MGR/Gibson Freak « Squier Precision Bass »
Published on 08/10/04 at 15:00I saw the Blink 182 video for All the small things and heard many older beatles songs and well being a great fan of any music, especially blink, I decided to get a P Bass at guitar center. I spent about $180 for the bass alone. I thought this guitar was cool for some sort of reason but later thought otherwise.
I like this unit because like the p bass fender, it provides more beef and punchy simple bass sound. The cheapness.
Good Lord where do I begin...
1 - If you don't properly take care of the input to the bass, the pick guard will definitely break...and even the electronics on it. this bass will not be able to work of course...or unless you find some sorta person who can soodder it / fix it for you (highly unrecomended)
2 - Like many squiers, the Damn knobs fall off like mad! for like (exageratiopn) a day it will fall off. Once that happens it's even more a piece of Sheet.
3 - I have no idea what you call them but the thingie that holds the strings at the headstock I call the "Bass Heads" (Sorry if I'm stupid but yeah). They are small. It's just really annoying because I have ringing all over the fret board for the A string. If you ever have problems knowing the difference between Squier and Fender basses, look at the heads. NOtice Fender has bigger heads and that is truly a major difference because the Squier heads are smaller and provoke ringing in the bass.
Squier could've done a better job but of course they are in the business for a bunch of newbs / new bassist etc. Hence Cheap everything. The pick guard as mention is crappy if you don't put your cable through your strap (can't explain without showing). The Cable input jack head thingie sticks out like a middle finger because eyou put it in the bass perpendicular to the bass. IF you happen or someone else happens to step on the choard and the bass moves fast or suddenly away from the chord...it will shred the pick guard and you'd have to shell out another $25 (i think) for another pick guard.
If you decide to get this bass, then by all means do it but strongly read this review over again. Yes I have to admit that it is a good bas but for a maximum of two years. I don't even play bass I just found it intersting and easy to play. My bass player already owns a Fender Jazz Bass and it is way better than stupid Squier. So if you decide to get this bass, have money planned to get a new one within 5 months min. If you want a bass...hold off for a Squier Jazz bass because I hear dit's really good or simply a Fender p bass itself. If you want this bass for a mere short time and looking for a punk guitar, GET THE MARK HOPPUS.
So once again, P Bass Squier is no good
