MGR/Luka Grzan « Squier Precision Bass »
Published on 12/14/02 at 15:00I bought it in Zagreb, Croatia for about 250 dollars. I bought it because I needed it for my band.
Although this is pretty cheap bass guitar, it sounds good. I think that main reason is the Standard Fender Bass pick-ups (which are present in my bass). It's heavy and durable, and it's comfort (not as Fender Precision Bass, but...).
The most annoying thing to me was the some noise (you could barely hear it) coming from amp. I thought that something was wrong with amp (Yamaha F-20B), and I went to my uncle and checked with his amp (Ampeg SVT-200 head through Marshall-250R cab), but it was the same noise...And then I realized that I have to open my bass. And I did. I did some repairings (wires were wrong connected) - and that's it! Now it's kick-ass-bass! And the neck needs to be more fixed (it's too large at the bottom)
Construction? The construction is average, maybe little better. Quality? Hmmm....That's good question. I think that this bass is good, but you shouldn't expect too much. I don't consider myself as a "quality expert", but it should be more quality
This bass is good for practice, beginners, and for gigs. But if you want to have recording bass, it'll better if you get real Fender bass...That's my opinion, but when I fixed this bass, it has great sound for recording, practice and gigs. I use it through Ampeg 100 Watt V-4BH tube amp and Ampeg SVT-410HLF cab...It's great. Sounds great. I always wanted my bass to sound like NIRVANA's (reason which I use Ampeg) - and I did it!
