Might get some crap for this but I wanna see another go at Fenders Dimension bass. I picked one up and just love it.... but the 18v electronics can piss right of. Make it passive, give it to Squire and I would guess that alot more people would give it a shoot. It would be a great option for humbucking enthusiasts.
Honestly I just got a cv70 jazz bass the first one the truss rods was maxed out before I even walked out he store, and then the one they replaced that with had the same exact issue but the tech at Sam ash ended up stripping the truss rod but the third times the charm 😅
antigua is one of those colors you think is really cool until you own one and eventually realize how bad it really is. Then you sell it, and years later you find yourself thinking, "that's a cool color, I should get another."
I love the idea of a Squire Starcaster bass. Sure do the traditional color finishes. Then go a few steps further out and do some blue, red & toxic green sparkle finishes as well.
Two basses I want to see on the shelves (although I will probably end up trying to build one or both myself at some point)... 1/ Berry Oakley's Tractor Bass 2/ Lee Sklar's double P (complete with producer switch)
Don’t you DARE say that!!! THIS YEAR ALONE I have had to convince my wife that I needed the Ibanez SR590 (1993 vintage) and a short scale bass. We agreed on the Shell Pink Rascal, but it was out of stock. I ended up with the Surf Green Mustang and then I get the email that the Shell Pink Rascal is in stock. I also get the notification that Squire is releasing 3 Antigua colored instruments BUT that the P-Bass would NOT be coming to the USA. TWO FRIGGING HOURS AFTER I ORDER THE RASCAL… Chicago Music Exchange announces that they have the exclusive on the Antigua P-Bass. Now I have to convince the wife that I NEED the Antigua (it’ll be my round wound string P-Bass and the 40th Anniversary Gold Edition in Pacific Blue will be the flatlands with (yes) Labella gold flats) P-bass…. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CONVINCE HER I NEED THE ANTIGUA JAZZ BASS? “Because they match” isn’t gonna be good enough!!
The Paranormal series needs to continue! I’d personally love to see the Coronado bass and the Katana bass! Launching both could be a cool blend of old/futuristic bass designs!
The Jazz Bass is always gets excluded. Fender didn't even reissue a 70's Jazz bass in the American Vintage II line. I wish Fender would bring back the Signature models. one that comes to mind is the Squier Mikey Way Signature Mustang. I would love a Fender Prodigy in the Squier line 🍺 🇨🇦
I put a 1983 MIJ Maple Squier Bullet Bass neck on my 1999 Natural finish Squier Precision Affinity bass body. The s/n CD99****'s are the only year Squier made a natural finish body. The nut is 40mm. Just between the 42mm Precision Bass nut and the 38mm Jazz Bass nut. I also replaced the original small stock 250k pots with quality full size 500k pots and a .022uf Orange Drop cap. I'd put it up against any USA made Fender bass. Unbelievable instrument for very little money.
What is also missing in the Squier lineup for guitars as wel as basses is.. Acoustasonic versions, (there should also a Fender acoustasonic bass too..) , i think.. I would buy an Acoustasonic Squier Jazz Bass instantly ….
Id like a 51 pbass with two single coil p bass pickups in a jazz bass configuration or right nrxt to each other wired as a humbucker in the pbass sweet spot
Fender Japan made a semi-acoustic P-Bass called the PBAC-100… semi-hollow with an F-hole, P-Bass Lace Sensor pickup (it was the mid-1990’s) and a piezo in a wood acoustic-style bridge. If Squire could pull that off for $700 I’d get it… it was $700 in 1993 from Japan so I figure that’s not a bad asking price in 2024 considering a real PBAC-100 commands $2,000 plus today….
@@JonnyDibble I had one in my lap when I was 15. It was $700 and I couldn’t even think of asking my dad to buy it for me. Turns out I had a choice that day, either that bass or a 6 string bass. I picked 6 string and ended up with a beautiful Ibanez SR506 in Translucent Teal (I now own the 4 string SR590 Translucent Teal and am on the hunt for the teal 506, all built in the mid-1990’s). But, if Squire could pull that off (THEY HAVE THE TEMPLETS AND THE CAD FILES FFS!!!😂😂) I would be first in line….
All I want is a Squier Aerodyne Bass...at least the configuration. Jazz body, J pickup and P Pickup, 2 vol, 1 tone, Jazz neck. Why is that so out of the ballpark?
Squier Meteora...YEAH!! In the past I onwed a Chris Aiken Precision Bass with a mirrored pickguard, so in reason for that I was thinking about a...Squier Steve Harris P-Bass? A Squier version with almost the same look but cheaper specs?! Why not?!
I play the Classic Vibe Mustang, the perfect size and handling for me. So, more Mustangs! Maybe a Contemporary Active Mustang? Or a five string Mustang (if it can still handle well)? Or, just put the Paranormal Rascal Bass HH pickups and bridge on a Mustang body? That would be perfect!
You forgot the Rascal in FullScale length. Not that Shortscale stuff (eben if its really great). If that existed, I wouldn't have gone for the Vintera II Tele. Which, of course, would also be a nice one in the Line up (they had a Tele some years ago). Maybe with 2 PUs, like the 2012 Tele from Fender. And you forgot to mention the Matt Freeman Precision, by far the best Bass they ever made. And, even if I don't like Jazz basses too much: Why not go for a signature Jazz? Don't think there are too many …
Personally, I'd like to see Fender/Squier offer something for the modern bassist, something with a two-octave neck. To my knowledge, there's never been a 24-fret Fender bass. I'm nearly 60 and own a Fender subsidiary (Jackson) bass that offers this, but Fender seem so stuck in the past, it's painful.
Be nice if you could get the basses that they already make. I want a pink Rascal but I can't have one because it's exclusive to the US. Ok, so I'll have a green one. Nope. Can't get one as they're all sold out and no-one knows when they'll be restocked. JUST MAKE MORE!!
I nearly bought an an Antigua Precision back in '93. I was choosing my first pro-level bass in a store and I ended up going for an '89 2EQ Stingray over the Precision. I don't regret my decision - the Musicman has been a trusty friend ever since - but I did like the Fender.
I'd like Squier to make more 5-string P-basses, like a VM series.. I have one, this model is almost impossible to find now. And I'd like it in Antigua :)
You say the Starcaster Bass, but I'm wanting more hollowbody, or "thinline" versions of Fender's models, in general. On the six-string front, I'd die for a thinline Jazzmaster, but I'd love to also see a thinline Tele Bass. Or better yet, here's one for you - how about a thinline Mustang Bass that's trying to be a bit of a parallel universe Hofner Beatle Bass? That very vintage "dead-sounding" tone is something that Fender just doesn't have an option for in their catalog. If Fender don't want to take a risk on something like that, releasing it through Squier would be amazing. And then they'd probably make a MiM or MiA version once it inevitably flies off the shelf. 😅
I had to subscribe. I am a fan of cheap guitars. I have some name brands but when i played guitar it was Epi LPs and SGs. When i went to bass it is Squier and SBMM. If i record anything then it is on the expensive models. At gigs no one cares. On tracks it has to be precise but even my cheaper versions feel just as good to play. Live is not recprded and without a contract travelling you and getting wild and walking around and sweating and occasional crap thrown do you teally want a 1200 to 5 thousand dollar guitar damaged?
I had both the Squier JV Precision and JV Jazz from 1982-83. They both had dead spots in the neck especially the Jazz. My 2014 Indonesian Squier Ava Gardner Precision is much better.
Everything I've seen on the FSR Antigua Bursts is they are only in Europe. How about hose of us in the North America? When I first saw an Antigua Burst I thought eww! Since then they grew on me. Now I think they are really cool looking.
I'd just like Fender to make P basses with a body routing and scratchplate that means you can adjust the truss rod with taking the neck off.....small wins!
Over the last couple of years Squier prices have gone way up to mid range prices. I prefer Harley Benton, some models e.g. the JB75 offer the same quality as a vintage modified squier at half the price
I had no CLUE they made a Starcaster bass before! WE NEED IT BACK and YES it'd fit well in the Squier Paranormal series. Let's get wacky with it! AND YES YES YES I been wanting a Squier Meteora bass for so long now! Gimme that opal spark with maple board so I don't gotta Frankenstein my own.
I have a 1982 MIJ Squier P Bass and it’s a good as any P Bass I’ve ever played. Fantastic instrument. Squier make fantastic instruments. Don’t look at the label and allow psychology to dictate quality. Let your ears and your hands be your guide.
Personally I just want them to bring back the fretless basses that look similar to a Jaco Pastorius bass (sunburst without no pickguard). I had one years ago, it sounded incredible for the price. I did a cover of Malignant Narcissism and it sounded great on that. I got rid of it for another bass, missed it so much that I got one used but it wasn't quite the same as that first one.
I would love to see a short scale Jazzmaster bass with the same type of pickups the guitars have but of course make it more bass like. On the upper switch be a series parallel so in series you get a more p bass sound and in parallel a more jazz sound. I’m a huge fan of Jazzmasters in general so that be a no brainer. I agree with the starcaster they are killer instruments and definitely need a good budget friendly price.

I would love to see Squier do a true Jaguar bass that has all the switches and knobs that the Fender Jaguar bass has.
+1 for this idea
Yep. Great shout
A Mark Hoppus Jag by Squier would be SICK
A 32" scale Jazz Bass
A Sherwood Green P bass with maple neck and fretboard
Shell pink Dimension
Stop it now 😍
Plus one to the medium scale jazz!
Might get some crap for this but I wanna see another go at Fenders Dimension bass. I picked one up and just love it.... but the 18v electronics can piss right of. Make it passive, give it to Squire and I would guess that alot more people would give it a shoot. It would be a great option for humbucking enthusiasts.
I second that. There even has been a Squier Dimension Bass already, so it shouldn't be too hard for them. Lots of options there!!
I'd like to see something like the fender blacktop jazz bass with 2 sets of split p bass pickups.
Let’s have a Squier series Boxer bass, or Aerodyne models. I’ll end up buying one of each. 😊
Could try a modern bass, you know something contemporary?
Jazz Master bass!!!!!
schetor gota cool semi hollow
Also, they don't make enough 5 string Squier models.... 😢
Asking fender to what?? Give people what they want ?! Blasphemy
😅😅😅
@@JonnyDibble I'm still waiting for matching headstocks.
Fender: no you can’t have a P bass with a Jazz neck because fuck you! Not even on the “mod shop” where you pick all the components!!
@@TheBassJourney they’ve done a few limited edition ones with matching headstocks recently!
@@BassRacerxThen they did it for the cheapest model: Squier Sonic Precision.
Squier Starcaster and Meteora YES!!! Would buy both the day they were available.
Would be so cool!
I would love Squier to make a Coronado bass. I used to have a reissue Fender but it got stolen and I just don't have the expenses to get a new 1.
Amazing idea!
More contemporary series. That dont have QC issues haha😂
😅😅😅
Honestly I just got a cv70 jazz bass the first one the truss rods was maxed out before I even walked out he store, and then the one they replaced that with had the same exact issue but the tech at Sam ash ended up stripping the truss rod but the third times the charm 😅

NEED a natural one.
@@JonnyDibble I also dig your Strat bass idea as well. C'mon Squire, they'll sell like hotcakes!
Two basses I want to see on the shelves (although I will probably end up trying to build one or both myself at some point)...
1/ Berry Oakley's Tractor Bass
2/ Lee Sklar's double P (complete with producer switch)
Producer switch would be HILARIOUS
If they do a Squier Jazz in Antigua I'm having it.
Surely they will add it to the line up

I’d love it if they made a Mustang bass in Dakota Red, or a Slab Body Precision bass
My Squier Chris Aiken signature and Squier Mike Dirnt signature basses are better than my Mexican basses, hands down.
30" scale P bass and J bass. I know they offer a mini P bass, but it's just too small and has quality control issues.
The Squier 50s P bass is their best bass it sounds and feels fantastic. Itching to get a sunburst one lol
Don't forget the Matt Freeman signature!
Godin made a so called Shifter Bass some years ago. This bass was more or less a Stratocaster Bass. At least with the pick-ups configuration.
Squier Roscoe Beck inspired bass maybe
The Paranormal series needs to continue! I’d personally love to see the Coronado bass and the Katana bass! Launching both could be a cool blend of old/futuristic bass designs!
100%!
Yes to Coronado bass!

A squier butter cream 70s classic vibe jazz bass with a black pickguard
I didn’t like the neck of the Rascal
A passive meteora would rule. Love the silverburst
Bring back the jazz bass special fender!
I’d love to see a Bronco bass VI.
It’s called a Stratocaster😂😂😂
Jaguar with a reverse p in the neck position and a mm style humbucker in the bridge position
I put a 1983 MIJ Maple Squier Bullet Bass neck on my 1999 Natural finish Squier Precision Affinity bass body. The s/n CD99****'s are the only year Squier made a natural finish body. The nut is 40mm.

Why..... Why did squire come with the Antigua now, I've got zero basd budget... Even tho I'm really happy with my sire P5, Antigua....
I'd love it if they made a Squier Venus Bass.

Dear Fender,
Start taking notes.
Kind regards,

I've always wanted an aerodyne but I'm too poor. The newer design, I'm not a fan of. I'd love a cheaper version.

Squire version of Aerodyne would be nice..
Also the Big Block bass w dual humbuckers would be sweet
Give me a squier paranormal short scale Mustang with dimension pickups
A Squier Meteora would be awesome! Bring back the Matt Freeman signature bass!
squier jaguar bass- proper one with original active eletronics and JJ pickups
Squier NEED to drop and affinity bass vi that’s like $300. Stripped down to one pick up, no vibrato but keep the strangler switch.
If we're talking purely finishes, a few copies of the Japanese FSR's would be amazing, especially the paisley finish in black/white.

A Mike Dirnt Squier with a maple neck would be sick.
But also a pink Squier mark hoppus j bass would sell even faster (even tho Green Day is better…)
A squier meteora would be such an awesome mod platform if they make it with the double j pickups, at least for me. Would buy it without hesitation.
Or even a squier version of the old blacktop precision bass

No one really cares about your opinion though. They’ll keep doing what they’re doing because they apparently sell.
22 frets minimum! ... PJ passive, ash body, maple neck (and fingerboard). That's it.
More left handed colour options is what I want to see from Squier and Fender, not just sunburst and black which is currently all Squier offer
Looks like some Retrovibe Basses in some of those pictures....

I'd love a Squier Super-Sonic Bass but the neck dive trolls would come out in full force.
I wish they'd release all their instruments left-handed, the company's big enough for it. I'd love to be able to play one of their paranormals

If Fender used their Squier line to get a little crazy this year, I'm sure that nobody here would complain.
The Matt Freeman P bass was so nice they stopped making them.
I had a vista series supersonic which was japanese my friend had vista musicmaster bass which was korean i think ....which is weird
I'm disappointed a Jaguar wasn't part of the new Antigua range.

A true Squier pj bass that has p body but a jazz neck. I made mine from two affinities and it is an absolute game changer!
They need to make lefty squire mustang basses as well as jaguars !
How about a classic vibe pj 5 string with a jazz neck that is blocked and has binding on a non maple board? Say candy apple red or lake placid blue?

A 51 P Bass but with a wide range humbucker and a rosewood board ..
jazz body & neck with precision pickup?
They need to make a Telecaster bass with the wide range humbucker😊
We need a Squier Flea Bass with his humbucker 😍
they should definitely do an andy rourke signature model
A squier starcaster bass in british racing green (like that new p bass they have out) would be to die for
I just want a Squier Jaguar with 30". Screw 32, I want THIRTY!
As soon as you mentioned the Katana, I knew you’d mention Jordan, lmao.
What about a Squier Dibble Dimension bass???
I never thought about that last one but that is true we haven’t seen much artist series from Squier anymore 🤔
Who would you have wanted to have a sig?
They should keep the Squiers cheap, keep the Fenders expensive and introduce a middle-priced line called Squender.
I don’t get not having an Antigua Jazz bass. Doesn’t make any sense at all.
Second the call for a Squier Meteora, I'd be all over that like a rash!
They should bring back the MB bass!
