MGR/Anonymous « Squier Standard Precision Bass Special »
Published on 03/10/04 at 15:00My fellow bandmate purchased it for like 160 bucks at a local music store. It was a pretty sweet deal for the price.
This bass is perfect for the player who likes both Fender models (P Bass and J Bass). It has a Precision Bass body fitted with a Jazz Bass neck. The neck is a lot more playable than the Precision's thicker design. The pickups are a combination of a Jazz pickup at the bridge and a Precision pickup in the central position. By adjusting tone knobs, you can literally make one bass sound like two, plus its affordable to the average player.
There's some serious buzzing on a few of the frets. Also, the volume seems to randomly cut out from time to time. This only happens on low volumes, and it might be in the cable. The stock strings are kinda crappy, but our bass player doesn't plan on changing them.
Well made bass. Don't let anyone tell you that Squier's are of poor quality, because it's not true. The bass looks decent and can take quite a beating if used on tour.
Our bass player is planning to buy a Rickenbacker or some kind of Fender Humbucker model for his next bass, and he's going to sup' up his Squier Special. A friend of ours is going to paint it hot pink. It should be a replica of Mark Hoppus' sweet ass bass. But it will have more sound variety.
