Fender Jazz bass or Squier Affinity Precision?
So I am going to be learning to play bass guitar. The music I will probably play will be alternative, punk, and rock.
At my guitar center there is a used Fender Jazz bass for $330 and a Squier Affinity Precision for about $200. Which is a better choice?
And please don't recommend another brand or another bass.
Thank you!
I have actually played both in the past. Although the Squier bass is not a bad bass for a begginer, If you are able to, I would go with the Jazz bass.
Fender makes my absolute favorite bass, They are very versitile for differant styles of music. And the neck of the fender is a little smaller than the squier. This will help with your speed and versitility when you first start.
Fender Jazz bass' are made of a higher quality wood than the squier which gives them a better sound. Also the diferance between Fender pickups and squier is night and day, The design of the fender is 2 pickups that cover all 4 strings, the squier p-bass has 2 pickups stagered....one for every 2 strings. This makes it sound a little muffley sometimes.
I hope this helps, good luck. And don't forget to listen to plenty of "Rush" when learning. LOL, Geddy Lee is in my opinion the greatest bassist of all time and there is tons you can learn from him!
