The best features of this product would have to be the pickups these humbuckers produce an awesome tone with just enough grit to growl
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
One of the best basses I've every owned in my 30 years of playing bass...I rate it right up there with my Rickenbacker 4003FG.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Humbuckers are nice and hot...neck pickup has a nice low endgrowl and the bridge pickup adds nice clarity to the highs.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The Finish is beautiful. The Butterscotch Blonde looks great and the neck stain creates a vintage look.

Once again hard to tell from an MIA Fender.These new Modern Players are another game entirely.Ya china sucks but they make a heck of a guitar here.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
I've had a squier tele bass before and it was great except it could be abit muddy.With the two humbuckers though one can pull back on the neck and keep the bridge pickup up and wow!Monster tone.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Darkerer but no mud if you know what an eq is.Real fat sounding bass.I would not put flats on it.Might go to mud on you but with DR Hi Beams or good old Ernie Ball it will sing like a very large bird.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Looks like a MIA Fender.Time will tell how the finish holds up.I've heard these chinese Fender and yes I dislike china too but these are suppossed to be out of the same plant as the Classic Vibe seris Squiers are out of.But now badged as Fender.
