Compare the serial number with your first one. The second and third letters will be different. They come from more than one factory in China. I have two myself and the second one was packed better and weighed just a hair more than the first. Plus the pick guard was standard and the pickups were in the standard location. As opposed to the other one being a quarter inch closer to the neck.
@ interesting. CMC or CRN? My first one started with CRN. CMC was my second one. Both good basses for their price point. I added flat wounds to the second one, but the first one I routed out and added a Sidewinder humbucker pickup by the neck. I added shielding to both, that makes a difference.
ah yes! nothing beats opening a new toy! even if you have to pay a little for it! nice mate at any rate!
Lots of things beat a new toy, like two new toys for a start!

Yeah, the fret job on these are pretty poor. I've played a bunch of Squiers, but with these Debut series, I'm not sure I'd take one to a gig tbh.
Taken my first one to gigs, not problems at all, just set the EQ a bit different and that was all
@@tallthinkev no problems with noise & low output from the pickups?
@@AllAboutBasses Nope
