Hail traveler! Have you seen beyond the mountains? There be rumors of dragons in this land. I don't much believe in what I haven't seen, but I always try to ask when fellows like yourself breeze through town. Your type seems to have plenty of stories to tell. So, please, let me buy you a round and you can tell me about them dragons.

This bass is worth every penny you spend on it. I got the pink one three days ago, it's my first Squier and it did not disappoint me at all. This bass is worth it for the back pickup. The shell pink looks great. Plays great too.

Yup: the bridge pick-up is killer, absolutely non-traditional Fender. This is a LONG bass -the short scale for players who don't want to be seen playing a short scale(!) I am an old fart traditional player and I am digging this big-time; can't wait to play this with my blues rock guitar friend. This is now being offered with a red finish on the Fender/Squire site. BTW: thank you for playing classic licks for tone reference.

This bass reminds me of sonic youth and that’s how I’m using it. Also try and change the pots to a full size cts it brings it to life a bit more. I’ve already modded mine to a push/pull volume/tone and a kill switch. It’s a noise making rocking machine! Love it!

@trunks828 10 месяцев назад
@@57precision no readings on the Chinese pots to be honest I believe 250k I replaced mine with 250k CTS I pots split coil so down is just a volume and up is the tone. I barely use the tone on this but options are always good. I also replace the jack the cheap Chinese ones tend to fail after awhile. I may try 500k to brighten things up a bit later just to see what happens also got a 8mm kill switch where the tone pot was.

@jakequarstad8705 7 месяцев назад
@ampthebassplayer You noted, as other have, playing low on the bridge due to it being positioned relatively high up on the body. Does that result in the string tension feeling more like a standard bass than other short scales, such the Mustang?
@ampthebassplayer
@ampthebassplayer 7 месяцев назад
It feels like a standard scale as far as tension goes to me, but that could be string gauge as much as it is scale length.

I would say that the Rascal sounds much better than the Thunderbird, the T-Bird sounded to me quite nasal in comparison, while the Rascal has the old "mudbucker" sound, not unlike the 70's Tele basses, the Gibson EB-0/1/3s or the 70's Guild basses with the "sludgebucker" pickups. I usually tend to like more that kind of sound than the typical thin, nasal sound of more modern basses or even the classic P-Bass kind of sound, that's why i have an older Squier VM Precision TB, that is basically a 70's Telecaster bass reissue and i love it, with flatwounds or tapewounds, it sounds very upright-like. So i guess that this one would sound very similar with that kind of strings.
