After putting some Ernie Ball regular slinkies on it, having the truss rod adjusted(bad bow in it) the factory p-ups, saddle height, intonation adjusted, and the out-put jack replaced, it has turned out to be a nice guitar. Going to have the nut checked and adjusted/replaced as needed later. But, all in all... not bad. Only thing I don't like about it, as with all Fenders, is the action is too high, and you have to press too hard to fret the strings. Fender/Squier needs to get a clue from Charvel/Jackson on the action. My brothers Jackson,and, Danelectro is butter to fret.

A Squire can be set up just fine and they sound completely acceptable with decent strings. Also, as you allude, they are totally useful for open-mic night! I felt a bit uncomfortable showing up with a used Squire, so I crudely changed the logo on the headstock to say "Martial". Now its not only a fine OMN bass, its an ice breaker! You are right on.
