Two Different Pickup Options

Capturing the resonance and style of your performance are a pair of single-coil pickups, a Precision in the middle position and a Jazz in the bridge. Both of these bad boys are designed to soak in the warmth and full-bodied tone of each string. Every fret your fingers hit will read more achieve a crystal-clear articulation that just oozes from your amplifier. Utilize your independent volume controls to blend your pickups to your liking, and brighten or darken your signal with your master tone control.

Back in 1994, a close friend of mine picked up a Squier P-Bass. We were teenagers, it was a serviceable bass, but it had some build quality issues. It was a great starter bass. Fast forward to two weeks ago; I picked up one of these PJ basses for a new cover project I'm involved with. I needed something with some tone flexibility, that looked sharp, and didn't break the bank. I read all the reviews I could find, but I was a little skeptical considering my prior experience with Squier basses - fine for practice/beginner, but lacking for the working musician. Well, right out of the box this bass impressed: fit/finish was flawless, the setup was perfect, and the tone was exactly what I needed. It's not an American Standard, but it's not that far off (because off pickups, hardware, etc.). If you are a player and you are on a budget, just buy it. We're living in the golden age of well built, affordable music gear...and it isn't going to last forever.
