Open Box Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass 77 Level 2 Amber 888366074053

The only things I have changed are the action/bridge and removing the lacquer from the neck with some steel wool. It plays a million times better now. Also, it ships with 100's, so I put some 105's on and sounds even better!

Good Bass Too Heavy!! My Husband had to return it

I am a long time guitarist and aspiring singer who likes to record songs as a hobby. Within the last year I began learning the piano, and recently decided to take up playing bass as well ... both to supplement my recording activities. By no means am I a professional musician, but I play guitar pretty well, my vocal skills are "acceptable", and I am quickly learning basic keyboard and bass techniques. I purchased this bass to support my learning and expand the tonal palette of my recording. I was quite impressed with the quality of instrument that I could purchase at this price point. Based on my many years of experience with guitars, and owning several higher end models from Fender, Gibson and PRS, I believe that the Squier VM Jazz Bass 77 is suitable for more than just beginners.

I have nothing bad to say about this bass!! Even out of the box with no setup it sounds great and there was very little intonation. A bit more fret buzz than I like but not enough that I was perosonall worried about. It arrived on a Thursday and I played it out the following Saturday. It does feel very light which I was concerned with but there is absolutely no loss in tone. I used mild effects on my pj bass and this one sounds great plugged straight in especially if you are comfortable blending your pickups. The inlays make this bass the maple finger board and mop inlays offset the black body perfectly.

Great bass! Great neck. setup well out of the box. I got the 3 tone sunburst, maple neck with white pearl inlays and it's a looker. Miner setup after a few days of use and my specs. From bright and punchy to dark and wooly. I'm very happy.

I had a set of Aguilar Jazz pickups and a John East Retro pre-amp laying around the house so I decided to order an "inexpensive" bass and perform some upgrades. Much to my surprise, this bass needed no upgrades! I own an Fender American P, a Fender Mexican Deluxe PJ, and this is my go-to bass. I have used it on my past few gigs and my last 2 recording sessions. This is a pleasant surprise, and a great value!
