Members georgestrings Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 ...and this was the 4th or 5th that I've played that were ALL nice basses... It had a nice neck, with decent fretwork, good fit and finish, excellent sound, and good working tuners - for $279, what's not to love??? I put it on layaway - should have it in a couple of weeks... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are not crap in my experience(played atleast 4 or 5)... As for sound, I've been a lifelong Precision player, due to the tonal differences between them and Jazzes - but between my Active Jazz Deluxe and this Vintage Modified, I'm being converted... I just played it through a Mark IV and a 410TVX they had in the store, and it sounded great - with all kinds of tonal possibilities... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 so they are not crap? Played one last weekend. Was pretty nice for the price point. Satin finish on the neck felt plasticky, but it was smooth and played well. Didn;t have the "cut" my 75 does, but again, its $275. Saw a couple minor finish flaws, specifically in the neck binding. Its a squire, so if you are used to "nicer" basses, it is a step down. If you need a back up or student grade bass, its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly wanted it for the maple board, and natural body - but the rest of the package didn't hurt matters any... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
