Four-string electric bass with alder body, PJ pickup and passive switch
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.
The Squier Affnity Series Precision Bass PJ Black offers high playing comfort and versatile rock sounds at a surprisingly low price.

I am more than satisfied with this product. Easy to play and not heavy. The color is beautiful. You can get many different sounds out of it. I 100% recommend to anyone who does not want to spend too much money but still get a very decent bass!!

Absolutely superb. Don't be fooled by the price. You could pay 5x as much or more for a top notch bass and TBH it would be better than this one, but only a tiny bit better. Only a rabid enthusiast could tell the difference by ear!
BTW, the 4 star rating for appearance is because I was persuaded to get a white one when I really wanted the red version. Not really fair to mark it down for that, but hey - that's rock and roll!

I was looking for this bass for a while and I asked local shops and a lot of other online shops but all of which did not have it in race red. I got the bass very quickly in the post and very well wrapped, I was delighted when I took it out of the packaging and got to play it as it really is a beautiful all rounded bass. I would definitely recommend this product and Music Store as everything was flawless.

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 👍
I bought this bass as something cheap to customise and an alternative to my £1800 Gibson T-bird. However the Squier has really impressed me, I was planning on upgrading the pickups, but while practicing at home I really love the sound of the Squier pickups so they are staying. The build quality seems very decent too. The chrome is all very good quality but I'm not a fan of chrome so have replaced the bridge, tuners, control knobs, pickguard screws, jack socket, string tensioner and strap holders with black replacements, which I prefer the look of now. Can't stop playing this bass, it's awesome!
