a solid bass on a budget
First of all, since there are no helpful reviews on this bass, I thought I would try and write a constructive one. Also, since obviously anyone considering a Squier is looking on the budget end of the spectrum- its pointless to point this is NOT the same as an American Jazz Bass, but is never the less quite a solid bass.
My first impression was very positive and optimistic. It seemed to be set up decently. I tweaked the intonation and adjusted the truss rod a touch to lower the action a bit. The Tobacco Sunburst finish is excellent for a bass in this price range even if the wood itself leaves a bit to be desired (more on that later). The neck, while much thinner in width and narrower at the nut than most Fender neck profiles, has a very subtle radius that allows for ease of play. Like I said, with a minor tweak of the truss rod- the action is quite good. I can play quick lines at the 12th fret, and get little to no buzz whatsoever while playing on the lower frets. This is...

Got it to play well with a setup and some work
I don't expect any instrument to play the way I like out of the box and the Squier was no exception - but I like to tinker so it's rarely a problem. The strings it came with were closer to Rotosound in feel than the flatwounds I prefer so they had to go. The neck had too much relief and the action was too high. Fortunately, adjusting the truss rod and string saddles was easy (Be sure to search the box for the taped bag of hex wrenches before you throw it away!).
In my opinion, the nut wasn't shaped very well: The open strings sat too high making the first fret uncomfortable to press. The strings also sat too deep in their slots and the amount of surrounding nut material was likely to hamper sustain and clarity. Finally, the slots themselves were laid out too closely even for such a narrow neck. I made a replacement nut that feels much better.
But this ties into what I think is a genuine manufacturing flaw: The bridge, the metal base that screws to the body, is...
