The G string tuner has a halo?

Looks really nice!

Squiers are often surprisingly good for the money.

I have that exact bass!  Looks and plays nice, but the tuning keys on mine buzz...  Only complaint.

Well his tuners shine.  :laughing7:

Cool  :headbang:

I have a Squire Bass as well. Plays great too.
Had to build a Warmoth SG to match it.    :icon_biggrin:

Enjoy your new Bass  :icon_thumright:

So far it plays quite well.  I changed the strings to some EB Slinkys .45-1.05s and it already feels better. next step it to adjust intonation as I know it's off from the gauge change.
Only thing not jiving with me is that the side dots are half on the fretboard & half on the maple, making them hard to see.  I have to push a bit harder with the vintage frets too, which usually makes more buzzing than I'm used to acoustically.
Oddly enough (to me), the Jazz bass is lighter than both of my guitars.

'Looks good. 
I've heard that Squiers have come a long way in quality.

I've heard the same thing.  A friend of mine recently picked up a Squier Jazz 5 string for just under $400 CAD, and is really happy with it.
