I think with this bass, and all the rest of the Vintage modified series, Squier shot themselves in the foot because now everyone compares them to the classic vibes as far as quality. I played one and I liked it. I didn't plug it in cause Guitar center was too busy and I didn't feel like being in there for any longer than I already had been, but it felt and played really nice. The tort on it was absolutely awful in person, I would definitely have to find an alternate pickguard for it, but other than that I liked it. I hope to go back next week and plug it in.

It is so close in price it is hard not to compare them in quality too!

Yea I agree, but you gotta realize that since it's squier, a budget brand, the price range is pretty small. It's not much of a price jump from an affinity series to a standard or vintage modified, but people don't really compare those much. The vintage modifieds are for the people that suffer the idiotic logic of "I'm not paying more than $300 for a squier!"
