Squier Basses - Pedals - Cables Q&A # 001
This is my first Bass and I feel after watching your video that I made an excellent choice. I did have a problem in. that the E string using the Fender Tuner App I could not tune the E string and I tightened it too much and the string broke. I ordered a new set of precision strings so that may work out to make it sound better from the start.
Ah yes, breaking bass strings. I remember this fondly. Don't worry, everyone does this a couple times when they are first starting out. I'm really glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I use a Zoom B1on as a headphone amp when I want to practice quietly. It sounds pretty god for the price and it has plenty of tonal options, but I ordered one of these to get rid of distractions and better portability. I like to play outside on our backyard and this gadget is just plug and play. I won't neet to carry the bass,the pedal,the cable and the headphones.
The Zoom B1 for Bass looks like a really cool piece of gear. I need to figure out how to get my hands on one so I can check it out and do a review. I'm glad the video was helpful. Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and comment!
I don't like it when amp manufacturers use that ploy of saying "Our amp is XXX watts" but they should say upfront "Our amp is xxx watts IF you add an extension speaker." That is one reason I just bought a used Rumble 100 which does NOT have a line out and has the full 100 watts. You mentioned that in your review and Ampeg is certainly not the only manufacturer who does that. In fact, the Rumble series is even worse in that the supposed power is listed in the model number. For example the Rumble 200 has 200 watts IF you add an extension speaker ...otherwise it is just 140 watts I think.
I agree. They do this kind of thing with a lot of audio gear. Peak watts vs RMS, SPL,... we really have to dig into the specs. I did like the Fender Rumble 100 we tested with the Squier 70s Jazz Basses we tested in that video. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment, it's greatly appreciated!
@@rockoutvideography91 Btw, I did a gig last night outside at a giant RV park and I used my Rumble 100 with a cable connecting it to my old (and heavier) Hartke Tiltback 10. Together they sounded great.
Good For You Flat Wound is Best for Great Bass Guitar Great Video
Thanks for the comment! Round wounds are still good for heavier music, but I love the sounds of flats on most of my band's original stuff.
Do I plug the recharge cable into the wall? The red light comes on when I do this?
Yes. You should see a red light come on when you plug the USB-C cable from the wall wort into the unit. It will change to green when it is finished charging. (I just charged one of mine last night before a jam with the kids) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I used it before and worked great, but the last time I tried it @ a gig I began to get some weird sounds I assumed because the power was running low.
@@rockoutvideography91 yep it finally changed green.
Mine sounds fairly clean at low gain, but I think it's too quiet to keep up with a couple of acoustic guitars. I'll be putting it through those paces soon but I suspect it will be very drowned out at a clean gain/volume at a campfire. With any serious gain, it breaks up into a very gnarly fuzz. It isn't just the cheap speaker crackling either -- the fuzz comes through in headphones and with the volume knob turned low. I think a lot of bassists might really dislike the fuzz and feel really disappointed with this amp. If I had paid any more than 25 bucks (used on Reverb), I might be bummed about it, but it's a fun sound if you've got an open mind to an extremely fuzzy bass. At full gain/full volume, I think it's probably loud enough ruin a nice folk sing along or turn it into a noise rock jam.
Thanks for watching and commenting. We only tested it against a single steel string acoustic guitar in our small studio. I'm not sure how it would do with multiple guitars outdoors. I'm looking forward to hearing from you how it worked. I did try it out in a park with a PJ Bass on a shorts video, but I was using a phaser pedal. It seems to be okay with other electric guitars using 10W amps, but that's a bit different than what you want to do.
Will it sound ok with a 5 strings in a room just for practice alone?
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I do not have a 5 string bass, so I don't know if their are issues with the amp pushing out a low B note, but otherwise it's a great amp for practicing in a room alone. Samuel currently has ours in his room and is using it to practice bass and guitar.
@@rockoutvideography91 thank you for the video and the answer. I asked because I live in an apartment and I have an amp in my living room. But I want to play in my room or other places and I hate play with headphones because there are so many cables... So I was looking for an acoustic bass guitar because I had one, but this amp is cheaper and smaller. If it can handle the 5th string in a room i will be happy.
Is it okay, if you want to practice with a drum or a guitar?
It is not loud enough to play with a real drumset. It will be loud enough to play with an acoustic or an electric with the amp turned down low. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've got one Never new it was y bass amp 😂 ive been thrashing my guitar through it has a big muff sound only complaint is no handle and batterys last ten hours
Thanks for commenting! Now I need to test ours out with a guitar and see how it sounds. I assume you have the gain up high to get the fuzz sound.
Thank you for showing how it sounds with other instruments, super helpful comparisons!
Thanks for watching and commenting! We are glad you found the video helpful.
I'm sure it's a nice amp .however, I wish ampeg would not use plastic inputs.
I had not even noticed the plastic inputs. Thanks for sharing that. The amp is at the practice house right now, so I couldn't look at it before responding. We appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Great video, exactly what I needed to make the decision.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I bought a black CY made one on a whim a few years back because I was bored with the guitar and didn't want to spend a huge amount on a bass. As noted, the quality control is reflected in the price. Mine had shielding issues which turned out to be a very poor solder on the J pot and a minor intonation issues, both easily sorted. The quality elsewhere was perfect. I'm still playing it. I 'want' a new bass, but I don't 'need' a new bass ;)
Thanks for watching and commenting. I think this may be the best "Low price quality bass" for someone starting out. Personal preferences and individual style are always conciderations, but it just gets the job done.
Can it be connected to a e-drum?
Sure. If the e kit is sending an instrument level signal, everything will work as normal. If the e kit is sending a line level signal, you will need to turn down the gain. The only issue may be the low volume output. However, with headphones, this amp may work well with an e kit.
Thanks a lot for this review! I started playing the ubass a couple of days ago and looking for an amp. Have you tried the yuer ba 10 portable bass amp, maybe, and if yes, how does it compare to this one? The speakers are a bit smaller, ftom what I read, but it does have a Bluetooth (plus works with batteries, too).
I'll check it out!
Genne Simons play this on "Sure Know Something" Unplugged
Yep! There were a few of these that showed up on MTV Unplugged back in the day. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've played a couple gigs with this and got a pretty great sound. Obviously there's better basses, but it's good enough.
I totally agree. I think it's a great deal for a bass this good. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Tim the only thing I need to know is when is that hair care routine vid gonna drop
Thanks for watching and commenting! I have been thinking of seeing if JHS Pedals or Fuzz Lord Effects might be interested in collaboration on some kind of hair care effects pedal for bass.
"Close to Jazz, close to P", but I was never satisfied with mine. Good vid.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've been playing since 1994. Spend as much as you can on name brand stuff to get started. 2 reasons. 1) It is easier to play a better instrument and it sounds closer to the sound you are wanting to hear. Your instrument must stay in tune to sound good, no compromise. Cheap guitars that don't stay in tune will have you smashing them, but not looking cool while doing it . 2) You can sell name brand more easily if you decide to not play. -At a reputable guitar store, they won't rip you off too badly, they have their reputation to think about. The values are redily available on the web anyhow. -Definitely get a cable that will last, there is nothing more annoying than your cable cutting out and it has happened on every singe "regular" cable I have ever played with except for the expensive ones I got recently. It starts to buzz and make popping sounds if ypu drop it once. -a tuner is important and it is called tuning "up" for a reason. Tuning down leaves slack in the string, turning the tuning head so the pitch goes up tightens the tension and it will stay tuned.
Sorry I forgot. Elixers and other coated strings last a lot longer and are generally brighter (more high pitched crisp sounds) sounding to start. Size 9 strings on electric and maybe 11s on an acoustic for starters. Light strings are easier on your fingers.
Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective. I agree with everything you said and this is all great info for the viewers. The only thing I would add is that in the part of town I live, there are a lot of parents who simply can't afford even a Squier Affinty, and for them, I would rather see them buy their kid a Glarry, rather than never get a chance to experience the teenage garage band thing at all. I was lucky to get my hands on a really crappy cheap bass when I was in high-school. Thanks again for watching and contributing, it's much appreciated!
I have the same amp. We are planning to use it in a gig this month in a small club. Would it be enough to use the amp alone? I mean without connecting it to PA or boom mic to mixer?
It should be fine in a small club. Mine is loud enough at practice in an approximately 16 foot by 20 foot room, with Judd playing his full kit, 2 guitarists with Fender Twin amps and vocals. We only run vocals through the PA at practice. At gigs I use the XLR out to go to the PA, but I Don't think our sound guy has very much bass in the mix, in fact, I remember another sound guy NOT hooking it up to the PA and it was fine. Thanks so much for Watching and commenting, I hope I was able to help.
@@rockoutvideography91 Yes very much welcome.. I appreciate it. Thanks to your professional input and experience. I am now confident about using the amplifier for the gig. Cheers.
❤
Thanks!
That’s a squiere? that looks like it can play good
Yeah, all three Basses we tested were all pretty much the same. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice overview of these basses and their features and manufacture over time. Like you, I noticed how nice these looked about 15 years ago and after searching briefly, found the same Indonesian model in the natural finish and Designed By pups. Interestingly my fretboard markers were block inlays rather than painted on. I do recall reading some years in that line using the printed ones, like you mention. I kept it for 10 years as my all around bass and it did everything I needed it to very well - it could get warm P bass tones and all the growling and clarity of the J. I did eventually sell it this year because of the weight. Mine was nearly 13 lbs. I think the body may have been ash. Not sure, but it had some nice flame figuring. Everything about it was well made and I never had problems with the electronics or anything, and I left it stock. Oh, and I picked mine up online from a pawn show out of state and it was just $200. I sold it for a little more than that 10 years later!
That's a great story, thanks for sharing. One thing I forgot about is the 70s Jazz I saw new at GC years ago with an ISS? Serial number, I think made by Samick. Do you remember the serial number on yours? I wonder if Samick made block inlays? Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks 👍
Anytime
Wow! Very nice
Thanks Tony! It's great to hear from you again!
Very nice bass
Thanks for the watch and comment JW!
Sounds great. I recently bought one and I really like it. I don’t think it has the Duncan design pickups , but has a Badass II bridge.
Thanks for watching and commenting! If the pickups are Duncan Designed, they should have it printed on them. I forgot to mention I also remember seeing one in Guitar Center years ago with an ISS serial number made by Samick, I think. You can figure out when and where yours was made by looking at the serial number. I find the "Squier Wiki" site to be really helpful. Apparently the pickups have changed a few times over the years.
As much as I don't play anymore due to life and family, I am getting this for my practice area. When I do have the chance to play I don't want to be messing with cables and wrapping them all up when I'm done. Spark Amp sits on the shelf, this plugs into the amp & bass and should make for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I basically feel the same way. I'm using the cheap wireless we recently reviewed for home practice, and a new one haven't reviewed yet for band practice. Sadly, the Joyo died a few months ago. Thanks for watching and commenting!
5:59 I have bought many of the same type construction of used import snare stands and now I will usually sort of rebuild them ..on some i took some of those smaller round furniture mover pads things and cut the pad out just enough to fit the snare stand original rubber foot and hot glued all the feet into it..adds great stability and reduced the imbalance wobble and it really doesn't scoot too much.. experiment with smaller furniture pads and stuff for the cheaper built snare stands, also I've had the plastic neck liners split and strip out and I've upgraded that with metal hardware and honestly now it's as strong as my studio gear..Drum On.
Thanks for that information! That's exactly the kind of helpful advice we are looking for!
very nice! I did something similar
Nice! How did you make your practice rig and what components did you use? Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@rockoutvideography91 my current setup is my pc in to the aux on my modeling Amp and sometimes I use headphones or output from the headphones out on the modeling Amp to my PA system. but my mobile setup is micro br80 with wireless and a rocktron velocity vg05 9 volt battery powered guitar amp.
Cool, thanks for sharing that!
Small Fender Rumble 15 under coffee table in living room with Amazon music app on TV, and a discrete wall mount beside recliner. But mostly, play in my cave in basement with full gig setup... Family likes the rumbles when I play downstairs.
Cool! I watch TH-cam on my TV with the chomecast and play through the Joyo mini bass amp when I don't want to use headphones. Thanks for watching and sharing your practice rig!
For me it’s my Ampeg SCRDI that gets this all done and sounds awesome! Just patch my tuner or any other pedal in and good to go. Can use batteries or just plug it in. Aux in for the phone and headphones out using my Beyer Dynamics 770 80 ohm phones.
I didn't know about the Ampeg SCRDI, so I looked it up, thanks! It looks like a really cool and useful piece of gear, especially with the headphone output. I think it's probably a really good multi use tool for a lot of bass players out there that would be great for recording, practicing, and gigging. It definately looks like it may be the ultimate headphone amp. I have a SansAmp Bass Driver DI on my board that I really like, but it doesn't have a headphone output, plus 1 for Ampeg for sure! If I had known that my Amplug would fail shortly after I found it, I wouldn't have bought the cheap Joyo headphone amp, but it's working for now. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

review the katana-110
I had to look up the Katana 110, I had not seen one before. If I could find a way to get my hands on one, I would love to review it. It's a really interesting amp. A quick look makes me think it's trying to be like their guitar modeling amps, but for bass. At 60w continuous, it's probably loud enough to kep up with a drum kit and could bridge the gap between a practice amp and a gigging amp for small venues. My old Fender Rumble 30 fits into that slot with less power. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, comment, and leave a recomendation, much appreciated!
Ampeg🎯🇺🇸
yes
I’ve had the same drum stands for close to 20 years. if they work then great it kind of depends on how hard of a player you are and how supportive of the stands you need them to be. Great video!
Well said! Thanks for sharing that information. I'm sure it will be helpful to other drummers out there, especially beginners like me!
How does it sound?
It sounds great. You can see reviews on just about everything on our channel if you are interested. Thanks for watching and commenting!
For an external cab would you recommend another 15" or a 2 x 10"...?
I'm not sure it really matters all that much. I think I would go for a 4 x 10 though if I had to choose. I'm a fan of the way my 8 x 10 cab sounds. thanks for watching and commenting!

As beginners, we are having a lot of fun with it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
OK so how does thw amp really sound like without running through the PA.
Good question! It sounds great here in my room, at band practice, and at gigs. The sound at the very beginning of the episode is the sound of the amp in the room from a shotgun mic connected to the camera. I also mention at the beginning of the demo that at first it's just the sou d of the amp through that same mic about 6 feet away. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Great review. I enjoyed the chat on the way to the music store. The bass sounds really good.
