The Vintage Modified Fender Squier Precision Bass MN Amber is a particularly flexible electric bass that offers first-class playing comfort and a fat sound at an extremely attractive price. The four-string has an Agathis body in the well-known P-Bass design, which takes up a comfortable playing position both on the belt and on the thigh. In addition, the screwed maple neck with the "Modern C" profile, which is not too strong, offers unimpeded playability over the entire maple fingerboard. On the bass amplifier, the Fender Designed Split Coil in the middle position guarantees a rich low end growl for pushing groove. The timbre can be precisely adjusted using the classic passive circuit. Last but not least, the Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass features classic hardware in the form of a Squier 4-Saddle Pure Vintage bridge and precise Open Gear tuners.
I bought this Fender Squier Fretless because of the price and specs, not hoping to get a hand built masterpiece...
The sound is great the pickups are very close to the american vintage ones with that P-Bass character. They are well insulated with almost no static or hum. Electronics are ok, with 250k split shaft pots and a decent jack (good contact, no noises...)
The neck is made from hard maple and the fingerboard is made from ebonol (some kind of plastic as Im aware) with cream fretlines. It is very comfortable to play and also very fast. To a more purist sound and to preserve the fingerboard I recommend switching the strings to flatwounds...
The body is made from Agathis and is very light: too much for my taste because it causes the neck to drop a bit when playing with a strap...
In the hardware chapter, the tuners are nice, the barrels, plates, screws are ok but the bridge is horrible! It does the job but the plating is irregular and misses some areas... Its a shame...
The finish (paint job and varnish) is bad. The Indonesian factory should improve their quality control. I noticed bad sanding spots in the wood and clots/drops of paint and varnish.
I like to play this bass, I like the tone of this bass but unfortunately I dont love this bass...
