On 2002-09-23, Goran Pavlovic rated this Squier Precision a 2...(2762)
Purchase: I bought it as my first bass, about 5 years ago. I hadn't had much money so I bought it second handed for approx. 200 Euro. It is not much, considering it is a Japanese made guitar.
Pros: When i bought it, I liked everything about it, but now... Only the durability and appearance (three-colour sunburst, rosewood fingerboard) are good about it.
Cons: After years of playing, frets are worn, pickups don't give true Fender sound and bridge is terrible (due lack of maintenace, though).
Quality: As I wrote above, this bass is very durable and has seen a lot of bad situatins, especially in my younger days. Still, it stays in tune all the time, even when I put it in gig bag after concert, and take it out after a day or two, it is still tuned. Construction is good, considering this to be a very cheap instrument. I'm not so shure that a new Fender that costs about 4 times as Squier, is better in a same rate.
Review Summary: Affordable, durable and beautifull bass. But I wouldn't reccomend it to anybody but begginer. Sound (Precision sound) is universal, so you can play any type of music with it.
