The Squier Vintage Modified SS is one of the best little short scale basses on the market. The neck is smooth and plays fast. The tones are amazing. The build quality is excellent. Sure you could pay more for a short scale bass but why??

Take it from me, this is one of the best deals on an inexpensive bass. Some people complain about the tone of the stock pick ups, but they're actually not bad at all. You have to adjust the tone ON THE AMP to get a good sound. Which brings me to the second point - A GOOD BASS AMP. Don't expect this bass to sound killer on a cheap bass amp. Get a good quality bass amp (Fender Rumble cough cough) and you can get some pro tones from this bass for a fraction of the cost. I have 45 years music experience and there's absolutely nothing wrong with this bass. You can upgrade the pickups and tuners etc etc, but its fine just as it is. Its good for blues, rock, country, and R&B with the stock pickups in my opinion. I love it.

Needed a little touch up, but I was going to change the hardware anyway. Made a perfect twin for alternate tunings to my #1 SS Jag. And the price was right, as these basses have been discontinued and the price is going up.
