Now I get why this line of Squiers was so expensive

I was pretty amazed how good this bass was. Looks are amazing, playability is great, very lightweight... What more could you ask for from a P-Bass...

I would underline it's not a mod platform, it's out of the box playable Instrument that really shine in a band setting.

It came to me with a solid setup, but a pickup was a bit high, lowering it slightly adjusted the output to the sweet spot. Couldn't be more satisfied, Fender nailed it with this one. Discounted price is a bargain.

Affinity quality with questionable upgrades

The bass looks very nice, that why I bought it.

But... detail to build are not very good (plate scretched around the bolts by the screwing machine , neck is set uneven etc.) and the quality of upgraded materials is questinable ( the wood is too soft so the screwing machines overscrewed the bolts, saddle material is too soft and it's bent so it doesn't make full contact with the body, tuners are average). If you want a Squire... get an Affinity and then choose the upgrades yourself. Or there are lot of other options for an entry p-bass at this money...
