I played these basses an I'm not lying these bass right here sound amazing. I couldn't believe it how they sound. They really did a good job with these basses.
I bought the Ruby Red JB maybe a month ago. Until then, I had played a frettless Fender JB for, I don't know, seven years? Anyway, the quality of the instrument feels better than the low-end Fender basses. The electronics feel way better than what you'd usually find on Squier instruments and the fret ends feel better than those on my Fender Classic Series 50s Telecaster. It's a very versatile instrument and also feels very durable. I was torn between this and the Sire bass guitars for months and I think I really made the right choice. I think the most surprising part was that the instrument felt perfect straight out of box. I wasn't expecting that, because... well, it's a Squier and I know the shop where I bought it from doesn't do setups. I usually have to adjust the truss rod a tiny bit and check the intonation too, but this one had no such problems. However, I must say one thing: Since it indeed still is a Squier and not a handmade high-end instrument, don't expect things to be 100% flawless. The binding around the fretboard does have some tiny ugly parts, but it's not a museum piece for me. I play every day and pay way more attention to the feel and sound of the instrument than the tiny things. With this instrument, I get the right feel and sound AND a very beautiful finish. If you're a player instead of someone that just likes staring at your instruments and showing them to people, you really can't go wrong with these.
@@fullhd6598 yo tengo los dos. Y la verdad estoy bien agusto con el squier Que con mi otro fender. Tiene buen sonido y el color esta chido. Yo les cambie las pastillas por unas fender original y quedo perron. Saludos.
First it's Squier. Nothing to do with Chris Squire. A 40's???? Electric basses were even not invented in the 40's! You have to use a double bass before the 50's. Going back to school won't hurt you... The gold ones are very good looking. But... Because there is a big but! I searched everywhere to see if we can purchase a golden bridge or tuners looking like Squier-Fender ones. That don't exist! Like a good cop in USA! What if you drop the bass on the floor and you break a tuner??? What if the tuner is broken by itself one year later? What if you want to upgrade but still have the Squier-Fender look with the tuners or the bridge?? Nothing goldie on Fender site on the parts department... Big but... So i went to a Vintage one! A zillion chrome tuners looking like Squier or Fender everywhere!!!! So your doomed mister... Bad thinking...
Super cool video guys. I love these Squier gold edition basses and your bass playing. The only hard part is which colour to buy and either a Jazz or Precision.
I think these are the best basses Squier has produced along with the Rascal, if I had to have a fretted Jazz Bass again, this Ruby Red one is literally it for me, was the best to wait for and no regret in buying it
I have that p bass in lake placid blue with gold hardware. It's such an awesome bass. I use to gig And practice. I switched out the pickups for some fender original ones with cream/vintage colored pickup covers. Looks badass 👌🏼 great tone. For bigger gigs i use my fender pro 2. 😃
I own the 40th Anniversary Seafoam Green Jazz Bass and the 40th Anniversary Dakota Red P Bass. I really want the LPB pbass and that reuby red jazz. They sound soooooo good.
I just ordered this in white after recently picking up the surf green 70's vibe precision bass which is amazing in itself. Squire is seriously packing some great goodies into these limited editions and anniversary models!
Inhave the jazz version in white. This makes me want to add the precision to my wall! I dont want to make it more difficult to figure out what to play on my little gigs lol
Need the vintage edition p bass! Dakota red or fiesta red i can't remember but looks cool satin. I love 50s instruments so the vintage edition ones are what i want to see
"Forget Me Nots" is a 1982 song co-written and performed by American R&B musician Patrice Rushen. It appears on her seventh album, Straight from the Heart. Making a radical shift in her music, Rushen would continue to harness the particular style of this record all through to her next album Now, released in 1984. The bassline is particularly recognizable, and was performed on the record by session bass player Freddie Washington. The tenor saxophone solo was played by Los Angeles session player and recording artist Gerald Albright, who also appears in the music video of the song. The lyrics are from the point of view of one professing her longing for a rekindling with an ex-lover. In one part of the music video, the girlfriend of the ex turns her attention to another man. As the singer reunites with the ex, they vacate the premises, leaving the now-ex-girlfriend forlorn. She ruminates on the romance's end and sends the lover forget-me-nots, a flower that since medieval times has been given and worn to symbolize enduring love despite absence or separation.
Nathan and Lee’s outstanding opener. You’re both superb, someday we’ll get bass x3 and Julia Hofer wil join you….then I can watch my superlative TH-cam bassists together ✌🏻
Call me old-school, but I can't help but love the looks of a Jazz or Precision bass with binding and block inlays. Visually I don't think the white paintwork goes well with the hardware and scratchplate though. Darker colours would look much better to me with the gold effect, something like a darker red (burgandy maybe) or black would be a better combination.
Im trying to get a first bass and Im at the point where I just want a really good bass that wont break the bank. I have years of guitar experience. My wife wants to learn bass. I saw the ruby red 40th bass in my local shop and it was perfect for me. I love it. I havent bought it yet. Im probably going to, but can anybody recommend a good amp to go with it that wont be more than $300? Thanks.
I really want one... But had loads of problems ordering stuff from Andertons online recently. New website seems to not work. Can't log into my account. Tried buying stuff as a 'guest' but payments not going through/or no confirmation emails. Unfortunately have had to order from elsewhere recently. Hopefully they will sort it out.
What amp is the amped being used? I tried looking for one that has that silver top and can’t find it? Guitarist here looking into bass gear. He used just the di right? Sounded pretty good..
Cool but you can get a new player series fender for about 25% more money. Or a used player / MIM for less than this. Little pricey for a squier product for me

My p bass arrived this morning. The blue one. I was a bit worried, buying a squier without testing in Shop for 500 e /600 dollars I wasn t sure. I have no job because of my health...I needed an alternative. As a jazz bass guy for two decades, I already added a Sire at my fender Ones...but for p bass,Im sorry, but Sire doesn't make it...so I would try squier.have been already upset years ago,I have to admit they really improved,finish,quality,sound...and the set up is minimal...no need to go see a guitar tech or a luthier. With my little knowledge it took me 5 min to change strings,adjust action,trus Rod was good.Im very happy and would rate it 8/10 quality/price, Maybe 9. Sire would be 9 for jb ...nothing to say just that the landscape is evolving and now the olds prejudices are no more accurate...mexican fenders are pretty good...it Will neveu ne thé custom Shop,but in the 80's even a big price instrument could be the wrong one....not saying this is perfect or not expensive enough,just saying Im glad and would gig and record with it no problem
I wish Squier would have come up with a different kind of approach for their 40th anniversary models. I mean, they just threw some vintage colors and inlays, « gold » stuff all over the place but no string through body bridge, no roasted maple neck, no paranormal stuff…. Not even a single fretless model (let’s say a 34inch jaguar base model with firemist gold and some creamy white stripes on it)… but NOTHING. They are just using some high end custom models colors from Fender while asking 600€ for it o_O’ Jeeezzz, those people have no imagination and they really had quite a long Covid time to think about it… It’s a pass for me.

And plays lovely. I assure you

I added the Ruby Red Jazz to my collection... and its a beautiful looking and sounding instrument.
Love it...!
That said.... my 2000 Squier Affinity P bass is still my go-to gigging bass.🥴
amigo este bajo puede ser mejor o igual que un Player Series? estoy pensando en comprarmelo en vez de la edicion mexicana player

@@easyabc1404 40s very clearly referring to the 40th anniversary, in the title of the video...
Absolutely love these videos,great chemistry,great playing,informative,humour,yeah what’s not to like👏👏👏❤️
Man, I love watching these videos! I feel like I need that black and gold P!
That bass intro is soooooo good… two basses who are so intertwined…
14:43 P bass pickups are wired in series, I believe jazz are in parallel, so that makes P basses much beefier.
Lee is a flawless bass player 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m not a bassist but I’d buy the white bass just to hang on my wall it’s that’s nice
I have a 20th anniversary Squier P-bass, 2002 made in Indonesia. Lovely instrument.
Who woulda thought that "Don't Stop Now" would be the perfect demo song for these bad boys? Fantastic intro!

That Ampeg amp is spectacular 😎
I loved It Bites, watching Frankie shred on his Squier was amazing. Nathan didn't mention he played with the band in their latter days.
Got some John Taylor Duran Duran vibes going at the beginning there. Squier is really stepping it up these days. Love the basses.
Both basses look awesome! And sound as good as they look. Just added to my wish list.
These look and sound so good. That ruby red!
I still think this is my favorite squier bass of all time. The lake placid blue one and the burgundy jazz base is the one I have
Nate & Lee laying down the bass vibes, yeah.
I'm learning I'm a sucker for anodised gold pickguards on white basses and guitars. 😍
That Olympic White is nuts!!!

I wish they had done a 5 string jazz 40th in Olympic White

That intro was wickeeeeeed!!! 😀 And that black P... Dang!!!
I own the 40th Anniversary Seafoam Green Jazz Bass and the 40th Anniversary Dakota Red P Bass. I really want the LPB pbass and that reuby red jazz. They sound soooooo good.
I just got 2 Classic Vibe 50`s and 60`s p-basses and I love them. I would like one of the new ones with the neck biding too!
I just ordered this in white after recently picking up the surf green 70's vibe precision bass which is amazing in itself. Squire is seriously packing some great goodies into these limited editions and anniversary models!
Could I ask how much uuu ordered :)
Buy one! I just bought the blonde p anniversary addition. One of the best p bass I have ever played.
Inhave the jazz version in white. This makes me want to add the precision to my wall! I dont want to make it more difficult to figure out what to play on my little gigs lol
Need the vintage edition p bass! Dakota red or fiesta red i can't remember but looks cool satin. I love 50s instruments so the vintage edition ones are what i want to see
It Bites is such a great band. And with John Mitchell (Frost*, Kino, et al). Wish they’d do a new album!
It Bites WITHOUT Francis Dunnery is nothing! Saw them opening for Jethro Tull on october 1989 in Montreal. Tells my age... and experience! 60...

Well this sent me off on a tangent. Learning that bass line now.
And it was notably sampled by Will Smith for "Men In Black."
The Jazz bass is sweet but I lack a nice P bass with flat wounds to round out the collection.
I normally kick out the jams and go straight to the chit chat, but I liked this one A LOT!
Everything always sounds killer in their hands.
For me, Clive, the Katana was the clear winner on this one, but this is still the best show on Anderton TV. (With the new Sound Like a close second)
Lol it bites... Are you calling all the heroes..!!!! Another cracking review from you guys. thx
that was one of the best intro jams
Can anyone tell me any Lee background? He is insanely amazing but I don't know anything about him!
Nathan and Lee’s outstanding opener. You’re both superb, someday we’ll get bass x3 and Julia Hofer wil join you….then I can watch my superlative TH-cam bassists together ✌🏻
Hello guys! Is it a good bass? I'm considering buying it.
Always good to see a man playing with another man's knobs .
Great playing all around

Great episode guys love it!!! 👍🤗
There are some nice Fuji gen Squier basses on E bay at the moment.
These new 40 Aniversary Squiers have a comparable American Fender Quality at an afordable price of a MIM Player series.
Nyatoh is the same as nato which is a cheaper type of mahogany and is often used on acoustic guitars.
Hey guys, any thoughts on the "gold" hardware - will it fade over time? Anything I can do to keep it together?
Great video!!
What is the differences between Squier CV 60' and 40th models?

what do you do for a sticky neck? 10:00 didn't understand what he said...
He said you could use steel wool but it could void your warranty. I recommend carnauba wax on the back of the neck.
@@NoMoreMrNice I’ve been thinking of using steel wool. Im honestly not picky with my stuff. Carnauba wax sounds interesting.

Ok, so I do sh*t up!😁
Got one PBlue and one PRed, great PBasses tha I love !💕💕
Im considering getting one. But I cant decide whether I should get the 40th anni p bass or the cv 50s p bass. Any thought on this?😢
Yes squier is a old company that made strings for fender in the 50s and 60s
are the pickups different than a regular squier bass?
What amp is the amped being used? I tried looking for one that has that silver top and can’t find it? Guitarist here looking into bass gear.
He used just the di right? Sounded pretty good..
This or a fender player series?
End jam. Yowsa!
seems like there is a lot of fret buzz with those

I really wish Fender/Squier would fix the size of the modern block inlays, they are oddly small compared to "correct" size.
"Back pickup, tone off", that's how I roll
They look nice but when I played the 40th vs the affinity jazz at Guitar Center there was no tone difference 🥲
Where is the "sour lemon" Nathan now?
is it just me or does the jazz bass sound a little driven?
Funny how fretless has gone right out of fashion
Lol the dua lipa intro
These are nice but to bad they are not made in limited numbers. They are everywhere right now so hardly an investment.
The Boss amp Lee is using kinda sucks in the mix. Very muddy and dull, no high tone bite at all.
I wish Squier would have come up with a different kind of approach for their 40th anniversary models.
I mean, they just threw some vintage colors and inlays, « gold » stuff all over the place but no string through body bridge, no roasted maple neck, no paranormal stuff….
Not even a single fretless model (let’s say a 34inch jaguar base model with firemist gold and some creamy white stripes on it)… but NOTHING.
They are just using some high end custom models colors from Fender while asking 600€ for it o_O’
