Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass fretless

Squier Vintage Modified Jazz fretless - short demo. This is a slice of me improvising. It's from "Great guitars for under $200 bucks," a series reviewing guitars & basses costing $150-$350, that aren't crappy. Please leave a comment, rate it (5 stars is good) or ask question and hopefully we artists can dialog, and the manufacturers listen - the good ones do.

I put some nice heavy gauge flatwound strings on mine. Now it reallllly sounds like an upright. Definitely worth the $300.

I can imagine!

Mine aren't slightly raised at all, maybe it's just the one you have

My repairman didn't notice until I mentioned it. All the "vintage modified" fretless' i've played are like that - it's VERY slight. Spread the strings & run a pointy pick on an angle up the f-board. Also, hold any note that buzzes. Roll your fingertip to flatten/ sharpen the note while playing & you'll hear the buzz 'clean up' whenever you're a little off the white line. You can hear it upplugged. Rosewood f-board fretless aren't like that. Perhaps Fender changed specs /different years?

The plastic fretboard wont be affected by humidity either....so, that is one plus for it.

I get what you mean, I don't think it's purposely done like that though, maybe it's just when they put the silicon lines in the fret slots it's the way they settle..

the next Victor Wooten, and she likes the sound of it...:))
