Squier P-Bass

Fender Precision Bass (1972)Published on 08/11/04 at 15:00
I bought this as my first bass at wood brothers music store. It cost me around 175$ brand new. It is a very good bass sound wise and is very sturdy

Good size, good sound.

A big neck

Very strong except the finish. Pickups send good sound

Great bass over all, good for beginers

Squier P-Bass

Fender Precision Bass (1972)Published on 05/10/04 at 15:00
I bought this bass from a local music shop as part of a trade in on some old gear that i no longer used, for which the allowed me £120, so it was a straight swap.

I'm used to playing more expensive instruments but I was very impressed with the overall playability of this bass. It feels more expensive than it actually is.

Compared to other basses I have played, it is a little on the heavy side, and i found the action a little bit high, but that's really down to personal preference and its easy enough to correct.

Considering the ultra-low price tag i was expecting flaws in the finish and constuction of the bass but i really cannot find anything wrong with it. It is very robust and...…

Considering the ultra-low price tag i was expecting flaws in the finish and constuction of the bass but i really cannot find anything wrong with it. It is very robust and well made, i have dropped it on a couple of occasions and not even so much as scratched it.

A very good instrument for a very low price, good for beginners and people who have been playing for longer.

Squier P-Bass

Fender Precision Bass (1972)Published on 03/07/04 at 15:00
I aquired the P-Bass because I am ver interestd in learning to play bass, had a limited Budget, but still wanted a quality piece from a quality manufacturer like Fender.

I bought the bass at Alto Music www.altomusic.com) and payed $159 for it, which was cheaper any other place I found.

It seems like a solid bass. It's easy to hold and sounds pretty good, and even though I am a beginner, it makes me sound good :)

There really isn't anything I dislike about it. The only things I would change is perhaps a darker finish on the neck and numbers on the controls.

Construction of the bass is very solid. It's sturdy and the finish (Metallic blue) is beautiful.

I think the P-Bass is a great bass for beginners and seems like it will still suit me years down the road. I would recommend it and the Fender quality that comes with it, to anyone.

Squier P-Bass

Fender Precision Bass (1972)Published on 12/31/03 at 15:00
I bought this bass for 250$ at Musician's Friend. I bought it cause I wanted to learn how to play and didn't want to spend a ton of money on a bass.

ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING

EVERYTHING
The pickups suck, it sounds like it dosen't even have tone. the neck was hard to play on and felt like it was going to break off.
The frets buzz like 6 million wasps unless you raise them up pretty high. The neck wasn't quite flat either.

The electronics were ok but the neck needs work.

Don't buy anything from Squier, even if you are gonna learn. The basses that are classified "great for beginners" are only cheap and usually crappy.

Only buy this bass to determine whether you are plan on playing for a long time.

If you plan on playing from beginner to expert at all means necessary, BUY A GOOD BASS!!!
