Fender Squier Affinity Precision Bass - EMPIRE MUSIC 

I've used a Squier guitar for live concerts in front of a crowd of 13,000 in Chicago, Illinois in 1997. I've no problem with the Squier brand.

I've been playing for a few years. Almost 2 decades now. I use a Squire PJazz bass. I often play it more than my Warwick Thumbass 😊. Great bass guitar

@@matthewpope6935 aside from my Squier guitar , I have a Fender stratocaster SRV and do the same as you :-)

Saron Gas hey. I’m thinking of buying one. Actually the “beginners pack,” that Fender and Guitar Center offer. It comes with 15 watt Rumble amp. Do you recommend it?

The sound depends on the amp/speaker system or soundboard (and the sound engineer). If none of those factors are good quality, the Squier bass will not sound as good as the higher quality basses.

I just ordered one myself and I'm pretty excited too.

omg me too !! I just ordered it last night

You could try JamPlay

BassBuzz is pretty good. Lots of free stuff on RU-vid to try before buying the course. Good teacher.

Guitar center lessons or fender play just to begin then later try guitar center lessons

I got some Indonesian-made Squiers and they’re pretty great quality for the price. I kinda don’t like it that they printed the by Fender part on the decal typed FENDER. They should’ve kept the cursive logo like what you’d see on the 2002-2018 Squier Affinity guitars. Other than that, they’ve made some improvements over the years. Thanks for the information.

I have an Indonesian and a Chinese and I think the Chinese is better. It's also a lil newer than my indo though

That's true. The model from Indo has the normal P bass headstock and SQ decal. Quality wise the same as the Squier CV P bass.

Nice info! I'm in the market for one and the one listed on Amazon says its origins are Indonesia. so your information is Gold! Thank you.

That's cool!!! I want to learn bass too!!! Can I ask u how did you start learning about bass? I don't know how could I begin to learn about slap and all that XD

@@jorgequeipul I'm gonna get this one soon, did you got started on bass?

@@jorgequeipul I’d say start working on just regular 2 finger technique and getting a good tone out of it first. You can learn easy songs to try to practice technique.

@@jorgequeipul I recommend learning fingerstyle, and getting a good technique before learning slap

Plugged into a Fender Rumble 200 and Mic'd with a Shure SM94.

We are located at 719 Washington Road Pittsburgh PA 15228

Pickup height probably needs to be adjusted. Get a local guitar tech to set it up for you properly. Check out the Dave's World of Fun Stuff... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z7u8I6JURvk.html

What rumble?

@@drewjeers815 Budget-line Fender amp series. Multiple sizes and wattages available.

Well no shit but if it feels like garbage to play then who’s going to be wanting to play it.

I haven't experienced any.

No neck dive ever has been recorded on any P-Bass, Jazz, copy or otherwise!

@@Ronno4691 Sometimes basswood bodies have neck dive. This one is likely heavy agathis.

Ur old

@@Dmoney2times51 shut up

@@salvey3737 make me

Go Squier you wont regret a thing

@@drunkenjames5814 Thank you for your Feedback. Have a great day.

For a first bass I would recommend a Jazz. They are slightly more versatile, and the narrower nut spacing may benefit you. That said, I prefer a P Bass personally (but own both for different musical situations) as someone that's been playing for almost 30 years. Hope that helps! - Anthony

@@EmpireMusicPgh Thank you. I was already leaning towards the J bass because it sounds better in my opinion.

The Jazz Bass sounds dope to me. IDK why. Most slap players I know use Jazz Basses. I also prefer its less warm tone if you know what I mean. I'd also prefer MM Stingrays over Jazz Basses anytime though. My best advice is to try knowing the "tone" of your bass idols if you have one and see what bass is suited to that "tone" you want to emulate. Otherwise, try describing what sound you hear on the bass and see which one fits your taste in music.

Yeah kinda

Omar Sharif it has a precision neck

It's in between, for example, Jazz nutwidth is 38 mm vs 43 of the P bass but PJ is 41mm

When he's got the Jazz Bass pickup on, there's some interference because it doesn't have the humbucking effect of the two-piece Precision Bass pickup.

@@drpibisback7680 Yes, noticed also now that you mentioned it. Workaround for avoiding this? Generally speaking I know for example P90 pickups on guitars tend to do the same and I forgot what others mentioned to reduce this. You know? Like an effect or a device?

@@cnoriga There's a few options. I'm not sure if noiseless Jazz pickups exist, but they make them for single coils on guitar so there might be an equivalent for bass. Just swap the original pickup with the noiseless one if it exists and you won't get that hum (they're basically humbuckers but with the second coil underneath the first rather than next to it, so it doesn't pick up anything). A noise gate will also work since the noise is most noticeable when you're not playing, so the gate will mute that. There's also the EHX hum debugger, a pedal-style device that kills hum while allowing the original signal to pass through without too much manipulation, but I can't say it would certainly work here.

@@drpibisback7680 Thanks, the noise gate actually rings the bell, HUM Debugger sounds good also.

Pretty crazy for a bass of this price!! Thanks for watching - Anthony

SAME HERE

@@asyrafmansor2473 Eventually it was available again but went sold out once mre after a week or two. Pandemic has made everyone want to play music

@@cnoriga yeahh it only have one store that sold here,

Normal size

This recording sounds muffled. Others I've watched do a better job of showing the range.

@@Salieri47 only on this particular video. i have the very same black one and it sounds awesome.

Vintage for example makes some really good replicas for less money and some says they're better than Squier overall.

So, you bought a Fender and returned it for something cheaper? Only rich people can go cheap, because the cheap people end up buying the more expensive item when the cheap item goes *boom* because, cheap.

@@mollymcghee2220 no but Squier Affinity is paying for the name. It’s not decent quality.

Not really, I bought the unbranded $75 and comparing it to the very same black squier on this video, the $75 sounds like a tin can.
