Daveox Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Does anyone have one of these or tried it? Apparently it’s a pine body? So I’m guessing it’s very light? a basic bass but I’ve seen some good reviews just wondering does anyone have any experience good or bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Lots and lots of info in the Bass Lounge, btw it's spelt 'Squier' if you need to do a search! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Mine weighs just over 8.5lbs. it may be basic, but it's a quality bit of kit. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Yup. Had two of these, and it wasn't funny in the least. Real bass players always trying my CV 50s P basses against my San Luis Obispo StingRays and Bongos and going: "WOW! I'm sooo impressed with those Squiers!", and me trying: "Hey man, I spent 3,000 quid on that lim.ed. Music Man", and they: "Yeah, but those Squiers!", and me: "Yeah, but..." 😐 IMHO: seriously secure buys, but not specifically lightweight - just average.

The neck a bit chunkier than other incarnations as far as I could tell, but not in a bad way. It was not light, 'though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current ones are pine but previously I think they were basswood or alder. I don't know if pine is less dense than alder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I had a beautiful butterscotch one, light as anything. I just picked up a white blonde one. Lovely neck but much heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
