The New Squier Sonic Precision Bass. Squier Delivers.

[@Le_Mer]

I'm thinking of getting one. If I lived in the US, I would for sure be getting it from the House of Guitars just because of your energy.

[@florabee9283]

I have a sonic Bronco bass that I just did a fret dress to (Ohio in winter with the heat blasting is way drier than Indonesia). It took very little to take care of the sprouted frets and while I was at it I did a fret level which only required a tiny bit of effort and now with it set up it’s just staggering how well it plays! I’m glad to see the Precision of the series is also impressive.

After hearing this video, I decided to go to the local music store and try one out. Wow!!! This is a great bass!!! I would gig with this and take it on the road. It’s light, the neck is fantastic, and the pickups blew me away. I was going to put the geezer Emg’s but I don’t even want to now. Amazing bass grab it now!

[@TheHiwattScott]

I've gotten bit of a bashing about the neck being quarter sawn. Squier does not specify them being quarter sawn maple but mine certainly is. The flame in it indicates it as such and the flame is quite dramatic. I have a background in antique restoration, woodworking, luthier etc. Hope that clears some things up.👍🏻

Just ordered this guitar through an online shop, this video makes me even more excited for it to arrive! :7

[@donnix1192]

I agree, I just bought one, a special run in surf green. I have a Fender Vintera 50s and a classic vibe 60s-this bass is a great instrument for any player.

[@HexxHenderson]

I recently bought one of the 40th anniversary ones that cool blonde color with the gold anodized guard. It is absolutely stellar and that’s me comparing it to a bunch of my vintage fenders going back to my original 1958-P. Straight out of the box the thing sounded amazing. I decided to go one better because I’m endorsed by Seymour Duncan, so I put a Steve Harris PickUp in it. And a Puretone output jack. but I could’ve easily just lived with it completely stock and went on tour with it. It’s that good.

[@SxSxG666]

I got my Squier P bass for less than 200 bucks just for the cool lime green body color and thought to need it to heavily mod it first before I call it an instrument. But it was quite good out of the box with no real need for any changes.

[@chrischurchill4978]

I've been playing my beloved Warwick Corvette since I bought it in 1995 - just ordered one of these because I just got to have a P-bass and this is a ton of bang for the buck

[@finlaymacdougall6393]

Superb at the price point! Excellent value and a great set up on the one i bought. 👍

[@skomyjester]

Wow Scott you weren't kidding about the tone! I've been shopping around for a bass after the *absolute* disaster of a warped neck microphonic FSO (gonna steal that from now on) that I got to start on that is basically unplayable past the third fret (literally an inch off the neck past the third fret).

[@Longisland95]

Best review I’ve seen on this Bass. Great job. Thanks. 🤘🏻👍

[@TheHiwattScott]

Wow, thanks!

[@AllAboutBasses]

Squier has been delivering, I'm noticing a big quality increase in the past 4-5 years.

[@SxSxG666]

I bought a lime green Squier P bass and it's quality is without any issues. I expected far less but got a functional instrument for less than 200 bucks.

[@zy5492]

amazing demo thanks !!!

[@ChickenSagittarius]

Sounds amazing, especially with the entwistle sound, was looking at the sunburst version

[@SnarkyRC]

I have this same bass in Surf Green.

[@bobt5778]

How's the balance?

[@SnarkyRC]

@@bobt5778 It's good. I like it.

[@DavidGibbons-vk5sw]

Interesting

[@brettthebassist]

Looking for a spare and ordered this today!!

[@JoeD-wv1hu]

Man I want this bass! Don’t really need it lol but yes I do! Squire has come a long wayyyyyyyy. I can’t justify paying fender prices

[@drob281159]

Got one. Love it.

[@markusw9286]

Thanks for this review! Currently getting into making my own music and i was looking for a affordable bass and this seems perfect considering I'm on a budget!

[@tigerscott2966]

I will have to wait until January. The Z3 is sold out...

[@AveryLiburd]

beautiful bass

[@blackcreekmusic783]

I just bought a sunburst one and it's the best decision I've ever made. Sure, I'll be upgrading stuff but these basses are solid. It needed a setup but I do all my onward it was really only the neck and saddle height. The intonation was near perfect too! The two tone sunburst is gorgeous. I bought a set of rotosounds to put on it soon.

[@daneesquenazi7457]

I looooooooved your review! I have a question... I'm a beginner and have small hands, would you recommend this bass guitar?

[@TheHiwattScott]

@daneesquenazi7457 yes I definitely would recommend this bass for a beginner! Small hands are not a impediment to playing bass, I think you'll be just fine.

[@TheHiwattScott]

@daneesquenazi7457 yes I would recommend this bass if your hands are smaller the 1.5" nut width should be comfortable for you.

[@miguelangelcolon1345]

Hi, can you list or name the other basses you have there?

[@achilleasanastasiou4597]

Sounds great! Just one question tho... does it suffer from a neck dive?

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

I have the Squier Affinity p-bass, which has a slightly heavier neck than the Sonic, and there's no significant neck dive. Could always fit a higher mass bridge to move the point of balance further down the body.

[@Hidudesupman]

Squier is a cheaper fender that fender made purposely and I really dig it

[@myhapylife]

Great review, thanks. Is this indonesian one?

[@TheHiwattScott]

Yes made in Indonesia.

[@julianodecastro]

What year this model?

[@TheHiwattScott]

Mine is a late 2023.

[@julianodecastro]

@@TheHiwattScott amazing Sound .🤘 Tank's mate

[@TheHiwattScott]

2024!

[@ГеоргиКарчин-б5й]

Neck is awful.Just spent a little more money for better Squier ( about 400-500$) and you will have great instrument .

[@TheHiwattScott]

The neck on mine is fantastic, great fretwork and super low action. A absolute pleasure to play.

[@SxSxG666]

The neck of mine is fantastic too. No sharp frets, nice dressing, nice satin finish. No dings no dongs. Don't know if I was just lucky or if they have a working quality control unlike Gibson. But jokes aside. I love my Squier although it is a cheapo.

[@ГеоргиКарчин-б5й]

​@@SxSxG666In the Store where i tried that Squier there were a few Squier Bronco basses which a were similar price .They are thousand times better than Sonic version, although they are short scale.

[@jackmckeown2869]

Just bought one and can confirm my neck is amazing, sorry homie u just got a dud. unlucky :/

[@iamSmiley1]

Mine is great as well. I have the California blue as well and it looks soo good! 👍🏼
