Squier 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass Gold Edition Olympic White

Get it while you can! this is a limited edition and it's a fantastic looking bass. I think that it sounds great, and exceeds expectations for a Jazz bass at this kind of price. The gold hardware on the Jazz gives the bass some sort of extravagance, especially on such a nice olympic white bass.

I've been a long time guitar player and decided to buy this one as my first bass. Really well built (made in Indonesia) and sounds as good more expensive basses. Looks great too. Hard to beat for quality at that price. Highly recommend as a starter to intermediate bass.

I am more than satisfied with this bass guitar. It was pretty much ready to play right out of the box. It did required minimal adjustment to the action in order to eliminate some fret buzz found within the first four frets. It was However an easy fix. The tone that this bass is able to produce can't be beat for the price. The neck is super sleek and the fretboard feels really nice on the hands. This bass is super playable and is just as versatile as it more expensive counterparts. Don't sleep on this bass. Great for anyone whose just starting out or for a seasoned player looking to upgrade to a warmer tone without spending too much money. With a few upgrades this would bass could potentially meet a professional standard. Giving it 5 stars for how surprised I was by its sound and playability and potential for upgrades. Bonus points for that beautiful finish and gold hardware. It just looks nice. .

Extremely happy with how this Squire Bass plays , feels , and sounds .. no set up needed . Just tuned it up , plugged it into my Ampeg Rocket 500 and was very pleased.. the price was great so I told myself go for it , super glad I did ! Oh it's a beautiful bass also . 👍

This bass is gorgeous. I'm not usually in love with gold, but the combination of the gold and the Olympic white is really nice. The white is more off-white, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm still reserved about the durability of the gold plating, but time will tell. Upon arrival, the neck needed a bit of attention, but nothing major. I gave the truss rod a tweak, and raised the action just a hair and any buzz went away. The bridge is easy to work with, and required Allen wrenches for it and the truss rod are shipped with the bass. Nice touch. You still need a small Phillips screwdriver to adjust the intonation. It plays very easily, and I find myself having to be careful not to dig in too deep or I get string slap due to the low action. I've been playing it daily for over a week and have had to tune up once after the initial setup. It was a little weird, going from 24 frets to 20 in the same scale length, but I've gotten used to it. The pickups are wonderfully sensitive and quiet at the same time. The controls are simple, and produce enough variations in tone to satisfy just about any preference. The neck is very comfortable, and the binding and fret ends are perfect. I like how narrow the neck is, too. It's just like playing my Ergodyne. The gloss finish is way smooth; almost slippery. You want to pay attention if playing without a strap, but I really like the feel. I suggest, perhaps, that Squier consider rounding the top edge of the aluminum pick guard. It feels almost sharp. I've read someone question the choice of wood used in the body, but, in my judgement, tone and sustain on this bass are excellent. This totally belongs on stage. Overall, it's a keeper, and well worth the money.

I own a 2014 Fender American Professional Jazz Bass that did not come to life until I replaced the stock pickups with a set of Lindy Fralin's. My Squire 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass Gold Edition sounded great right out of the box with no modification at all, at a fraction of the cost.
