Well I had some extra time and figgured I would add my $.02 worth. I always laugh at reviews of Squier basses around the internet and even peoples occasional opinion on this forum. For some reason people think that these under $200 basses should be compared with Foderas and Sadowskis. Well I will tell you right here this bass WILL NOT compare to $1000+ basses, however, this is a solid ENTRY LEVEL instrument. The great thing is you can learn to play the instrument on it, begin playing with other musicians (even begin gigs), and as you get better you can easily upgrade these things. Make no mistake this is a Fender, so you can pretty much bolt-on bridges, pick-ups, and pick-gaurds that fit a Fender. The only thing left "Squire" on mine is the body and neck and I still play mine. Squires are a bit inconsistent I have played some that sound as good as any MIM Fender but some are not made so well. I would recommend playing 4-5 and picking the one that sounds/feels the best. Just remember that you are buying an entry level bass to learn on. There will be plenty of time to drop $1000+ on basses, heads, cabs, processors, etc. in the future. Enjoy the time when a low cost instrument brings so much joy.
