Squier Affinity P Bass PJ LPB

First of all, I am guitarist and I have some very decent guitars in my collection so it may not be the most fair review. So starting with the bad: one of the volume controls on my first bass failed after a week. Thomann dealt with this amazingly well and I got a new bass fairly quickly. The other poor feature is that the bass requires a complete setup (the neck was completely off and needed truss rod adjustments as well as the intonation); something that could be frustrating if you are a beginner. Having done all the set up, I think the bass sounds really good and is really playable, so overall a really, really good instrument for the money. I highly recommend this.

Finally decided to take the plunge and buy a bass guitar. As a guitarist, it was recommended to buy one on the lower end of the cost scale - but not too low. Came across this bass on YouTube and my inner Phil Lynott fan wanted it immediately.

For a €250 guitar this is a fine piece of equipment. It looks great, and after some minor tweaks and adjustments it plays great too. A rather dynamic bass which can fit various styles. However, please don't expect it to feel the same as its €2500 AM P or J counterparts. It does feel it came straight from the conveyor belt at the factory, but who cares really?

Its worth every penny of the 254 that I paid for it. Great for learning licks and bashing around on and is really cool to look at!
