They were bad-ass wherever they were made. I played a sonic blue one when they first came out, I was in high school and had a guitar mag with a review of the bass and guitar. I never made the connection that they were Vista Squiers back then and had a low opinion of all other Squiers but I remember these as being the shit anyway. They were the first bass I played I felt comfortable with too, probably because they were shortscale.

my goal has always been to get a MM bass and switch the rosewood neck for a maple one (apologies in advance for those who haet maple) and put in an SD quarter pounder bass pickup (for 51 p bass). Now I've got a Bronco bass neck just waiting to be used, and the pickup could be just an order away.
I'm calling tomorrow first thing.

Just missed a white one on ebay that went for 233 €. To keep the relations, that would mean about 210 $ that you would have paid in USA. At current course it would of course be some 334 $$. € is strong, but that doesn't affcet used prices, of course.
But I just recently decided I could use a bass additional to my guitars, and I just didn't go for the first possibility that passed my way ...
The second one is also quite attempting, it's a mid / end 70ties "Arirang" (small korean factory) with one pickup not working and one tuner out of order for a sloppy 100 € shipped ... looks like a Burns shortscale copy with Mini Humbuckers, might be fun to pimp.

they're satin. basically the same as guitar including all the easter colors that fade funny.

If you click on the link that Cats posted at the top of the thread, the website says they've got a Fender MM bass in. decent price too.
