The Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass PJ in Candy Apple Red is a four-string bass guitar based on the Fender Precision, but with both Jazz and Precision pickups.
The Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass PJ features an agathis body in the classic double-cutaway Precision body shape, decorated with a Lake Placid Blue finish and a three-ply black pickguard. The neck is made of maple and cut with a modern ‘C’-shape neck profile for a comfortable playing experience. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard, offering a 9.5” radius and 20 frets with dot inlays.
The Vintage Modified P-Bass PJ is fitted with a Fender-designed Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickup in the bridge position and a Fender-designed Split Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup in the middle position, providing both Jazz and Precision sounds, ideal for most musical genres. The pickups are controlled by dedicated Volume controls and a shared Master Tone control for dialling in your perfect sound.
The Squier VM P-Bass PJ has a four-saddle Standard Vintage-style bridge with single groove saddles and Standard Open-Gear tuners, which promote stable tuning.

Squier Squier VM P-Bass PJ RW CAR Candy Apple RedI 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...
