Bass Deal PSA : Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar V

Bod

I've just ordered one of these to satisfy my GAS for a 5 string bass - £154.83

3 colours available, but sunburst is a little more expensive.

I've never played these. Are they any good?

Bod

Yeah, really good.  I took delivery on Friday, but I'm going to return it because my ladylike hands are evidently too small for 5-string basses.

There's lots of variation in tone, and it's very well built, and for 150 quid it's incredible value.  There were a couple of flaws in the finish and a ding on the headstock fresh out of the box, which is disappointing but overall it's lovely.  I'm looking into getting the 4-string version but need to gather the extra funds first.

Crikey - should be very good at that price.

Definitely!  I'm gutted to be sending it back really...
