Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass Review

History: I play the bass since I was 14, it was my first instrument. Now I'm 52 and since a few years I started to play again. I play in a coverband and in a schoolband. I like all different kinds of music, but soul and R&B are my favourites.

Purchase: I bought the guitar new in a musicstore and paid 300 euro. I read about the Squier Vintage Modified series in a guitarmagazine.

What I Like About This Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass: Everything! This instrument looks good, sounds great with the Duncan Designed pick-ups en plays smooth. Being vintage myself I can ashure you it sounds like a '60 Fender Precision. The neck feels great and the construction seems built to last. No sharp fretends, stains or cheap materials used.

What I Do NOT Like About The Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass: It's delivered without the chrome covers. I bought these myself as well as a thumbrest and a tortoise shell pickguard. Now it looks even more vintage. The action was a bit high, but in the store they adapted that. In fact no problem, because these alterations are very personal.

Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass Quality: As I said: the construction is very well and the quality of the used materials is good. The intonation was perfect en the neck was straight.

Summary: For this price you better think twice not to buy this Squier. The sound fits good in the bandmix, the bass plays very smooth and it looks good. No wonder the readers of the magazine BassPlayer choosed this Vintage Modified serie as best buy of 2007.
