    I've always played a Fender jazz with Rotosound rounds, aka the finger board destroyer......never owned a P bass but this Squier P bass caught my attention as a great way to dip my toes into a seemingly high quality Precision bass. It looks similar to the Fender Aerodyne jazz bass with its dual p bass neck pickups and j bass bridge pickup. I'd like to ask this group of respectable bass virtuosos if they can share any feedback from their own "personal ownership" their recommendations after some time playing a Squier P/J pickup configuration and an Aerodyne jazz bass with what appears to be the same pickup configuration, P/J combination. Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Definitely avoid these basses! I had always wanted a 5-string and had also wanted to try a Fender or Squier Jazz bass. I also primarily play rock/metal type music, so this bass checked all the boxes for me! I pre-ordered it in early March of 2002. It wasn't until Early October of 2002 that I actually had it in my hands. When I pulled it out of the box, I loved the way it looked and felt, and it played very well. I thought this was going to be the bass I had been looking for. Then I plugged it in..... It played beautifully for a minute or two and I loved the way it sounded. Then all of the sudden the sound cut out and I had this horrendous squeal coming out of my amp. I thought, that was weird. I tried a different cable, and I was getting the same weird cutting out and squealing. So I tried a different amp....same thing. Then I tried a few different cables and had the same problem. I looked on the Fender website and they told me to bring it to a local Fender dealer for a warranty repair. I brought it in, and the tech discovered that it had some "shoddy soldering" on the circuit board. They fixed that and called me and said it was good to go! Excited, I hopped in my car and picked up the bass and got it home and plugged it in and was very happy to hear that it was once again playing perfectly. A few minutes later, I got the horrendous squeal again!! I felt quite defeated. This bass that I was so excited about, so excited to get, and so excited to play was just riddled with problems. Now I have to bring it back to the guitar shop to have them look at it again. .....and I don't live close to this shop, the closest one is 1/2 hour away from where I live so I am spending quite a bit of time driving back and forth to get this thing looked at. I have always heard that the Squier line of basses and guitars are a great value for your money and they are well worth it. I can't tell you, at least in my experience, they are not. I would avoid this bass like crazy till they can get their quality control in line. For me, time to hop back in my car and drive to the repair shop for the second time!!!
