What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While Certified Open Box items from Squier do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items

Super nice appearance and quality
This was a gift so we only had a chance to tune it, play a few notes to test it and the sound was great. It has a beautiful finish and craftmanship seems high quality. It's perfect for teaching in the classroom setting. Also, it was packaged very securely for shipping and arrived quickly from Sweetwater. Customer service from Sweetwater is excellent! Very satisfied with this product and recommend it. Thanks to Edward Vien for all your help in selecting this bass guitar, amp, and bundle package for our son! He loved it!

Great Stock or to Mod
This bass came 8n great shape and sounded pretty good stock.

I was able to set it up and the action with stock hardware was great.

However, I purchased this to modify. All Fender and after market parts for American Precision Basses fit without modification. Except for the tuners but I purposely got the old clunky vintage style.

Upgrades are:
* Fender Jazz Style neck for PBass with 1.5" nut and 12" radius.
*Graphtech Tusq XL nut.
*Hipshot tuners with matching Drop D tuner
*Semour Duncan Qtr Pounder PJ set.
*Fender Hi-Mass Bridge
*Fender PBass knobs
*Completely rewired with CTS pots, oil bucket tone capacitor with gavett cloth 22g wire.
*Schaller strap locks
*ZeroMod thumb rest
ALL SCREW HOLES LINED UP PERFECTLY... better than original for pickguard.

WHAT A GEM
Don't let the price discourage you from this Bass Guitar, very high Fender quality and sound. I was totally taken by the precise accuracy of the fretboard and pickups. So don't hesitate on this Jewel.

Great Bass
I got this bass for another place but it is a Great playing and sounding bass. It is very hard to believe that it was under 400. It plays great and sits great on the strap!! You and get the neck straight and the action pretty low with hardware it comes with. Also it looks very cool.
