impressive

I was extremely impressed with the playability, sound and quality of this bass. I've been playing for 35 years and never taken the plunge on a 5 string but glad I did. It's a little heavier than a 4 string but really not bad and it looks and plays extremely well. As a newbie to 5 strings I initially found it very alien after a lifetime with Fender 4 strings but the extra string adds great versatility. I played a bunch of 5 strings before getting this and I really don't regret buying this at all, love it!!

Excellent 5 string Bass Guitar for price.

Have been playing on my Yamaha TRB 1005, Peavey Cirrus BXP 5 string (not the cheap one) my ESP-LTD Natural B-255 5 string, (all active basses) and my passive 1976 Maple Precision with a Leo Quan Badass bridge and original p-ups/electronics.

I played a friends Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass (Natural 5 string) and was both surprised and impressed. So I bought one. Have to say, I love the feel, (the neck) and the tone. The Douglas Designed pick-ups sound great. I also think it's a great looking bass. It puts out plenty of volume and punch even though it's passive. In reality, it's a he!! of a 5 string Bass for the price. I plan on playing this Bass a lot.

5 string Geddy Lee ?

Great sounding B string, isn't that my we play 5 strings? Great quality and looks at 1/5th the price of a fender deluxe. Matchs up close to my Geddy Lee in output. also no battery needed witch in my opinion is a plus. Played 5 shows now without a backup

Very Happy with the Squier Bass

I needed a spare to take with me when I am playing gigs and This turned out to be much more than I expected. I have a 1993(I think) Finder Jazz V plus with the kubiki electronics etc. and I find myself reaching for this one more and more. It is well made, plays and sounds great.
