SOLD 04/19! This is the first one of these I have had and I thought the 'star' on the bass was an add-on sticker. Well, now I know that it's part of the finish. This is a nice vintage-style Fender without the clunky heaviness of an original or even a 90's Japan model. The single-coil pickup sounds substantial and the bass weighs only 8 1/4 lbs. It's very similar to other vintage-series Squier basses which is a good thing. Includes very nice gig bag.
