Bottom Line:
Overall, the Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass is an excellent bass for the price. It is only around$300, but for the price it is surprisingly good and can even compete with many high end basses. It has a nice body and neck, and the pickups are very nice. This bass is pretty versatile and you can get some good tones for either fingerstyle playing or slapping. The bass looks really nice, and the black inlay/binding is a nice feature that is hard to find on basses that aren’t at least twice the price. The only minor flaw some people complain about is the action…but as with any bass, you can adjust that and set it up properly. For the price, this is a great bass that is sure to please anyone.
