Not bad...

My product rating scores are strictly for my Squire Affinity P-Bass, which I bought used and for a cheap price at a local pawn shop.

Sure, I did some truss rod adusting. I also adjusted the saddles on the bridge.

The previous owner was probably a beginner whose playing skills never advanced beyond the grade of a "hobby player" who blames his instrument for his musical shortcomings.

I've found that after the necessary adjustments, the Squire Affinity P-Bass is still not a high end bass but it is a reliable instrument. It can be upgraded by installing better pick-ups.

If you want a decent bass with the style of a real Fender but don't care if Leo's grandkids get an education at some Ivy League college, then look at the Squire line of guitars and basses.

By the way, the Affinity models are the bottom rung of Fender instrument line.

I picked this bass up because it was cheap & because i have a Fender P with a lot of spare parts this bass will inherit. It was pretty rough when I got it, but after adjusting everything it plays just fine. It sounds good & plays good. I care more about playability than the name on my neck, there is no significant difference between this & a Fender MIM. This bass is your basic solid bass. If your a begginer & are considering this bass I recomend you try the Jazz out as well(thinner neck & more tone variations). I'm happy with it in it's stock state but I can't wait to Frankenstein it.

Good Bass, For A Begginer

So i bought this bass a couple years ago just to mess around with while i was a vocalist in another band, once i decided to go a different direction and join a band as a bassist and backup vocalist is when this really got put to the test. The bass sounds pretty good, about what you can expect for this price, HOWEVER, the screws fall out, im not missing over half of the screws on my tuning keys, and as for the "nut" where the strings lay by the head of the bass, one of the stoppers broke off randomly and it would keep moving messing up my tuning after one song, so i super glued it in, worked fine until today when we played a show, when warming up the thing snapped in half and the bass was unplayable, so i borrowed a bass of another band. Not to mention the screws on the knobs tend to back out for no reason. Moral of the story, if you arent planning on playing shows or touring, and you just want something to play every once in a while, this is an all right bass for the price.

Is what it is

This is my second squier. My two main basses: A Squier standard series jazz bass, and a Schecter 004, are what I primarily use to play, but I needed a cheap bass to keep at school that could stand up to Friday night football games in the marching band. I tried out a used Squier P-bass and was very impressed. The action is very nice, and the pickups are quite loud, which is perfect for marching band. It's also got a nice growly sound for the funk I play, even though the standard series Jazz bass has a nicer tone. Of course it's not the best thing you can buy, but when you only pay the Squier price and you get this quality, you're doing good!

Having been an active musician since 1964 I have had extensive experience with Fender products having owned a Jazz Bass and a Telecaster reissue. I purchased a Squire Affinity Bass in 2000 as I had never owned a P-Bass and wanted to get back into music on my terms. Those terms being that I would perform on my schedule and not that of an agent. I must admit I was very surprised at the quality of the instrument for such a reasonable price. I continue to be amazed at this instrument being classified as an entry level/beginner's choice. I learned long ago how to eliminate "string buzz" and how to get a good sound. If you can play and have a quality amplifier you can get there. I do not aspire to play lead on the bass. I aspire to create a solid "bottom" to the groups overall sound. You can certainly do that with this instrument as it is a quality product that gives you a foundation to build on. The rest of the scenario depends on you and your individual ability.
