All user reviews for the Squier Precision Bass (Made in Japan)

JV Series Japanese therefore, dated 05/14/83, it celebrates its 30th anniversary soon.
It is a 57 reissue sunburst color.
Especially not rely on the Squier name connoted entry level Fender.
It is far above many U.S. I tried.
One that is close as is the Fender '57 Precision Bass Reissue (1988) that has a friend (almond green color beautiful ...)
I am a drummer, and I bought the bass player in my group so I love this instrument.
He had bought together in Pigalle, a store that only fits guitars used and occasionally bass when they are exceptional
As soon as he bought it, I told him that if one day he sold it, I'm here.

UTILIZATION

Channel JB, a little wide for small hands.
I had to change because unfortunately vrillait.
I bought the same to remain faithful to the spirit, but it is stamped Fender now
mine picnic slightly nose heavy relatively low.
I would say that the weak point is the bridge he made his taf but aesthetically it is very basic.
Let's go, I replaced Wilkinson against a chrome brass complies with the vintage look.

SOUNDS

Excellent sound, bold desire to perfect for me.
I mounted with flat fillets because I prefer the thrill of the game and the extra fat made to the sound.
It is pleasantly close to a bass sound at times, but with Frêtes
It happened to me several times to listen to mixes that I make friends pro musicians or sound engineer.
Often I am asked what I used to treat the sound of the bass ... what a pleasure to meet "ben nothing ..."
Plugged directly into my Profire 2626 and go.

-Factory in Japan MODEL I in 1984 and is color Sunburst with white pick-guard.
-20 Freight, alder body, saddle and handle key Rosewood
Pont (bridge), a volume knob and 1 Tone Pick-up (micro) from Fender.

UTILIZATION

-The handle of my bass is ergonomic, the key is ok, the CSTA prs in blocks of the body are a little hard (like all P-Bass)
-The weight of the instrument is important (heavy long), but is very well balanced.
-Of course, the sound is like "Steve Harris. (Iron Maiden)

SOUNDS

-For my part, it should rev out my music styles (Mtal 1980 and 1990, Pop Rock, Country, Qubcois ..)
-My instrument has a lot of prsence .. (Do not forget that a low sagit passive)
-She has a clear and in Dfine gnral, may be less than in the high prsence. (The 2 smaller ... the chords troisime is a little harder to ring, but I correct everything with my amp (which has a Paramtrique Eq). With new strings, it's "Top Shape "= a ring all the boxes and all the strings.
"I confess be lucky to have a Squier that sounds better than any other Squier I've tried (and especially The models of dernires years" Yerk! ") It sounds m me better than many I've tried US precision.

OVERALL OPINION

-My parents have a gift Nol 1984 (brand new) Has the era pay CDN $ 650.00 (470.00 Euros) after 2 returns Cort (short scale) that made me damn (I broke the strings every week and cost a fortune.) .. with this bass, I change a string that once a year (loss of).
"It is a low as does virtually dsaccorde ...
-I will always keep this bass, in addition to being a gift and have a sound suprieure the average of other P-Bass (MODEL all together) ... I am lucky to have stumbled upon a good instrument because I know the quality of the copies of this model varies normment ... Most of the time, I tried worse.
-Maleureusement The models like mine are no longer in production today.

Manufacturing Japanese Fuji-gen plant on it is entered into after 2/29/1984 round, leap year I checked. Fiesta red color, race and maple fingerboard, bridge Fender Vintage pickups RI'57 U.S. SQP type-2 (with The Floating pads). I tested very good microphones on it (Lindy Fralin, Seymour Antiquity) but what are its origins microphones that I found most suitable.
Otherwise, an exact copy of the 1957 Accuracy aside polyurethane varnish instead of nitro.


UTILIZATION

The neck is quite slim, it is far from certain "logs" in the 70s, 21.5/41.5mm at nut, 24/56.5mm at 12th fret. Weight 3.8 kg, you can play for hours without problème.20 frets, and access to acute, it's enough I'm not a guitarist.

SOUNDS

Level sound is really top-flight BP, easily comparable to a current U.S. RI'57 anyway it is the Japanese who have learned how to make Fender réissues.J have also a Am Std 2008, the latter sounds more "modern" and its Japanese cousin has nothing to envy. So by setting the tone that goes "dark / heavy" the chattering depends also used ropes course. Suitable styles 50'60 'in which I play (rock and roll, surf, blues ...)

OVERALL OPINION

Low indestructible, which makes its Precision taf, and Fiesta Red one does not spend inaperçu.J 'had already had a JB in the same series 86 that I unfortunately sold qqs years later. This I keep it no matter what.

Japanese manufactured, 31/03/1983. Standard Reissue 1962 3T sunburst color, maple neck rosewood fingerboard radius 7.25 "pitch 34" 20 frets vintage. Brown Shell Pickguard 3 folded. Weight: 3.850 kg, Easel Type vintage jumpers "spiral" Vintage Style Mechanical Reverse, volume, two tone knobs 250Kohms Audio, capacity 0.1 uF, Micro Alnico U.S. 62.

UTILIZATION

Like my RI'57, PB handle very nice, round width at nut: 43mm at 12th fret: 57.5 mm thick at the first fret: 21.6 mm at the 12th fret: 24.5 mm. Weight: 3.850 kg, so nothing strenuous with this instrument. Access to acute is the standard PB is not made to play the piccolo to Stanley Clarke.

SOUNDS

The sound? Tested with large flat yarn drawing, it is the "Funk Machine" by James Jamerson neither more nor less. But I prefer the round wound strings, cast the rock'n'roll change their spots ... So its a very good typical PB key rosewood, I will not mention all the bass players who have used it and thousands of recordings made with this instrument. His best friend is obviously the Ampeg SVT, but plugged into my B100R or better in my Fender Studiobass is also nickel.

OVERALL OPINION

PB Rosewood I had before it a Tokai that sounded very good but a bit below the Squier anyway. I found it at 650 € an ad on the net, reasonable price when I see speculation built around a series JV. So keep playing and without moderation, I do (try) to music, not commerce.
