What are your thoughts on the Fender Squire series?
I play the J series, mainly because it is my first bass and I love how the sound is for how cheap it was. Perfect first bass!
Though I have not played one, the Vintage Modified Jazz bass is well liked, based on various bass forums. I would definitely give one try were I looking for new bass. Johnny's comment is spot on - probably hard to get a better bass for the price.
i have a Squire Strat and its the best value, and has a better action and fretboard than my friends fender strats lol, cost $130.
I have a Mexican Fender Jazz and want a Squire P Bass for my spare and for drop D tuning.

I have a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz, and it's great for it's price, the only problem I find with it is that it has more fret buzz than most other basses, but it's by far the best Squier bass you can get, especially for the price.

Have you adjusted saddle heights and the truss rod? I've had success in getting rid of fret buzz with this, sometimes just by raising the saddles a bit, most effectively by putting a bit more relief in the neck.
