Fender Squier Affinity Junior Strat HSS Laurel Ice Blue Metallic 378180583

Hace un par de horas me llegó este Squier lo estuve probando con una interfaz y suena como un bajo de gama alta, las pastillas que trae son muy buenas resaltando graves y un toque de agudos brillantes, lo compare con un Ibanez sr300 (Activo) y es mucha la diferencia en construcción y sonido, los materiales del Squier son un poco más finos y detallados que el Ibanez en cuanto a las pastillas, el Squier es pasivo pero no por eso menos potente su sonido es muy versátil, no satura el sonido y lo más importante no mete ruido de fondo como otros bajos del mismo precio, a la hora de tocar es muy cómodo. Les dejo unas fotos como referencia de estos dos

Arrived in perfect condition. Plays well sounds great. has very low noise even when using high gin distortion. very quiet. records Awesome. nice string on it. neck is straight. came with tools for tweaking. stays in tune. its all good. Cheers.

L'articolo è stato consegnato in anticipo,si differenzia da quello ordinato ,non ha la livrea scura dietro il manico,assemblato in prc,suono soddisfacente anche con un amplificatore di piccolo wattaggio,prezzo ottimo,uso questo basso per gli esercizi giornalieri ,non ho completato le cinque stelle perche' l' istruzione cartacea italiana è mancante , un ringraziamento a tutto lo staff AMAZON,particolarmente zona L'Aquila. Arrivederci .

suona benissimo. strumento intonato, setup "ready to play" già all'arrivo.. vale il prezzo e anzi forse varrebbe anche di più. occhio che essendo un PJ non è da fighette, pesa, magari non come un Rick. ma non è un basserello leggero e plasticoso. Roba per bassisti veri molto BEHS...

I am not going to use the phrase "for the price" throughout this review. Standing on it's own two legs as a legitimate musical instrument, this bass stands tall. If you're a beginner looking to get started or a seasoned veteran looking for a reliable backup, look no further. I noodled on bass in bands years ago and wanted to get back into it recently. I have a "Frankenstein" Jazz Bass that I was reconditioning and trying to make as playable as I could... the action was very high and irregular, so I built a clamp-style rig to straighten the neck, did some truss rod work, wired in new electronics (I bought it used and it was set up as a sizzling slap bass i.e. trebly, buzzy, noisy). It still needs new tuning machines, yada, yada. All in all, a lot of effort to play. Instead, I opted to look around and, as usual, I researched thoroughly. I pulled the trigger on this Squier and am SO happy that I did. Here's the breakdown... Out of the box, the setup was far better than I'd expected. The neck is perfectly straight. The strings are "centered" on the fretboard (equidistant left and right from the edges). The action was set low and consistent across all strings with zero fret buzz (FAR more playable than the Frankenstein I was wrestling). I made exactly two adjustments... the G string was a few cents sharp at the 12th fret. I adjusted the intonation (very slight tweak). The other 3 strings were right on the money up and down the fretboard. The other adjustment was for my own purposes. I raised the action on the E string slightly as I tend to be an animal on that particular string and I get a bit of clatter when head-banging. Sue me. :) Summary: One minor adjustment out of the box for a wonderfully playable instrument? Well done, Squier. Very well done. On to the best of it... tonality. My intent is to practice. A lot. Silently. I have tons of audio gear (DAW's, digital mixers, powered PA cabs, outboard processors, name it) but I sold my little Mesa Walkabout Scout bass combo in a pinch for cash months ago. I have no dedicated bass rig, but that's ok for now. No gigs on the horizon. I plugged the Squier directly into an audio interface (a MOTU Ultralite mk 3, if it matters) that I use for sound from my main PC. I used no EQ, compression, limiters, or effects at all and routed the output to headphones (old Sennheiser HD 280 pro @64 ohms again, fwiw). I was quickly and easily able to use the tone controls on the Squier to dial in a perfectly usable bass tone for practice purposes. I've always liked the Precision bass pickup (neck position) and the tone it excels at. The addition of the Jazz bass single coil at the bridge position (and why Squier calls this a "PJ") allows you to add a bit of attack and upper-mid frequencies if you feel the need. The tone control knob (closest to the bottom of the bass) works great to roll off some or all of the higher frequencies overall regardless of any combined use of the two pickups. In short, versatile and effective. Play around with it. It all works. Plugged into the audio interface, of course, allows me to mix and play along with all of the songs in my local music collection as well as any and all streaming services. Dial something up, dissect, and play along as you will. All in headphones. No noise complaints. No cops. Have at it. I am extremely happy with this purchase. I love the feel of the unfinished maple neck and fretboard. I'll close with an anecdote. I have a friend who is a piano teacher (with many students). I told her about my purchase of this new Squier bass before it arrived and she was happy that I was going to apply myself at getting back into playing. It arrived the next day and I did the above setup. I saw her the following day and tried to look crestfallen. I said, "Guess what happened with my new bass"? She picked up on my sad face. "Oh, no. What"? I said, "It made me practice for 3 hours yesterday". Big grin. THAT, peeps, is music to an instructor's ears. This bass will make you want to pick it up and play it and is WHY I left price out of this whole review. That part of the equation is priceless. Buy one and see for yourself. You'll find the fun. Hope this helps. Great job, Squier/Fender. Keep up the good work.
