    Bought the five string version when they first came out, sounded really good until the preamp stopped working. Replaced it with Bartolini electronics and pick-ups. Sounds just a good as my more expensive basses.

    i just got in the shoreline gold version with roasted maple neck, i love it. I already had a 70's jazz bass from Squier that I absolutely love. Im thinking its hit or miss with Squier but the ones Ive bought have been incredible and a great value for what you get

      I was looking at the new ones, but after this experience I wasn't so sure about getting another.

      @@klaymeister check out the 70's jazz bass, i saw nothing but great reviews on it, thats what pushed me over the edge to buy a squier. I was blown away by how great they are, and they sound great too

      I feel the same way. Hated the jaguar I started on. But, I loved my buddy's jazz bass. Maybe the regular p bass and jazz bass are the way to go with Squier

    The wiring is wrong. I have one and both sets of wiring are the same not swapped like yours.

    It looks like someone already had that bass apart from the state of inside that back cavity!

      @@klaymeister Welp, just got an email from GC saying my order was cancelled. I contacted them and found out it's because the bass is being repaired, so that's good. I don't mind having to find another one, but I guess I won't be getting your bass after all. Not unless they relist it before I find another one.

    I hate the pickups on this bass,...nasally sounding ceramics with a active preamp that can't cover up that flaw. And a rough neck that feels like it was never introduced to some sandpaper.

      I have this bass, and you said it well, it has a nasal sound, it sounds like old strings. Doesn't sound like jazz bass
