Im looking to buy a nineties mim Squier P Bass. The serial number is MN89**** so I assume a 98. Thing is I didn't realized they were still making squier anything in mexico in the late nineties. I have a 93 MIM squier strat but I thought squier had moved overseas by 96. Anyone with more knowledge would be really helpful.

They were making everything... everywhere around that time. They even had American Made guitars assembled in Mexico... (California Series) or was it Mexican guitars assembled in the US... The point being, Fender was and is always changing things up as far as where they manufacture guitars. Some of the best "non-U.S." guitars from that same year were the Squier Pro-Tone series guitars. They were mostly made in Korea (the ash strats and teles with gold hardware and transparent red and blue stain finishes) if I'm not mistaken... I think the SuperSonic (the only "non-sparkle" finish was black, other than that a pretty cool guitar. Sort of a reverse-headstock, short scale, double humbucking string through... you get the idea) and Venus (Cortney Love signature) guitars may have been made in Japan and belonged to the Vista Series.

Anyway, I'm going to assume that the bass you have is a Squier by Fender, Standard Series and there probably isn't much of a difference between that and the Fender Standard Series from the same era. Maybe the hardware is a little different and the electronics aren't quite as good but, for the price, still a cool bass. I think that may have been before the Affinity Series.... worst ever.
