Squier Limited-Edition Classic Vibe ‘70s Precision Bass Guitar

Avg price: $439.99

This IS a Precision Bass; Do Not be a Label Snob

In the distant past, Squier received very justified criticism. Moving forward, the brand made great leaps in terms of quality and overall value.

Today, Squier's Classic Vibe basses are (mostly) outstanding, and this Fender Special Run (FSR) is a prime example. I do not know if Squier is paying more attention to their FSR stuff, but this bass is flawless. The fretwork was perfect. Compare that to a non-FSR 70s Squier P that I picked up last year, where the frets were miserably sharp and it took a ton of effort to get them close to "OK".

The "Fender-designed" alnico pickups produce the Precision Tone that ONLY a Precision bass can make.

Cosmetically, this is a gorgeous bass and the Surf Green color is striking. In my opinion, nothing compares to a bound and blocked bass neck. This Precision really stands out.

Finally, I want to give Guitar Center kudos for honoring their Price Match policy, as I originally picked mine up for $399 on sale ($479 list), then, 30 days later, Musician's Friend had it as their Stupid Deal of the Day for $348.

I presented my local GC with my receipt, and they handed me $54 cash. Making this one of the best prices I've ever gotten on new gear.

I can recommend this to any player looking to add a Precision to their collection or to a beginner who wants a bass that can last them for years and years and will not be "outgrown".
