  • In Today's video I review and demo a Squier By Fender Affinity Bronco Bass guitar finished in glossy black.
    I will play the Squier Affinity Bronco Bass Pickup with a mixture of plectrum and finger picking.

    I got one back in 2019. Recently, I had a guitar tech at a music store replace the pickups with hot rails, making the bass sound much better. It sounds like studio quality. The bass is great to play and very comfortable.

      2022 Update: My Bronco Bass is now fretless. I had my bass converted as a fretless by a guitar tech at a local music store, despite the high costs in USDs. The bass is now one of the best I've own right now as I brought it to recent gigs. It's totally a unique work of art for a fretless.

    I've been thinking of getting a bass and this really fits the bill. ie. short scale and inexpensive. Looks cool too.

    Yeah, nice bass. Anything that has a Duo-Sonic/Mustang vibe is ace in my books. The Squier Vintage Modified SS Jag Bass short scale is a good axe too. Got one in silver for my eldest when he has twelve, still in use today, although he has a Jazz bass now as well.

    I used to have Fender Musicmaster Bass which was very similar to this! The single pickup was a little weak compared to precision PUPs and I didn't like the short scale. Funny though, I Iike shorter scale guitars. Apparently in the day it was a common mod to fit precision pickups.

    Squier makes some great basses! I love my Squier Affinity P/J bass. It's the best of both worlds. It only cost me about $230usd.

    I had this bass back in the early to mid 2000s. I remember is being very neck heavy (takes a dive when playing on a strap). No skunkstripe.
    It was good for playing Placebo baselines (the ones which used a bass VI).

    • @joelanderson_t
      @joelanderson_t 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Did you have the late 90s model? The earlier ones (1997-1998) were made without the skunk stripes in the back of the neck. All the rest of the models since 1999 are madewith the skunk stripes if I'm correct.

      @@joelanderson_t no skunk stripe.
      It was very cheap off eBay, and honestly wasn't very good sounding. I replaced the strat pickup with a double blade single coil sized humbucker, sounded better

      @@attentionaddicts I see. I still got my Bronco Bass I ordered back in September 2019. I was also not very satisfied with the humming noise due to the single-coil pickups. I instead got an well-made Korean hotrail pickup to replace the original one. I eventually had a local music store guitar tech do a beautiful fretless conversion earlier this year. The bass now sounds like studio quality for a now-fretless budget bass, despite of the time and money I spent for the projects. I'm trying to make some fretless bass cover videos with that bass whenever I get the chance.

    • @attentionaddicts
      @attentionaddicts 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Joel Anderson that sounds really good, would love to hear it!
      I installed the hotrails pickup myself - got my dad to do the soldering lol. After that it was very mid-heavy sound.
      I think I also had some issues with intonation so didn't use it for gigs (also had a Squier J bass). In the end I sold it again on eBay

      @@attentionaddicts Thanks for the reply. I will try at the very least to share how the fretless Bronco Bass will sound as I couldn't find how it sounds like before the conversion. I looked up for videos here on TH-cam and elsewhere. The problem is, I have a job, and some bills to pay. But I ain't giving up as I need to share it! Thanks again!

    I am a somewhat seasoned bass player who has developed poorer motor skills. Short-scale base has been a solution. (And short-scale basses actually sound fantastic!?).
    I already have a Danelectro longhorn which is great.
    But a bass with "classic" Fender sound is needed.
    I have very bad finances these days
    I'm such a music snob and would never buy this bass even if it sounds ok. (Although I really would like to).
    I'm a fool!

      Fender used the pickups as in the Mustang, Musicmaster and Bronco guitars.
