Offset-ness

There is a quality to the fender offsets that is distinctly guttural, somehow throaty and mid-range heavy, and I absolutely love it. Only complaints are those to expect of an offset, that stupid bridge. I know, I know, I keep up with MM Guitar Bar and I know there's a proper way to set it up, but I just can't get it right. So eventually I'll just get a mastery and everything will be great.

And when I say everything I actually mean everything. This guitar is otherwise perfect. Pickups are duncan designed and the neck has a true Fender feel; the gloss is pristine, and the fingerboard is made from the most beautiful cut of rosewood I've ever seen. Bang for your buck? Absolutely.

Above and beyond.

100% agree. That bridge isn't worth trying to set up, in my opinion. I gave up and went for a mastery.

its a real pain to make those vintage mustang saddles behave with modern playing styles.... they really are impossible to set-up if you are a remotely heavy handed player

and the vibrato system is not Leo's best work either, like a strat, even when set-up perfectly it will not be perfect even if nly used moderately

Distorted Vocals

I use the red howler for a gritty vocal sound.

Awesome

The neck pickup is 200% meat and the bridge pickup works well with fuzz!

Good Enough

Here's the truth, it sounds mostly the same as a Fender Precision Bass. I might venture to say that it's a little darker tone wise than an actual Fender P, but I think that's because the strings on my friends Fender P are pretty fresh. The key difference, I think, is playability. My Squier P is just not as easy to play as a Fender P. The neck is kind of chunky and the action comes stock at a medium height. Also, the neck is not glossy, a feature that I will look for when purchasing my next bass. The Squier P also has a cheaper look to it, but that is as much as I can articulate about it's appearance in comparison to a Fender P. Something about it is... Rounder? It looks like a little bubbly next to an actual Fender P. All in all, it's really not that bad. I love mine to death, but it is my first bass.. It handles fuzz and effects just fine as far as I'm concerned

Poor standalone

Sometimes I layer this over the Big Muff.

My go-to guitar pick.
