Squier P- Electric Bass

What can i say? this guitar offers many good-points compared to its few bad points. My first bass guitar was a squire P-Bass and for an entry levle guitar, it was ample, in fact, it was just about ample for more than entry levle: Good-points: This guitar carries forward many features of its slightly more sophisticated Fender brother, including similar component parts and construction methods. Examples include: -high-quality dot inlays on the rosewood fretboard, -alder body, -standard Fender Super 7250ML strings (some of the best ive ever used), -chrome hardware. As a consequence of this, the P ... more

This is the Bass that I learnt to play upon, and really thats what I would recomend it for. It's cheap, reliable and most importantly produces a fairly good sound. And although it's not the best looking bass and certainly not the best, it is ideal for those who want to learn to play as it doesn't require too much outlay and is actually quite good for learning upon and when you smack it against walls by accident it wont cause too much damage, he he.

All in all this is a great starter bass and i ... more

I first got my Squier P-Bass almost two years ago and I still play it today. It has been through many injuries fromt that day but I can still get some nice sound out of her. What lets this bass down is the fact its cheap production means some components are cheaply made. For example the tone and volume knobs fell off within weeks of purchase. The actual sound of the bass is good for the price (with one of my friends commenting it sounded better than his Fender Mexican P-Bass). The electronics seems stable at first but the jack let me down. When jamming my guitarist stood on my jacklead and it ... more
