light weight, and it looks terrific. I chose the Candy Apple Red and am glad I did. It looks terrific! One thing the pictures don’t show is the back of the neck. It’s the traditional Fender satin finish natural with dark “skunk stripe”. Very classy looking! This bass is a steal for 9 and I can’t believe that it will remain at that price for very long. I’m actually thinking of getting the silver one as a back-up. Is it an American Fender? No, but for anything 0 or less it’s a knockout. Mine came from Amazon and it was delivered quickly and safely. This is the third guitar (3 G&L’s) I’ve purchased through Amazon and Ive never had any problems. If you’re looking for a bass with similar criteria to mine don’t hesitate to try this one.

This review is from: Squier by Fender Vintage SS Modified Special Jaguar Bass – Candy Apple Red (Electronics)
For 0, this is a great bass. Made in Indonesia. The P-pickup is clear and strong with a great P tone to it. The J-pickup is a bit weaker and really won’t stand on its own, but it’s great at coloring the P-pickup, which is what I use it for.
The neck is this axe’s finest feature. It is 1.5 inches wide at the nut and very thin. It is arguably the fastest bass neck I have ever played. The body of the guitar is Agathis, and this lends itself to a teeny bit of neck dive. I don’t even notice it with a leather strap but it’s noticeable with a nylon strap. The tuners meet minimum requirements. They hold tune but have a lot of backlash in the gears. The Jag comes with a set of cheap roundwound strings that beg to be changed out. The final sanding of the wood body was hastily done. If you look closely you can see a bit of waviness. The finish is thin but attractive. Make no mistake; this is not a high-end bass, but it’s a great starter bass or even a decent backup bass. The fast neck makes it a delight to play and for this reason alone it is likely to see a lot of casual use by owners. It’s worth every penny of 0. One caution… This Jag is 43″ long so finding a gig bag that fits it nicely without being way too long is difficult. Most guitar gig bags are too short and most bass gig bags are too long. 0
