This is really tempting! But the guitar police wouldn't like it once they see the headstock logo

For those who have this…how has the durability been?

This is so tempting. I haven't played my current basses in years, but I've been looking for something new to get me back into it. If I were to get this, I might put flatwounds on it.

I got this when it was $300. Very happy with it. I think what's happening is with all the improvements in production technology it's harder to make a bad guitar or bass. Machines are more accurate.

Repped for a good bass deal!

Just bought a Sterling Ray4 so good on the axe, am on the hunt potentially for a 2x10 cab or combo. Still tempted though

Made the switch to flats about a month ago and as someone getting back into bass I love them. Went with slinky cobalt flats.

Super tempting, but I'm not a fan of gold hardware or the pickguard. Otherwise these high end squiers are really solid instruments. Obv there's always a chance you'll get a lemon, but in my experience the good ones are on par with MIM (pickups to taste, ofc).

Not a fan of the gold either but I do seem to like it more with the Seafoam Green.

I think the "guitar" police would be triggered by the number of string before they even noticed the logo.

I bought the 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass a few months ago and it's now my go to bass. Couldn't help myself so I pulled the trigger on this one because I have self control issues. But, if it's anywhere close to as nice as the jazz version then I'll get my use out of it for sure.
