Great bargain !!!
I did order this instrument for two reasons : I needed a factory PBass neck with Jazzbass dimensions and a nice California blue body.
Great attention to the package and protection by the chinese manufacturer.
Setup was nice out of the box.
Tuning machines are decent, although the frets are not crown, I couldn’t perceive any sharp edges.
Just some rock wool to make them shiny.
Only complain is Fender does promote a lightweight and thinner body but the weight is around 3,6Kg and the body thickness equals 4cm… so, nothing new here and pretty disappointing regarding what Fender claims.
Anyway, it’s a great instrument for the price !

A lot of bass for the money
Looks good overall. Action is high, but easy to adjust. Cheap looking pick guard, probably going to change it. Tuners are fine.
Neck is relatively straight, and that's good because the truss rod nut was delivered destroyed (or the wrench provided is too small, I was able to adjust it a little with the wrench from my Tele). I saw another review mention something similar, so I guess it's a problem.
The pickups sounds ok, but I swapped them with some Seymour Duncan pickups. They were a little too big actually, compared with the ones coming with the Squire, but were forced to fit :)
