Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass fretless - Great guitars for under $200 bucks -

Squier Vintage Modified Jazz fretless demo. My friend came to visit & said lets make a video! Not what i had in mind but... she had great questions and wanted to know about my guitars. So this series was born, Great bass guitars for under $200 bucks, reviewing guitars & basses costing $150-$350, that aren't crappy; what to look for, why some things are the way they are... but for the meaning of life, check Monty Python. Otherwise leave a comment, rate (5 stars is good) or question and hopefully it will inform we artists and the manufacturers too. No more stank gear! If we're cutting trees, make it worth it.

Endless respect to you, Paapakobe! There's a real feel in your playing style. I wish I could play my bass guitar half the way

[paapakobe]

@fofotti Thank you - I used to "practice" my feel, get really intense about what sounds /expressions you can generate, even garbage, but be really self-analytical about the technique you used to get there. You'll learn how the instrument responds to you and know how to get it to do that every time. Playing with that knowledge has you be more expressive regardless of riffs & chords & gear. You won't need 127notes/min to sound "good."

I bought one of these basses, particularly a vintage modified jazz bass (the '77 style one, with the maple fretboard)... I'm used to expensive brand instruments as a guitar player, and never liked the squier standard guitars (ok I hate them), so you can imagine I didn't expected the bass to be good when I saw it at the store... until I played it. I still can't believe it! It sounds great, plays great, feels great, better than many Mexican Fenders.

Great playing by the way, and a great review!

[paapakobe]

@handrix89 True, my playing is great and the Vintage & Vibe series are really well done - i mean thanks for tuning in haahhaa (but yeah i like my playing here too!). The feel & sound of this bass is really inspiring. I'm a guitarist too & this has been my fav axe for the past 2years. I almost got that 77 but i just don't like block markers or bound necks.

the fretboard its secure, like it woulld not bend with the time?

[paapakobe]

@danielhl22 A fretboard MUST bend. The neck & truss rod are more responsible for that. The question is, "how long will the surface last with round-wound strings?" ! That's what I'm keeping my eye on.

is ecko of lost

oh the bridge I replaced on it was a babicsz bridge you won't regret it!

I put an ebanol neck on my squier vintage 70s from the fretted 4 string version. I call it franken squier the ebanol neck and those duncan designed pickups create a feel of something else... check it out I posted it on here...

[paddy27398]

@paapakobe i didn't like them either but i was wondering how long the neck would last with

rotto sound round wound strings

[ryevick]

I just ordered one of these online... can't wait to play it....

[handrix89]

@paapakobe lol good thing you like your own playing, I can see you're at peace with your own self!! btw I wrote "didn't expected" before, that's a consequence of not using english for a while :P. Thanks for your good vibe, man! That fretless is in good hands, keep on making it sing.
