The Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Left Handed 4-String Left Handed Bass Guitar in 3-Colour Sunburst is a throwback to the classic instruments of the ‘60s and ‘70s and combines a traditional vibe with modern features and feel.
The Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Left Handed features a Basswood body that has been carved into a shape that is recognised throughout the world. This is joined by a slim “C”-shaped Maple neck with a vintage tint finish that is topped by an instantly playable 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard.
From a hardware perspective, the Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Left Handed is fitted with a pair of Fender-Designed Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickups that are joined by a simple control circuit consisting of a pair of pickup-specific volume controls and a single master tone control. This setup allows for a wide range of classic Jazz Bass tones to be easily reached with the minimum of effort.
To finish of the package, the Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Left Handed comes equipped with a vintage-style four-saddle bridge that provides excellent tuning stability, a set of standard open-gear tuners and a classic Tortoiseshell pickguard.
The main features of the Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Left Handed 4-string left handed bass guitar in 3-Colour Sunburst include:
This is a wonderful bass for an incredible price.
It sounds just like it should, and feels just right. As is usually the case, the action was set up a bit high, but with simple truss rod and bridge adjustments, I was able to set it really low, and get lots of the fretless "mwah". The strings it came with were surprisingly fresh and playable.
The ebonol fretboard feels and looks great. It sure is far more durable than any wood, but round-wound strings WILL leave their print upon it, which is apparent immediately. After just a few minutes of playing I could see the strings winding imprinted in the fretboard. Not a big deal, but it will eventually make the fretboard look dull and hazy. I replaced the stock round-wound strings with nylon-wound flats anyway.
The pickups are nothing extraordinary, but very decent-sounding. They deliver the unmistakeable jazz bas tone very well. Im already thinking of replacing them with an EMG JVX set or some Bartolinis with an EQ, but its not because the stock pickups are any bad, but simply because I like to tinker with different pickups, and because I feel that this bass is well worth it.
