Punk growl with Pete's signature graphics.
The Squier Pete Wentz Signature Precision Bass Guitar is an axe that fits right in with the Chicago punk scene that the Fall Out Boy co-founder and bassist grew up in. The agathis body is offset by a shell pickguard and the Wentz's iconic bat/heart logo. The Duncan designed split single-coil pickups with alnico magnets carve out that distinctive punk growl you want.

An honest effort
This bass seems like an honest effort on the parts of FMC, but... it falls short of Fender quality and simples stagnates in the "squier" department.
This bass plays like a Squier, that is to say: weak string tension, poor fret work and a very awkward feeling neck. The pickup is even worse, plugging in, I expected to hear the boom and clack of the Duncan 1/4lbs pickup, it sounded more like a doubley wound Squier pickup (which isn't really that bad, just not what I was expecting).
This bass, in all honesty, will not make you sound like Pete Wentz unless you replace the pickup with a real Duncan SPB-3, put a Leo Quan bridge on it and get an Ampeg SVT stack to play through... be warned.

DO NOT BUY IT
This thing is a toy, the only reason to ever buy it is just to have the novelty of the design. You're better off buying a regular Squier P-bass, because at least then you'll be able to control the tone, which is the single most important thing in an instrument. If it doesn't sound good for the song you're playing, there's not changing it. Just don't buy this.

Great Bass
I love this bass. Its great for the price you pay and is good quality too. Its sounds pretty good and its a good fret board. I love the way it sounds and the design is awesome. The best bass ever in my opinion. If your looking to buy a cheap one with good quality, this is the one! Buy it! You won't regret it.

He uses one?
Wow. I would never guess that Pete Wentz used a Squier P-Bass. My brother has a normal P-Bass, and I've played it- it's fair, but no different from this, other than some slight cosmetics. With thirty bucks and some knowledge of guitar parts sights, one could easily make this one (that's probably how Pete did it). A SQUIER? Now that's new.

Who wants to sound like Pete except Pete?
I got this bass on the premise that the advertised "punk growl" might work for my new band. Well, first off all, it's so light that when I pulled it out of the box it nearly got thrown over my shoulder and out my office window. Secondly, four strings make me feel like I'm wearing no pants, as does only one knob. Thirdly, it turns out my measley 6-string Cirrus has more than enough growl to toss that P-Bass into the middle of next week.
