The Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass V 5-String Bass Guitar in Candy Apple Red combines the style, power and appeal of a classic Precision Bass with the extended range that is demanded by many modern bassists.
The Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass V features an instantly recognisable gloss-finished Basswood body that is accompanied by a 34”-scale Maple neck. The neck itself is topped with a highly playable 9.5”-radius, 20-fret Maple fingerboard with black dot inlays, and is finished with a classic Precision Bass headstock.
The body of the Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass V is equipped with a powerful Fender-Designed single split-coil Precision Bass V pickup that is connected to simple master volume and tone controls. This setup allows for a wide range of classic bass tones to be easily achieved, meaning that the Vintage Modified Precision Bass V is at home playing any style of music imaginable. Completing the hardware selection is a 5-string standard vintage-style bridge, standard open-gear tuners, knurled flat-top control knobs and a three-ply parchment pickguard.
The main features of the Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass V 5-string bass guitar in Candy Apple Red include:

Squier VM P-Bass V MN OWH Olympic WhiteI 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...
