It is spelled Squier.

Not MIA, it is probably MIK.

Why don't you Google "Squier Precision 2 Bass". I found all the info that I could need for it by doing that.

I had a Squier II Precision, and it was made in Korea. It had a stripped truss rod nut, but I found that I loved the P sound, and led me to currently owning four (the Squier II is long gone, however).

Way to be totally unhelpful. If you were going to completely ignore his question, why bother posting at all?

Yeah, why learn the instrument...holy crap, I learned with a crappy pbass copy. I don't know what the original question was, but his other post/thread is just bashing his bass...so have fun with the new bass. I agree with you on this too cw. Learn it, then buy a better one later.

ok, so if i was asking a question and i got your response, i'd leave this forum too....
i have 2 squier bass guitars, i love them both, i'm always trying to upgrade to a better guitar, when i first got my first bass before i even learned any licks on it the first question i had was whats the best way to upgrade this, so i've been learning to play and i've upgraded and got another bass...

i don't know what the original post was but your jerk-ish response was kind of ridiculous, and obviously not worth it to the OP

I've been lurking here for over a year, and there was a lot of good information and it was even entertaining on occasion...

Whatever happened to this place?

It just ain't the same around here. I know that I don't come around as often. No reason to check in daily anymore because I know exactly what topics I'm going to see when I log in and I know who is going to reply to them giving well intended advice. It is all now so....for lack of a better word....predictable.

It just isn't as much fun anymore. Anyone else miss the fun?

What happened is that basically a handful of humorless pitchfork and torch wielding villagers had a meeting at the biergarten and insisted that the Bürgermeister run the evil circus Gypsies out of town. Several longtime pro players (yes lifelong professional touring/gigging/recording players) got so upset at this turn of events that they deleted their accounts and when they did all their informational posts, thousands upon thousands of them, went "POOF." Others just aren't posting anymore while still others just don't come here any longer, but fortunately some were considerate enough to at least leave their posts up for future visitor edification. I refer to this chain of events that changed the bass forum into a ghost town as "Operation Tumbleweed."

By the time all this transpired a new private forum had been founded by one of the members who deleted themselves here and the Band of Gypsies hang there now.

I guess you could say we were all egged and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. I fell off that rail, rolled into the storm sewer, wiped off the makeup, ditched the wig and sombrero...and now I am blending in best I can as just another typical forum nerd.

Then, there is the Super Kid saga.....but that is another depressing episode.

Well the bass forum here is what it is. The curious thing is that the people that carried their pitchforks and torches highest don't even post in the bass forum much and mainly play guitar. One of them I know for sure owns mostly Gibson brand guitars as far as I can tell. Very strange.

Hi brotherdave,

I understood most of that, so your saying the clown people all left here? No wonder it's not the same as the last time I was here a few moths ago.

Ive gone back and read a bunch of posts, but i think a lot of stuff must have been deleted because until now, I had no idea what was going on. I still don't really, but I get the gist of it I think.

I knew something was missing. I used to read here a lot for the last year and a half and it was usually a good read. I still show up to see what you and a couple of others post but i miss the old regular poeple who were here. It was usually a fun read, so I guess your right about it being less fun now. If I had any serious questions, Id go to your website because they say you answer direct e-mails personally and in all my time here as a lurker, youve been the final word from what Ive seen.

You said the clown poeple went somewhere else, is it a secret?
Is it a private thing or do the allow other bass players there?
I didn't register until a week ago but one of the reasons i did was because I wanted to hang with the gang. They seemed pretty fun and i could tell a lot of them had some pretty serious experience.

I know at least 1 or 2 of them are still here but I don't see much of them and I know your not here like you used to be either. Are you at their other place? If its not totally private and they allow newbies, could you tell me where it is or pm me about it?

thanks brotherdave!

There really is not too much you can say after a post like that from brotherdave. I have not been around long enough on the Fender Forum to know who is that good to get good advice from other than maybe brotherdave and three or four others from the way it looks.

Yeah I played one of those, the exact same model except it was red mahogany and it had "THE GIBSON" on the headstock instead of LP JR. It had belonged to a blind blues player who died and his wife sold it to the store where I was working then. He had carved notches into the top side of the neck where your thumb rests to mark each dotted fret. I paid $75 for it. I kept it for about 4 years and then gave it to a blind guy I met at college who had a round neck National resonator he played all the time. I figured that with the neck on that Gibson already marked for a visually impaired player it had his name on it. I was only playing bass and it was sort of in the way and I'm sure he got better use out of it that I ever would.
