If you haven't got a bass in your collection yet, the Squier 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass more than worth taking a punt on.

Squier 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass Gold Edition IL Ruby Red Metallic Electric Bass Guitar
Wrote the following about Squier 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass Gold Edition IL Ruby Red Metallic Electric Bass Guitar
Voor de prijs is het een erg lekker basje. Erg ligt en short scale vergeleken met mijn squier 70s precision.
Het geluid is erg lekker, vooral bij slap bas met de bridge pick up laag en de body pick up hoog.
Overal erg blij met dit soepele basje. Ik zou het aanraden aan beginners(als je het budget hebt), gitaristen die een bas willen uitproberen en mensen die gewoon een mooie muur deco willen, maar er nooit op gaan spelen.

Wrote the following about Squier 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass Gold Edition IL Ruby Red Metallic Electric Bass Guitar
Ik vind het een hele leuke bas, ook om te zien. Hoewel er goedkopere bassen zijn, vind ik Squier bassen in deze prijscategorie in het algemeen meestal wel netjes afgewerkt en prettig spelen en klinken. Dit jubileum model heeft net dat beetje extra qua uiterlijk wat hem echt uniek maakt.

Een chique bas voor het geld. Stijlvolle goudkleurige hardware, metalen slagplaat, witte block inlays op een donkere toets, fraaie witte binding en hij staat strak in een apart kleurtje metallic lak. De bas is naar mijn mening niet te zwaar of te licht, de stemmechanieken en potjes werken soepel en precies, geen scherpe fretjes of fret buzz en de bas heeft een prettige slanke Fender Jazz nek die volgens mij ook netjes recht staat. Uiterlijk en zo uit de doos niks op aan te merken, je mag ermee gezien worden.

De intonatie heb ik nog niet gecontroleerd. De sound vind ik redelijk tam/netjes en de output gemiddeld sterk. Het is naar mijn mening geen hard grommende/knorrende bas met een ruig randje. Misschien komt dat omdat ik de snaren meestal slechts vriendelijk beroer met mijn zachte kantoorklerk handjes. Ik vermoed echter dat de gekozen pickups een belangrijke rol spelen. Er is niets mis mee, maar ik kan een ietsje rauwer geluid ook wel waarderen.

Kort samengevat; chique basje met een keurig geluid.
