Great Video, Buddy! Nice Squier Bass too.. just a thought about the pickups .. i guess these have the ceramic pickups, not Alnico .. probably
i know this is an old thread, but i just picked up the same bass in a pawn shop special for a couple hundred. i installed the geezer butler emg pickups, changed the pick guard to black , and i now have an excellent badass sounding bass geezer clone (looks like a lakeland enough) that has great action and feel. i dont buy into this "beginner bass" crapola. doesnt matter how expensive it is, if it looks good , sounds good , plays good… then it IS good.
I'm a beginner bass player who owns one of these, I put flatwounds on it, sounds pretty good for a starter bass.
I've got one Squier Affinity Jazz & P-Bass each but I want to upgrade to these Squier Standards pronto as the Squier Standard Teles and Strats in my collection are also great wee guitars in their own right*. Leo Fender got it right first time with the Precision and Jazz basses – even cheap knock-offs built to the same scale lengths, measurements and dimensions can sound almost (!) as good as any real Fender!
*Saying that something is a "great wee [something]" is a uniquely Scotch term of endearment, meaning that the item(s) in question are of great quality for the price, punch well above their weight in terms of value, performance, looks and durability and make for a very sound investment indeed!
A very enjoyable review, nice to see a review where the reviewer does not have an armful of decorative tattoos and/or a wool winter cap that looks absurd when worn indoors and slap the living daylights out of the instrument. I have 1 of these basses in sunburst, bought in a pawnshop a few years back for about $100 US and I'm floored by the sounds I can get out of it. Let me preface here that I haven't played a gig in 42 years and my playing time was roughly, 1969-1979. mostly using a Gibson EB 2 and then a Fender Tele Bass. Now, being old and an empty nester, I can indulge myself and buy a few basses that appeal to me. This Squier absolutely blows me away with the sounds it can make and I only wish there was a bass this superior back when I was a beginner. The only exception I can make between mine and this one is that mine weighs at least 10 pounds if not more but the sounds and the tones I can get just out of a little 35 watt practice amp are amazing. Well done, sir.
why play the power chord……………
I got a black 2004 Squire Standard P Bass with P and J pickups, jazz neck, and p bass body. Made in Indonesia, by Cort, it was part of the black and chrome series, but someone changed out the chrome pickguard and replaced it with a red torti one. My bass has the black headstock and says Standard. It's a wonderful bass, I got it for $40 from local pawn shop, I installed new strings, Fender Nickel plated steel 7250's, 105, 85, 65, 45, perfect for jazz, rock and slap funk.
Which you think better sir? The squier affinity pj or squier standard pj??? I really wanna buy it
Just got that exact Bass as a birthday present. I LOVE IT!!!!
I am so fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking happy to finally here someone play the bass on a demo without slapping. Nirvana is not my cup of tea, but I love hearing your straight forward bass without it turning into the Seinfeld Show. Thanks for the video. I have being beating the ax for 25 years and never jumped on the bass slapathon trend.
I just bought a sunburst one myself after looking at your vid, so thank you.
I think It is a good platform for an upgrade. Which pickups do you think are a direct replacement and an improvement worth to invest on and not too expensive?
Thanks a lot!
Great video sir, keep making them this video makes me even more excited for when I get my PJ bass! 🙂
Hey man, I just got me a black lefty Squier Pbass on guitar center just like yours(but without the extra pickup). It is my first bass guitar. Could you use a guitar amp for a bass? I have 3 guitar amps and really don't want to get another amp. Would it work if I keep the bass settings low and/or keep it at a lower volume? I have a little Fender 15 watt amp with an 8" Celestion Super 8 speaker, a Fender Champion 40 watt with a 12" Eminence Man o War, and a Peavey Ultra 60 head with matching 412 Peavey stack, which has the original old 1980s Sheffield speakers. Would either of those amps work with a bass or am I beat? I hope so, because the wife won't agree to another purchase in these Corona times lol.. Thanks man.
That's nice I just purchased the white Olympia White affinity PJ Bass by Squier thanks for sharing????
Just bought a squeir standard precision bass. What years were these made? The back of the tuning head has decals worn off but I see S/N IC04——-
were they built strictly in Indonesia, or were some built elsewhere?
I use A Joyo Dyna Compressor, Ibanez SM7 & a set of Ernie Ball 100. Sound's brilliant, perfectly comfortably weight.
Great song choice "New Year's Day". Been learning that on bass myself. I have a Washburn XB100 and want another bass, but Fender Precision and Fender Jazz are out of the question right now, given my tight budget. Might have to invest in a Squier.
I've got a black/black on order. May be a fun toy.
This bass sounds incredible for the price. Give this bass to Getty Lee and tell folks it’s a $3,500 custom Fender…in other words the player has a lot to do with final sound. I’m getting one…same cost as a nice dinner and some drinks so can’t lose with this tonal addition to my arsenal.
I feel like i've already heard the song at 5:00, but i can't remember the name. Someone who tells me?
I have one and am loving it! 🙂
GREAT PLAYING WOW. I want to get into playing bass and this really inspired me to really look into picking one up! thank you ????????????????
My favorite Precision Bass from Squier
Sadly, they don’t make these anymore. I have the 5-string version of this bass since mine came from the same series. It’s a 20th anniversary bass which came out in 2002. However, my bass has 2 black solid Jazz Bass pickups.
I scored one of these for $95 bucks at a pawn shop…it plays but it's beat up…where do I go for hardware replacements? I only asked because Fender and Squier sometimes differ…thanks man
what kind of amp? thx
New Year's Day is one of my fav basslines ever, great vid. Is that master tone control basically a high pass filter to control the treble?
ordered a Squier PJ bass a couple days ago. its a Vintage Modified, and im so excited to start playing the bass 😀
Awesome bass! What's the name of the second tune you played at 4:58?
My dream bass… ????????????
Cool demo, I have one, it's a keeper, for what I paid it's a wonderful bass.
Was that don’t forget me by Red Hot Chili Peppers?
i have the same : cool for the price but now i want a Fender it will sound better !
Anyone know the nut width?
3:11 Hladno Pivo – Nije Sve Tako Sivo
You are correct, this is a true p/j bass in electronics and build. So in addition to p and j pickups you also have a precision body and a jazz neck 1.5 in at the nut. I have the vintage modified precision bass pj is basically a straight p bass(body and neck) with a single coil j pickup in the bridge. Great playing
Hi Rob, what do you recommend between this one and a vintage modified jaguar special both made in indonesia, same kind of neck and configuration. Thanks !
cool bass and nice playing dude.what is the first bass line that you play,i really like it.
Outstanding basses. I cannot understand why Fender/Squier removed them from the Squier line. I own 2 of them, and plan to be buried with them.
That's a nice sounding bass. Doesn't hurt to have the extra options.
Not sure if the more J Bass width at the nut makes it easier or harder to play (I don't remember playing a J Bass).
Nice bit of grunt and growl to it though!
Hey Rob, what do you recommend? A few months ago we started composing with a colleague some songs, and we have planned to form a band, both played the guitar for three years, now we are about to buy both an electric guitar. How do we get started? We already have the band formed.
Black is one of my least favorite guitar colors. But you wouldn’t think that considering both of my basses are black.
You should get a Fender mustang bass. I played one and it was a lot of fun.
Awesome video as always.
