Looks beyond great! The black on black is beautiful but I wonder how the sunburst looks.
If I ever get another bass (a long way off unfortunately) this is a very strong contender.
They seem to have stayed pretty faithful to the original design unlike the Jaguar, Jazzmaster and Jaguar bass. I guess Mustang basses aren't exactly complicated, there's not much to be changed.

This makes me feel a little different about the classic vibe jazz bass I'm watching on Ebay.. ohh what to do now.

Rehashed bronco bass with a mustang pickup and bridge plate. I'll be the first to say no thanks, Squier.

afaik Seymour Duncan was about the only factory to still make these pickups? so I'd guess they're in here, too? I really like it, though I wonder why they call it a 60s style thing when the colours are clearly 70s ... but so what. If this would have been there a year ago I'd own one.

Considering the Bronco is modeled after the Mustang, I don't see what your issue could be...
what a shit move, making a Mustang after making a bastardization of a Mustang... bad form! Seems silly to me.
That said, I dig it. I've been considering a Bronco, with the intent of modding it back into a Mustang... this gets rid of the work!

the vintage modified stuff feels kind of cheapo to me, if only it was a CV in a pastel shade i'd be spurting right about now.

I think I'd get a black bass and swap the neck with an SS jaguar neck. I don't really like the albino maple.

it seems in all likelihood it will be a squier jazzmaster available in both white and purple. that's all we know for now. some rumors are that it could be pink, or sunburst, and/or have a gold guard. I say rumors because I really don't know where people got that info.

DO WANT!
Seriously, Squier has got their shit together! This looks awesome, when will it be hitting stores? I will definitely get one of these eventually!

I rather like this actually. Been thinking of getting a bass for a while now and this fits the bill exactly. Can't wait to try one of these out.
