Vintage Modified Fretless Precision Bass - 3-Color Sunburst
 This product is no longer available.
Squier proudly presents its first-ever fretless Precision Bass model, the sleek Vintage Modified Precision Bass Fretless. It delivers the knockout punch of a Fender-designed split single-coil Precision Bass pickup, combined with the deliciously slippery tone and feel of a 9.5-radius fretless ebonol fingerboard (with white inlaid fret lines so you can easily find your way around).

Other features include a maple neck with modern C profile, tortoiseshell pickguard, two dome-style control knobs (master volume, master tone), vintage-style bridge with four single-groove saddles, and vintage-style tuners. Available in Three-color Sunburst.

I’ve had this for a year now. It sounds great and stays in tune very well. The fit and finish is top notch. Over time I have swapped out the bridge, the pots and put in Seymour Duncan pick ups that I’ve had lying around. Fun bass to play and fun to swap parts in and out.

Baby Dove bought me one for a Birthday present. I've got Chromes flat wounds on EAD and a 50 year old upright bass string on the G. I've got a home made felt damper pad attached to the bridge. I've sanded and refinished the board. I've got a number of Fenders and this can stand up to any. The finish really should get special mention. Great bass at pawn prices. Thanks L&M. I can't say it's my #1 but it's worth every penny.

I'm happy with this bass for what it is. It's obviously not a >$1000 American-made instrument, but I've done 8-10 gigs with it and it's suited me fine. Sounds good, stays in tune. I might swap the bridge out. Mine doesn't have the raised-fretlines issue that the other reviewer complained about. I like the ebanol board just fine, and I think it contributes to the nice light weight of the instrument.

Unfortunately theory and execution never met in the middle with this member of the Vintage Mod line which has a great reputation for very good budget basses. The one I have had a great pickup for a Squier in house pbass pup, it did sound great. Unfortunately extremely low end hardware and the neck let this potentially cool instrument down. The stock bridge is just bad, unusable even. Stock tuners are the standard Squier norm, which is to say adequate. However the neck is a deal breaker for this one. The ebanol boards are great, the problem with these Squier lined ones is that the marker lines are all raised considerably above level with the rest of the board, so in effect they act like very low frets and ruin the fretless effect of this pbass. The ebanol is extremely hard so if you think you can just sand it like many people say, think again. In the end I had to replace the neck with an aftermarket, Fender licensed, unlined fretless ebanol and maple neck to make it a proper performing fretless. I also had to replace the horrid Fender bent plate bridge with something a bit more pricey since the Squier stock piece has saddles that move all over the place and action height screws that move on their own when the wind blows. Threw in an EMG to top it off and it's now not a bad little bass.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
