But then, there is the beauty of the distance selling regulations in the UK which lets you order a bass, try it at home (or out, if you're REALLY careful and a bit brave) and return it if you want. That's more difficult for those without a good range of music stores within easy driving distance. The one that feels and sounds in a way that resonates nicely with what you want a bass to sound like. The general rule that everyone will repeat ad nauseum is to play a LOAD of all sorts, and then pick out the ONE bass that does it for you. There are MIA Fender "dogs" around and also Squier gems. Generally fret work and basic neck stability, straightness and playability should be better with a more expensive Fender also, although not always. The more you pay, the "better" they get, although with pickups this is slightly more subjective.Īlso, you tend to get graphite re-inforcing rods in the MIA Fender necks, although with this particular '75 re-issue I'm not actually sure on that. The key things that you'll get with a more expensive Fender every time though is better hardware. Pretty much all of them will require a good setup from new though. I'd strongly suspect that the % of good to bad decreases significantly as you go up the price range. It seems that with Squiers and Fenders (MIM, MIK & MIA) there are good and bad ones in all series.
