  • I own this bass for some time now and it has its pros and cons.
    Pros: small & simple, easy to play, nice neck feel, keeps the string action well, overall fine single coil sound.
    Cons: sharp fret edges (this is a HUGE con), cheap tuners, significant hum because of the only pickup + not a fan of color options.
    Now I'm looking for something with better pickups, some PJ option, but this bass is still great for the money.

  • Nice it seems like since it was new they've changed to a four saddle bridge. really considering getting this as my first bass. heard the neck finish sucks but if it's thin then that's easy to remove and redo.

  • They should add 2 more pickups, a 5 way switch, good tuners and 2 more saddles and it would be one of the best basses on the market.

  • I am a somewhat seasoned bass player who has developed poorer motor skills. Short-scale base has been a solution. (And short-scale basses actually sound fantastic!?).
    I already have a Danelectro longhorn which is great.
    But a bass with "classic" Fender sound is needed.
    I have very bad finances these days
    I'm such a music snob and would never buy this bass even if it sounds ok!?! (Although I really would like to).
    I'm a fool!

  • Sounds brittle and shitty.

    If you brought that bass to a gig you wouldn't be getting a second gig.
    If you take to practice with a band and start to push it that knarly tone is just going to get worse.

  • I like the Bronco Bass from Squier/Fender – in my youtube Chanel you could find a modificated Bronco Bass with sound very nice. ????

  • I usually like to buy cheap instruments and upgrade them (I started because many of my friends had their gear stolen while gigging, and I don't want that to happen to my vintage ones), but I'd do that with a Squier Mustang Bass + NM4 pickup. The problem with the Bronco is the agathis body which is…meh, to say the least. I played an LTD made of agathis once, that thing had no sustain at all.

  • Great review, these cheap squier short scales give so much bang for buck
    I’m hoping to get one and mod it over time, like your suggestion. Will have spent less then equivalent specs on fenders and be super personal
