I've been playing bass for about 6 years. I've always wanted a Rickenbacker 4001 Bass. Well, I have come to the terms that it is A LOT of MOOLAH! So when I was browsing, I came across this AMAZING Squire Jazz Bass. The neck, the sound, the tone and the greatness of this bass makes me forget about everything. When my band practices, I bring the jazz bass. They all were astonished by the sound, and we made better tracks than before. Before I had a Silvertone Bass, which sucked (I’m sorry to say), and it broke. So I bought this one, and (ha ha) I’m in LOVE. It almost sounds like Roger Waters playing Money or Chris Squire playing Roundabout. Anyways, this bass has packed a punch in my music, and I hope you say the same thing. Every bass has its own unique quality. This one is that its tone is great, its tremble is awesome, and the neck is as smooth as Paul McCartnery’s bass playing in Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. That’s my review. Hope you like it just as much as I like the bass!

Ok this is the second jbass I have played I use my schools 76 fender jazz bass and then my squire affinity jazz bass. I have put the fender bass away to play mine because the pickups on the fender just don't sound as well as my squire in all aspects the squire bass is a very good investment I would buy it again any day...

Hometown Hudson, OH USA,
I have been playing bass for 2 years and have played many different basses, including mine, friends, and other bassist's; and all sorts of brands including Fender J-basses that this bass is modeled after. This bass performs as well as its predecessors that can cost 2 to 3 times more. This bass is also relatively easy to upgrade, not that you'd really need to. The dual J pickups let you go from very clean almost acoustic sound, to thumping out walking bass lines for jazz, and even plays well when your hammering out metal lines. It outplays and outlasts any other bass of a comparable price.

This isn't some cheese knock-off, it's just as good as a Fender. When I bought mine I also tried out the $500-$600 fender models and the affinity sounded just as good. Also the metallic blue finish looked ten times better then any of the other basses in the store. It's also very versatile, you can play any style of music on it (funk, blues, rock, punk, you names it), And you're never gonna beat the price. I recommend it for anyone no matter what age or skill level.

Hometown Florida Keys
The neck: No dead spots, no buzz and straight. Nut: of good Quality
Machines: keep it in tune very well.
Paint: excellent
pickup: Low end is sick(awesome)
Bridge: Fender not unless you want to pay 700 or more for a Fender of Amer. quality, and Moderate weight not heavy or lite.
Overall I have no shame in my Squire, I have played LTD's, Ibanez even Traben, and dollar for dollar the playability of the Squire is top shelf, I LOVE the feel of the neck the best.
