Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass PJ Candy Apple Red
Four-string electric bass with PJ pickup and passive electronics
The Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass PJ Candy Apple Red is a particularly flexible electric bass that offers first-class playing comfort and multi-faceted sounds between Jazz Bass and Preci at an extremely attractive price. The four-string has an Agathis body in the well-known P-Bass design, which occupies a comfortable playing position on the belt as well as on the thigh. The screwed maple neck also offers unimpeded playability across the entire Indian Laurel fretboard with the not too strong "Modern C" profile. The combination of a Fender Designed Single Coil on the bridge and a FenderDesignedSplit Coil in the middle position guarantees versatile sound images between a rich low end growl and high assertiveness, which can be perfectly adjusted with the classic passive circuitry. Last but not least, the Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass PJ features classic hardware in the form of a Squier 4-Saddle Pure Vintage bridge and precise Open Gear tuners.
With a single coil on the bridge and a split coil in the middle, the Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass PJ delivers versatile sounds.

I bought this Fender Squier Fretless because of the price and specs, not hoping to get a hand built masterpiece...
The sound is great the pickups are very close to the american vintage ones with that P-Bass character. They are well insulated with almost no static or hum. Electronics are ok, with 250k split shaft pots and a decent jack (good contact, no noises...)
The neck is made from hard maple and the fingerboard is made from ebonol (some kind of plastic as Im aware) with cream fretlines. It is very comfortable to play and also very fast. To a more purist sound and to preserve the fingerboard I recommend switching the strings to flatwounds...
The body is made from Agathis and is very light: too much for my taste because it causes the neck to drop a bit when playing with a strap...
In the hardware chapter, the tuners are nice, the barrels, plates, screws are ok but the bridge is horrible! It does the job but the plating is irregular and misses some areas... Its a shame...
The finish (paint job and varnish) is bad. The Indonesian factory should improve their quality control. I noticed bad sanding spots in the wood and clots/drops of paint and varnish.
I like to play this bass, I like the tone of this bass but unfortunately I dont love this bass...
