The PJ pickup mixture offers a ton of tonal choices with a devoted quantity management for every pickup, and a grasp tone knob rounding out the decide guard. Whereas tonal choices are a loads, most individuals will nonetheless discover that the Squier pickups nonetheless lack a few of the dimension and warmness of their Fender counterparts.

Playability: 6
Whereas the neck and fingerboard are pretty tough and poorly completed, the tuning stability is excellent. Basses normally maintain tune higher anyway because of thicker strings, and fewer of the bending and stretching usually carried out on guitars. Even so, I’ve not often needed to tune this bass up at all around the previous few months, it’s undoubtedly a set it and neglect it instrument. The Indian Laurel fingerboard seems to be nice, and performs higher after some breaking in, however usually might use some ending oil because it feels uncooked and tough. The frets are equally not sharp, however a bit on the rougher facet and will use a sanding.
End & Building: 6
The Olympic White end with black decide guard is actually an eye fixed catcher and mine got here flawless out of the field. Regardless of solely lately getting a gig bag for, it has additionally been very scratch and chip resistant.

Total, this guitar compares favorably to the Eastwood Airline Jetsons JR bass I beforehand reviewed, however is available in at a fraction of the worth. It’s nothing particular or loopy, nevertheless it’s a terrific bass for an reasonably priced value and would make a terrific newbie instrument or mod undertaking.
