Great bass or a low price--great value

I got this bass for my spouse who LOVES TOOL's bass player, Justin Chancellor. Justin's favorite bass is a Fender '63 P-bass. Well, that is out of budget but this one was perfect as a starting point. I swapped in a mint pickguard and Fender '63 vintage pickups to get as close as possible to Justin Chancellor's #1 bass. My spouse knew instantly that it was meant to copy JC's favorite bass.

Now, I'll be honest. At this price point, Squier doesn't finish the neck's to perfection. But in 30-40 minutes anyone can do that finish work. I sanded the unfinished neck with 5 levels of sandpaper starting with 1000grit up to 10,000 grit. Now, it feels like a gloss finish. Also, I spent a little time to dress the fret ends which took about 10 minutes. The result is a gorgeous bass that feels and sounds incredible.

Did this bass need any mods? No. The neck would play just fine for most beginners. Was it worth the money and the elbow grease? For us, yes. It's now my spouse's favorite bass (out of 5). For such an affordable price, this bass is a bargain--with or without any mods. I took off 1/2 a star only because of the neck. (I also matched the color and mint pickguard on my Squier Tele.)

Very Impressive

This is my first passive 'P' bass. Love the middle pickup. The jazz/bridge Pup isn't terrible, just relatively more quiet. I own many other basses, including some boutique basses costing much much more. As a 'P' type bass , it's really excellent. Very round and smooth sounding with a lot of usable range.

You'll be amazed

Buy it right now from Sweetwater. The bass will bae "RIGHT" because it's Sweetwater! This will make a great bass for someone starting out, and even a pro that wants a back up.

Excellent Bass

I've been playing the bass since 1974, and I've owned some very expensive original brands in my years. There was a time in the eighties when I could afford the most expensive basses in the world and owned four that was custom-made for me. Having said that, over these many decades, I've come to realize a lot of what we think we know about the instrument is shrouded in personal pride and brand recognition. We pay thousands of dollars for something, more because of where it was manufactured and less because of how it looks, feels, or sounds when it's in our hands. I own about a dozen Squire Precision, Jazz, and Jaguar basses made in Indonesia, ranging in price from $299-$499. Each of them is just as good as their Japanese, Chinese, or South Korean cousins and equal to the level of quality made in North America. The only difference I can see is the brand. This bass is a quality work of art. You should be proud to own one of these Squire Affinity basses or guitars, no matter what your level of experience requires. These are darn good guitars.

Love this Bass!!

Wanted a PJ for a long time, found this blue eyed baby and I'm so glad I got it from Sweetwater! First off, thank you to Jeff Roeling my sales engineer for outstanding service and for the guitar tech that completed the this pre ship inspection. It's feel is amazing up and down the neck. I might add for a great price. Thanks Sweetwater!!
