I would also be very interested in a MIM fretless P-Bass!!! I resorted to a used Dean Fretless, which is an active bass. It's not bad, but it's not a Fender. And it's not a P-Bass. More of a jazz bass.

Come on Fender!!!

I used to think Squier basses were cannon fodder. BUT I don't think that now. I speak from a viewpoint of being an older dude who owns USA Fenders- Japan Fenders- Mexi Fenders etc and has played too long. I have a couple really nice sounding Squiers. The necks are very good-one is a flame maple on a P body with aftermarket pickups (Fender) and the other is a Jaguar I just purchased used. Both can be used at gigs. So I have had more than a couple USA Fender basses that did not sound as good as the two Squiers I have now. I would have slapped myself about the head and neck had I said that years ago. ....... never say never.


Amen to that! I have a Squier VM Modified Jazz and my newest acquisition, the Squier VM Modified Telecaster Bass Special, which has become my goto.

Both are remarkable instruments. Of course they have their issues, but they are lower priced. Fit and finish were good, set-up on the Tele was 95% perfect, imagine that.

Time to give a little credit to Squier for their improving their quality.
