    I've been playing for over 30 years and this bass plays unbelievable well. Such a great value. It's in the heavier side from what im used to, but I'm sure i will get used to that. I'm very happy with my purchase.

  • The Sleeper in the Fender/Squier Lineup

    I chose this after comparing the Fender/Squier precision bass lineup versus the Fender Ultra II Precision. This came closest to that sound. The ceramic pickups are hot, so they do need to be tamed using volume and tone as well as a good amp sim pedal. Cuts through the mix in gigs.

    This item was inexpensive, exactly what I was looking for. I used to use a fender jazz bass that my guitar player owned until he sold it. So i have a soft spot for this style. The precision was on sale so i went for it. It has some string buzz which is to be expected but great sound!

  • Great Sound at a Surprising Price

    I was shopping for a new bass that would be CITES compliant. My older basses are pre 2019 and have rosewood fret boards. I can't mpared thelis bass woth the Player Saturday Night Special, Player II precision bass, Player II jazz bass, and the Standard Precision, as well as the Ultra Precision. What I found was that this was closest to the Ultra - the ceramics being significantly brighter than either the standard or player series. I expect that this will help cut through the mix. Overall an incredible value.

    Overall this guitar has a great sound out of both pickups, individually and combined. I play it in between watching episodes of Wonder Woman and the Bionic Space People.

    Where do I plug in the cord to connect it to the amp?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    On your Squier Affinity Series Limited-Edition PJ Bass, you plug the cord (instrument cable) into the output jack, which is located on the bottom edge of the bass body, right next to the strap button on the lower side. Here's a quick step-by-step: Take a standard ¼-inch instrument cable (same type you'd use for an electric guitar). Find the metal jack plate on the lower side of the bass (if you’re holding the bass normally, it’s at the bottom near where your strumming/picking hand rests). Plug one end of the cable firmly into that jack. Plug the other end into the input of your amp (usually labeled "Input").

    I want to get a warm full sound with this, i am considering getting flatwounds for this purpose but wanted to know if the bass itself will assist in getaway the sound I'm looking for, if it doesn't do you have any recommendations for how I can best get what I'm looking for (by the way I'm on a low budget)

    Open Reply - Gear-Advisor
    "warm full sound"-----"flatwounds" This is a great choice. This is better---------Squier Sonic Precision Bass 2-Color Sunburst. You don't want that bridge pup. The original Precision Bass is the sound you want.
