  • Apparently, no one liked the second version. SX has brought out a third version now. My understanding is that Fender went after him.

  • How much do you want out of this company? They make a bass that outperforms $400 squires and MIM fenders. Now the headstock isn't perfect? It's $200!

  • Max I have this same P- bass from SX and I'm ready to sell it.
    I dont like the way it sounds it's only a year old.
    Anyone want it it's yours for $200 with a hard shell case.

  • Looks like the new headstock is punished by not stringing it fully 😀
    And on the subject, the new headstock refrains me from buying another SX bass. I already have two and am thinking of getting the Andromeda which not only has a cooler headstock but also looks like a very well made bass. With a couple of tweaks you can make a very close copy of a Sadowsky out of it.

  • the people who don't like it could always just reshape with with a few basic tools… since these basses are cheap they are known for being modded so I'm surprised I haven't seen a modded headstock yet

  • I prefer the vintage. I have an SX fretless with vintage headstock. Great bass except neck is wider than I would prefer.

  • I'm now more concerned about the rondo SX bass bodies becoming predominantly made of basswood than alder.

  • The headstock design of the Ursa 1, the new design that is, is growing on me. It does look a little clunky having a pointy ish headstock design on a rounded classic bass body, but the more I see them, the more I like them…

  • Being a newbie to bass, it really doesn't matter to me. But I do have a question. I'm looking at buying one and just wondered if you think they are stifll a good way to go for a beginner? I'm an old retired guy but have always been intrigued with the bass guitar. Don't know why I haven't bought one, but with more time on my hands thought I would tip toe into it. These are so cheap, I figure if I lose interest no big deal.

    So…….do you still recommend these for someone lie me? Thanks.

  • looks more like an ESP/LTD headstock
    I personally think the Fender-like headstock is big part of the jazz-bass mojo

  • I just purchased a 2004 SX SJM62 just because of the old style head. The old style head is by far better looking. Too bad.

  • I like the old head stock style. I have one with the URSA. Dont you think the Furrian necks are a little too fat?

  • Jeez man, I shouldn't make that decision for you. But you should know, or noticed, that Squier's quality is getting better and better! The decision is yours, difficult i know!

  • I like the older head stock personally . I have an SX 5 string fretless the headstock on it looks almost like an ovation acoustic guitar. I'd much rather have that older look to it . I dig your sight homz much respect .

  • The SX's are inexpensive and well made enough. Enough where you could make improvements without spending a whole lot! Check out RONDO MUSIC online.
