Hey guys, forgive me first off my normal area is guitars...not basses...but i figured this would be the place to ask

I was browsing a small shop out here on long island, lo and behold, among all the knockoffs and such, i found a Jazz bass for $299...but it struck me strange...

I'll include pictures.. but i noticed it was

a) used pre owned
b) semi-old looking
c) unusual to me, it said Fender, and on the circular area of the headstock it said "Squier series"...

I know the recent Squier basses say Squier and in subtext 'by fender'

Just wondering is this an older instrument, if so, how old, and can you tell me would it be worth coughing up around 300 for?

Thanks for the input guys (p.s. it was in great playing shape.)

I was questioning that myself. I'm not sure if Squier's were ever made in Mexico.

Eh, well i think that the neck is a squire and the body is a fender or something. I say go to the local guitar center or music store and look at other basses. thats what I did i got a geddy lee signature bass for 600$ new you just have to look around for good deals. ild wait until one of there big sales. Hope you get a good bass =D
