Hate MCR. Love that bass.

Dunno if I'd choose it over a regular Mustang Bass though.

Love this but I'm not sure if I'd get one in case people think I actually like MCR...

I have no problem playing a jmascis jazzmaster, nor playing a jagstang.

But i like to play my squier vm mustang bass - i would not change to a milkyway bass

I'd hit it. How much?

love it. I'd cancel one of my projects to get this.

Any word on MSRP?

I thought it was going to have a regular mustang pickup, what is this thing? Also, I still hate the black headstock on that guitar, it looks wrong, and scumbag sparkle is still gross IMO.

the pickup will make or break this but I like its look

Looks like an EMG 35 soapbar style to me. Which is cool. If it sucks it shouldn't be hard to slap a regular pickguard on it.

I like this bass guitar, a lot.

Anything has to be better than the stock MB pickup.

Those things are unreasonably mediocre, even on the Fenders.

I've been thinking of getting a SS bas for a while, this might be the one - depending on price.

Is 19 frets vs 20 (on the jag SS bass) that much of a difference?

Also as far as the pickup I'd put in an EMG soapbar sized P pickup if it didn't have the right sound.

I thought it was ok till I noticed the pickup.. Pretty fooking cool..

"She's Lost Control" only goes to the 19th fret, so I don't really need the 20th fret. Others will chime in.

Lovely looking bass and nice to see a Squier product with a competition stripe
