Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The body is very well-made, weight is good, finish looks great. Poor setup out of the box. This is my second one, and just like the one I owned a year ago, this one needed the fingerboard leveled above the 12th fret-line. Bridge plate screws were loose, and if you ever want to install a pickguard just for the heck of it, you can't-the control cavity/plate doesn't line up where it should-didn't on the other one either. If you are willing to spend an hour making some adjustments, this is a great deal. The neck on this one is straight-the last one was bowed and needed to be straightened off the body while clamped to a table Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? Low-cost fretless with nice feel and balance; looks nice; terrific pickups; ease of getting after-market parts. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I like these, but for $300 why can't Squier make this the same quality as the vintage Vibe series?...I'd be willing to pay $50 more to get better overall quality of parts and especially the neck. I also think the lack of a real finish on the neck is dumb. Make it a gloss finish. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The pickups are a little on the bright side, with less bass than most, but they are responsive. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Body finish=A+ Neck finish= F

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I think that this product is easily worth twice the price. That's why I ordered one after having played one. I have a custom made fretless that's my main, but for more casual gigs, this thing is great. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? The pickups sound wonderful for a 300 dollar bass. The neck is slim but sturdy, and it's a comfortable weight. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? This has a fairly wide range of tone (for a J bass), though it's certainly not meaty like a P would be. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish was flawless for what it is. I didn't see any flaws. It isn't a particularly pretty piece of wood, but meh.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It is well built, for sure. I figured I might need to replace the pickups, tuners, or upgrade the bridge to a Badass. I'm leaving it completely stock, except for eventual replacement of the nut. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? THE best feature of this bass is how well it performs VS how little it costs. Everything about the bass has met or exceeded my expectations. It is a fretless JAZZ and it sounds and plays like a very good one, once you get the setup done. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? You can get virtually any tone you want by using the individual pickup volume controls. The passive tone control works perfect at tailoring the correct amount of brightness. Subtle adjustment creates usable changes in the tone, revealing more attack, or mellowing it out a bit. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The poly finish is pretty much flawless. It looks beautiful! I only rated 4 stars because of some imperfections in the wood that show through the finish. But for the money, I'm not really expecting anything better. It is very acceptable.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Overall the bass is well made but apparently the quality control at the factory is a little inconsistent. I played one of these at a local guitar chain store (you know who) and it looked and played perfectly so I decided to purchase one online. The one I got had issues with the line markings on the fretboard. They stuck up past the fretboard face to varying degrees on about 3/4 of the neck producing fret buzz on a fretless bass! Everything else was fine so rather than going through the hassle of return shipping etc. I opted to lightly sand the fretboard to bring the line markings flush with the face. This not only corrected the problem but removed the glossy polished look of the synthetic fretboard and made it look like real untreated ebony. Replaced the strings with flats and she sings like a USA made fretless Fender! Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? The synthetic ebony fretboard is actually denser and resonates better than real ebony. I, like many others here, feel it needs a pickguard so I am adding one. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Fantastic. As nice as any finish job I have seen on USA Fenders.
