I’ve been playing bass for almost 40 years now I’ve owned a variety of Squire’s and Fenders,American,Japanese,Korean,Indonesian,mainly Jazz basses,never got on with Fender P basses for some reason but always loved their sound,I read some reviews on this Sire bass and loved the look so took a chance.Wow this thing is I would say the nicest most musical sounding bass I’ve owned.amazing specifications and incredible value,the neck is stunning,pick ups sound great,hardware seems more than adequate,it’s personal I know but I think it looks stunning!! If you can just buy one future classic.
