Arguably the best bass there is for under a grand, the fit and finish of these things are incredible. I was a bit apprehensive at first, being an Affinity, but it's identical to the Squire Jazz Bass I had about 10 years ago, the one with the one-piece pickguard/control plate. And THAT was the finest bass I have ever had my hands on, period. Leave the high-dollar stuff in the closet, where it belongs. This is all you need. In fact, buy 2, or 3. For the price of a stompbox, you get a killer bass, that actually plays better than the "real" ones, possibly the only example of the entry-level version doing this that I know of. I think a lot of it is the satin finish on the neck, but the wood quality on my example was top-notch, and even with the smaller frets, it outplays ANY of the US Fender's I've ever had my hands on. AND the G&L's AND the Rickenbackers. What you are getting, is a well-constructed platform that you can use as-is, or if you just can't leave well enough alone, install those high-dollar parts on, which will cost you more than this bass does. I bought it to replace a worn-out Peavey BXP, with some misgivings, because of the cheezy hardware, etc. on the Affinity strats, and was knocked out by how well-made this thing was. Unplugged, it has great sustain, and spank/sparkle that I just don't hear in the 1/2 inch poly coated US versions. I really think that makes a difference. Intonated out of the box, as well. No truss rod adjustment needed, either. No, it probably won't last as long as a US version, but then again, my 16-year old Squire Standard strat neck is on it's 4th body. I was expecting MUCH less for my money, and got FAR more. NO poly-coated, sticky disaster here, the neck is uber-fast, and while I'm not expecting it to hold up in high heat/humidity environments, I'll just buy another one, because it's cheaper than replacing the neck. You just can't go wrong with this, no matter what.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I once owned an American Fender 4 string jazz bass but I traded it several years ago and I've been feeling regrets lately so I decided to go budget on another jazz bass. Seeing the 5 string version and how much I enjoy my Yamaha TR5 fretless bass, I figured I'd go 5 string on the jazz too. I went into this knowing I wanted to do some upgrades anyway. To my surprise, this guitar came to me in excellent condition though the packaging made me initially skeptical of how it was going to look. I don't think they used the original packaging. Either way, after tuning it up, it seemed to play pretty nice. The pickups were rather noisy unless they ran together and cancelled out the single coil noise but they sounded pretty good. I did replace the pickups with Seymore Duncan Quarter Pounders along with replacing the three pots, cap, jack and I installed real Fender Jazz knobs due I didn't like the feel of the Squier pointy knobs, The next thing I'm going to do it install top side fret dots due I can't see the tiny black ones on there now. But, as far as the guitar goes in general, it's a fun bass to play. It's the classic Fender Jazz Sunburst style that I always adored. As for it being a Squier, the playability is there other than it having better componentry. The neck is much wider than my Yamaha but I can get used to it. After searching on-line for used Fender Jazz guitars, I suppose I could have, should have went that route rather than buying a Squier and investing 200 dollars into it though. But, it's done now and I'll just have a pretty bass guitar that I won't need to fuss too much about if it gets bumped around somehow. It does sound awesome with the upgrades and it looks nice too. There are used Fender guitars for around 4 to 5 hundred so you'll have to decide on your route. For an out of the box guitar though, it does work. Just depends what you plan on using it for, I guess.Vollständige Rezension lesen

This bass is perfect for anyone who wants a quality product that will sound good without spending a ton of money. I saved some money by getting one that had a couple Tony cosmetic blemishes from the factory, which are barely noticeable

The best thing about J basses is the positions of pickups. People argue over this but at the end of the day, J bass simply works well cutting through a live mix with loud band members. Add favorite strings and upgrade pickups if really necessary and you’re good to go. No need to spend 1000’s.
