Отзывы о Бас-гитара FENDER SQUIER Affinity 2021 Precision Bass PJ MN Black

Great sound, i like it. But when i got it, straight from the post office i opened it and one of the pegs was broken. Needs to be better packaged when delivered.

この黒が入ったメイプルネックはなかなかないので購入。サンバーストはとてもきれい。ピックアップはfenderカスタム'60s Jazz Bass Pickupsに交換、ピックガードも赤べっ甲に交換。音はやや乾いたyamahaに近い音になった。10万円超クラスにはやはりかなわないが、アメリカ・メキシコfennder向けのパーツとの相性が良いので、いじくるには良い素材。jazzbass形状はプレシジョンより改造が簡単なところも良い。改造前から4弦がやや歪むが、改造後も同様、この原因はいまだ分からず。

The value for the price is there. It sounds great and plays great. And its delivered to your front door.

Ive been playing guitar and bass for 14 years and this is my first brand new bass. I love it.

Oh my God 100% recommended, BEST BASS ever,either for Pro or beginner. Worth the money.

This bass has phenomenal tone and solid build. Didn’t expect such a quality instrument from Squier

This bass plays and sounds a great, but the one I received was badly finished. The neck did not match the body - it was a yellow shade, and the body was much darker than in the pictures. I returned it because it looked like two different instruments glued together. Don’t know if they are all like that, but this one was.

Update- ordered a second one, and although it is definitely darker than in the picture and a bit yellowish (Thursday it’s supposed to be “classic“ classic look) the finish matches on the neck am body. Playing it for a couple of months now, and really like this instrument.

Setup was very good. Shipping was very fast.

The only thing I was not happy with is that one of the tuners was broken when I received it. The gears were broke and stripped. I changed the tuners out. Other then that it is a great beginner bass. I plan on upgrading parts myself for me.

This is a great product if it arrives in good condition

変形ベース（リッケンの4003）から入ってしまったのですが
教則本やネットの動画ではジャズベースが中心という状況でして
５弦が必要になった際に、ジャズベースを購入する事を考えました。

欠点から書いておくと。ボディもネックもメイプルなので重いです。
ピックアップの出力が弱いかなというぐらいですが、
ジャズベはそういうものらしく
音作りなんかも、しっかりジャズベの音作りできてます。
勉強する上での教則本等の通りにやれるという意味で充分でした。
いずれピックアップは交換して好きにしたら良いかなと思います。

良かった部分については、
スクワイアのシリーズの中で、最もクオリティが高い
ヴィンテージモディファイより上の、クラシックヴァイブ
との事だったんですけど、
実物が、本家のミドルクラスに迫るハイクオリティでした。
初心者のうちに手にしてみたかった楽器だったのですが
ヤマハのような楽器としての作りの良さを感じる満足感が有ります
作りがしっかりしています。

音についての感想ですが
僕自身が、元々ギターを弾いてまして
ベースの練習とかはしたいけど、音がなかなか聞き取れてないぐらいで
リッケンみたいなクリアで高めの音が好きだったもので
ボディがメイプルで、ネックも指板もメイプルとかのベースは
音の輪郭がハッキリしているので弾いてて音を認識しやすいのが
わざわざスクワイアのコレを選んで正解だったなと思うところです。
好み次第では、コレがベストという人も居るんじゃないでしょうか。

High quality bass guitar from material solidity to its magnificent sounds and affordability. Highly recommended!

Belle aubaine!

かっこよくて気に入りました。

この価格でこのクオリティは十分ではないでしょうか。1弦のチューニングがやり難いかな。ナットが狭いかも知れません。
コントロールプレートの中が微妙に汚い。開ける人は少ないか…。
テンションが強めかも。

Love the classic vide strat and 72 tele.

But this thing is already underwhelming out of the box since the frets are even finished. Very sharp and unacceptable.

Surprised cause my 60s stratocaster classic vibe is so well done.

Pretty cool guitar, although the B tuning knot is stripped and the volume knob is broken... don’t buy online

Love it!

Very good

Machine heads barely work, one peg is about to fall off(assuming in warehouse). The certified “setup” done by someone that’s not a luthier. The screws in the pickups were oxidized already.
I played the same bass a GC and liked it... Really regretting this purchase.
The neck is warped, the intonation is garbage…
Don’t buy from instruments from Amazon or eBay

値段が倍ぐらい違いますが、このシリーズは別に持っているアフィニティシリーズとは比較にならないぐらい出来が良いです。塗装もフレットエッジの処理もなかなか。
長期在庫品だったのか、フレットのくすみやネックボルトの緩み、ネックの反りなどはありましたが、メンテナンスをして良くなりました。
裏面にゴマ粒大の打痕があったのと、多少のメンテナンスが必要だったことから☆は２つ減らしました。

This review is for the 2019 Squier Classic Vibe sunburst Precision bass. For the price of this bass it is a phenomenal value. I had a genuine sunburst Fender 66' precision bass back in my teens and later on a 72' fretless model which I paid less for with Fender case than I paid for this, but I feel this one actually plays better than any of those, but most of the reason is that I never had a clue on how to set up a bass back then. I never even touched the truss rod or knew what it was for. We were always told it was for just in case your neck got warped, how silly! The only immediate issues I have had with the new Squier thus far are one of the pickguard screws was missing which Chicago Music Exchange replaced. Hardware stores don't seem to carry these screws. Funny that it came with an inspection mark off sheet and one inspection catagory item was (pickguard secured properly). Tells you these people just make the checks but don't do the actual inspection. Also one of the tuning keys is a little notchy compared to the other three but once tuned it seems to stay in tune. The tone and volume control were really stiff and notchy at first but after 2 weeks both are now somewhat better. The one metal tone knob is slightly pitted on top which bothers me why anyone would put it on there in the first place. The frets came reasonably smooth but I did file down some sharp areas on the sides at the bottom edges of the frets. Paint job is good but not perfect, there are some slight ripples if you look hard enough. One odd thing, this is supposed to be 60's Classic Vibe Precision, but there is no thumb rest like on all the 60's Precisions so someone really missed the mark on the Classic Vibe designation of this bass. I could buy a Fender thumb rest and put it on myself in the same location it was originally back in the 60's (on the treble side) just to give it a little more classic vibe that's missing in that regard, but then again I may never use it. Once this bass is properly set up and you put on better strings (I put on Roto Sound round wounds) it is a really nice bass. I really forgot how much fun a Precision is to play after using other basses. I'm not sure how much better the American made versions are for around $900 more than the $350 I paid for this one. I suppose that you get all the screws for your pickguard though.

9/20/19 Took away one star because one of the tuning keys now won't make a complete rotation without getting stuck. The gear is out of specification so when it reaches that flawed point in its rotation it jams against the worm gear coming to a complete stop. I'm also getting small metal shavings breaking off. This won't do!

9/30/19 Decided the tuners are pretty much garbage so I replaced all of them with Hipshot HB7's. It was a lot of work because I had to drill new holes and fill in the old ones but it is now so much easier to tune plus tuning is more precise. I also replaced the bridge with a highmass Omega, getting much better sustain. The two pots now rotate much smoother since I figured out how to remove the chrome knobs (there are no set screws) and sprayed some WD40 inside there. I believe they are Alpha pots, perhaps not as good as CTS or some others but for right now they are staying. I put a coat of dark walnut stain on top of the Indian Laurel wood fret board and wiped off the access to make it nearly indistinguishable from the no longer available Rosewood, looks really nice! Apparently Rosewood is on the endangered list from all the tree cutting. When they shellaced the neck, instead of putting the nut in afterwards they got real lazy and went right over the sides of the nut with shellac making it darker on both sides. Also the nut was not glued in properly, fell right off when I changed the strings. I lightly sanded the nut removing the brown shellac on both sides making it white again, looks much better. Glued in the nut with a few drops of superglue for a more solid bond for better tone and sustain. Still, for $350 this is a good bass as long as you are willing and have the know how to make things right on your own, perhaps even having to put some more money into it.

10/ 3/19 I thought the stock Squier pickups were a little boomy and muddy with not a lot of definition so wired in some Lindy Fralins. It was between those and EMG Geezers but after lots of U-Tube listening and bass forum browsing I chose the Fralins. At $140 they are over one third the price I paid for the entire bass. When I removed the old pickups the vacant cavity in the body was really dusty and looked like it even had a few spider webs. Cleaned out the wood cavity and then soldered in the new pickups. Had to add some new foam to raise the pickups higher to have better adjustability later on, then plugged it into my amp and prayed that it all worked. It did and I immediately noticed more clarity with harmonic richness and lots of "air" there, kinda like a very expensive stereo system. I'm getting none of the out of control bass heavyness in the E string that was there with the stock pickup. Sounds very Steinway Grand Pianolike to me in tone character which I love!

10/21/19 After pondering over the really poor soldering job on the volume, tone pots and input jack and after getting a disgusted feeling when I saw the chaotic mess of wire the way it was stuffed inside the guitar cavity, I decided that with all the other upgrades I had made that it was time to also do something about this. Today I installed a 920D Custom Shop prewired harness for a Precision bass for $42 after a 15% discount. The soldering is immaculate, everything is high grade components and all the wiring well organized. All I had to do was solder in the pickups and a few ground wires. It even came with two new ALL METAL knobs WITH SET SCREWS which I was not expecting. I was prepared to buy new quality all metal knobs ( the stock Squier knobs have plastic inserts and are lighter) for $15 so the $42 I paid for the wiring harness turned out to be a real bargain. The Squier now sounds even better than before with a broader tonal range. Before with the old pots I found that my Treble EQ was set at around the 2:30 position on my amp to punch through and the tone knob on my bass fully cranked. Now with the new pots I've notched the amp back to the flat 12 oclock position and tone control on the Squier to about 85 %. The knobs turn smooth as butter!

11/8/19 I initially wasn't very fond of the Fender round wound strings that came stock with the bass so immediately replaced them. Today I put them back on and it turns out the strings were not the problem. After changing out the pickups and ditching the old pots and electronics the stock Fender strings now sound fantastic, so much so that I am going to order a few more sets! I think I like them even better than the Rotosound 66 and DR high beams I've been using which are more expensive and lose most of their tone after just a few weeks.

So now I have put an extra $367 into this bass doing all of the work myself which I never really intended to do, and for the total amount invested instead of a bass that says "Squier" on the head stock I could have had one that says "Fender", a Fender made in Mexico Player version that is. However this bass, the way it plays and sounds now would easily trump one of those, so I think I'll just ignore any snobbery I may get along the way for the "Squier" signature on the head stock and just have a silly grin on my face all the time knowing that I have a real sleeper on my hands for not a ton of money. Bottom line is I am very happy with mine but I had to basically gut the thing, put in quite a bit of time/work/do a great set up and spend more than twice the amount of money I had anticpated to get to that point. After each change I made I could hear a small but perceptable improvement in the sound of my bass, but combined all of the changes together made a huge difference in the sound of the bass. Some American made Precisions can run as much as $2,000 or even higher which takes away all buyers remorse one may have for the extra expenses. I'll put my $717 Squier up against any one of those any time. It just sounds phenomenal and is so effortless to play! If I hadn't done a thing to it other than do a really good set up and replace the one bad tuning key it still would have been a good purchase at $350, but that's just not me. Things that are not quite right really bother me and I wanted something special that anyone would be proud of but I didn't have $2,000 to put out for a premium Fender Precision so went this route. I hope this review was helpful, please mark below if it was. I really enjoyed doing this project but I'm also quite glad it's over with. I can finally just sit back and play the thing.

Produto de muita excelência! Acabamento, som, qualidade do material, tudo muito bom. Um instrumento para anos. Para quem almeja um Fender, esse é o instrumento para ter até alcançar o sonho.

Bass was filthy and set-up out of the box was terrible. Not even close to Fender specs with way too much relief and high action. After working with it for a few weeks adjusting truss ride, string height and pickups I have a very playable, inexpensive travel bass. Very impressive for the money. If you are a beginner take it in to a shop and get it setup and you will be very happy.

I tried it out jamming with my band now about 6 or 7 times now and it works and sounds great.And yes, I do own 14 other different basses. I didnt have to do anything to it right out of the box it came in..It was setup very nicely.
