  • A great, unique guitar!
Color: Black Style: Guitars
Amazing and beautiful instrument! I remember going with friends to a shop back in the 90s and trying out an older Fender model, falling in love with it, and knowing that I would probably never be able to afford to own one. This is just as great as I remembered that one, and a fraction of the price! Such fun to play and experiment with what it's unique sound profile can do. Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to step slightly outside the box. ... show more

  • It plays like and feels like a Fender.
Color: 3-Color Sunburst Style: Guitars
It plays and feels like a Fender. I was blown away by the quality feel of the neck, action and tone. I’ve owned (and then returned) Squires in the past and they had basic quality in production issues. The frets were too wide, fret buzz up high, the switches either popping off or too easy to move; the slightest touch from a finger and I’d change pickups mid song. This might be one on a million. But it’s great. I’ve ownwed Telecaster Player series (Mexican Made) 4.2/5*… two of them….. I’ve owned Strats Professional Series ($1399) 2 of them. Another American made Strat with upgraded maple jumbo feet neck with 70’s headstock. American made… 5/5*. This in right up there 4.3/5*. The two Squire’s that ive had were between 1.5-2.5. This is certainly the gem. One thing…. It’s heavy. Why that surprised me I don’t know. But it did. Get a thick strap or just sit with it. I love the bass. Super fun to tinker ... show more

  • ALMOST Perfect!
Color: Black Style: Guitars
New 2022 model. I love everything about this instrument - with one exception (more later). I've never played a bass with single-coil pickups. As a result, it doesn't have the deep P-Bass tones, but it sounds so springy, defined, and precise. I've always avoided instruments with "extra" strings. This is different. This is a bass and a guitar at the same time. It's like every 6-string guitar that's ever been, but one full octave lower, making it an actual bass. It's the same 4 string bass as all the others, but adds the 2 "missing" strings on the high end of a guitar. It has 3 single-coil pickups that can be switched into any configuration you can dream up. It has a cool bass-cut option that's fun to experiment with, and a whammy bar (on a bass!). I love that you can play full guitar chords on it. If fact, almost anything you can do on a guitar you can do here too, with a lot of pressure! It would be perfect, BUT... the intonation problem is real. The bridge, in my opinion, is not aligned to the instrument properly. It was installed straight across, perpendicular to the strings, when it should have been angled slightly, providing a slightly longer scale length on the low side. This would allow for proper intonation of both the low-E and the A strings (especially with lighter, lower-gauge strings). My solution was to order a wider aftermarket bridge ($100+, but easy enough that ANYONE can do it) designed specifically to fix this issue by allowing more room for adjusting the saddles. It's a perfect fix, but it's also a significant (and expensive) modification to have to do to a new instrument. It's great now, but it should have been this good out of the box. ... show more

  • Wow!
Color: Black Style: Guitars
I have a P bass, a Mustang Shortscale, and a IVY "viola" bass (good). Trying to find something that inspires play. I ordered this one in black. Despite scary holes in box, it came in very good condition. No sharp frets, and few high frets. Nut was close. I swapped to La Bella VI flats. Intoneates on the low E. The combo of super-smooth strings and 6 strings....it's really something. I'm still dialing down the action to as low as possible, but it's already crazy fun compared to my other basses, which also have good strings. The 6 strings let you run lines which seem out of the question. It makes many tones. I thought cowboy chords would be meh.....oh no. They sound quite fresh, and even up there....no stretch for normal hands. It would be the last bass I sell....or that's my thinking right now anyway ;) ... show more

  • Enjoying This Very Much
Color: 3-Color Sunburst Style: Guitars
Out of the box, please get the .100 strings by Fender (if you want rounds) or the 95's from La Bella (if you want flats). I mounted the Fender set and the guitar intonates perfectly. The strings this is delivered with are .084's and the low E will wiggle too much for its own good. This guitar features much larger strings than a standard six-string guitar (as you know) but it still sports regular vintage Fender tuning machines. This is acceptable, but you'll find the tuner thumbscrews are a little small for the force needed and they're very close to each other. Fat fingered players take note. The vintage tuners are stressed with the larger strings. Mine broke a gear almost immediately when I put the new strings on. Click - slack - click - slack - broken. I contacted Fender and all they wanted was my receipt and they sent me a whole new set of tuning machines (very generous!), but I also had purchased some Gotoh tuners which I'll try soon. BTW if you have a broken gear, try what I did - get a slotted head screwdriver and put it in the groove and turn the tuning peg while turning the thumbscrew and you can get past the broken gears and continue - as long as the "in tune" position has intact gears you should be okay; it will tune to pitch and stay that way. All this for a brand new instrument? Is it worth the trouble? Oh yea. This guitar is a real pleasure. She's a stallion in a barn full of regular, boring old guitar donkeys. If you're a guitar player looking to lay down some bass lines, look no further. You now have a new hobby! What fun it is to get grooving on those low strings! When set up well, this guitar is a blast to play! ... show more
