At an amazingly affordable price, the Squier Affinity Series Precision Bass PJ Black offers a wide range of classic rock sounds and first-class playing comfort. The alder body in traditional Preci design occupies a stable and comfortable playing position both on the strap and on the thigh, while the screwed maple neck lies comfortably in the hand thanks to the "Modern C" profile, so that on the Indian Laurel fretboard every note goes by itself. With the typical Squier Standard Split Coil in the mid-position and a Squier Standard Jazz Bass Single Coil on the bridge, the four-string also delivers versatile sounds between a wiry, mid-stressed penetration and a rich bass boost. The classic passive circuit with two volume controls and treble control allows you to call up a wide range of tones. Last but not least, the Squier Affinity Precision Bass PJ features the classic 4-saddle standard bridge and precise standard open-gear tuners.
Picked this up as I am getting back into playing again due to a request from some olde band acquaintances and it’s pretty decent, action is a little high so quite a bit of pressure on the fingers but can’t grumble and if I get to record and gig I can alway have it dropped a little 👍
The quality of this bass, for the price is superb. It is playable ‘out of the box’ but some attention to the finer set up of the instrument would be beneficial to suit the individual player. Tools to adjust the truss rod and bridge are included and there are plenty of videos on YouTube showing how to do this. This is a fine bass for a beginner or developing player and, properly set up, could hold its own as a main or second Instrument for a more accomplished bassist. With the classic P-Bass look and the added bonus of a J-bass bridge pickup, what’s not to like?
