General

Celebrating forty years since the birth of an icon, this very special 40th Anniversary edition of the Precision Bass comes decked out with vintage flair and bears satisfying, old-school tone - all for a Squier-style price. Both beginner and budget friendly, the body of this timeless classic comes dipped in satin-gloss, the neck has been given a vintage-tint, and the period-correct look is fully backed up by the sound of a Fender Designed Alnico Split Single-Coil pickup and a set of classic tone and volume control pots. Polished off by a four-saddle Vintage-Style bridge, a set of Vintage-Style open-gear machine heads, and a C-profile bolt-on maple neck complete with engraved 40th Anniversary neck plate, every inch of this Squier Vintage Edition bass pays homage to the original Fender stomper.

Wrote the following about Squier 40th Anniversary Precision Bass Vintage Edition Satin Dakota Red Electric Bass Guitar
Excellente basse que ce soit d'un point de vue lutherie ou électronique. Le manche satiné est très agréable au toucher et ne colle pas. la finition avec sa plaque anodisée est aussi très belle. Je pensais changer le micro pour un Fender mais en fait ce n'est pas la peine le micro d'origine se suffit à lui même. Excellent produit et en plus moins cher que chez des concurrents étrangers

De Vintage 4oth Anniversary modellen hebben me positief verrast. Hoewel ik de aantrekkingskracht van de normale 40th Anniversary bassen niet kan ontkennen, heeft deze Vintage lijn absoluut haar eigen charme.

De 40th Anniversary serie is een zeer fraaie serie basgitaren van Squier. Ze zien er mooi uit, voelen goed aan, spelen fijn en klinken ook goed. Deze Vintage uitvoering geeft daadwerkelijk weer een ander gevoel dan de wat luxer uitziende 'standaard' 40th Anniversary exemplaren. De laatstgenoemden hebben de opvallende fraaie block inlay, witte binding, goudkleurige hardware en hoogglanslak.

De subtiel verweerde hardware van de Vintage uitvoering geeft in combinatie met de getinte nek en relatief dun opgezette, hier en daar wat ruw aanvoelende zijdeglans lak echt het gevoel van een wat ouder instrument. Ik kan me voorstellen dat deze gitaar ook alleen maar mooier wordt naarmate hij gebruikt wordt.

Dakota red is niet een kleur waar ik normaal gesproken meteen voor ga, maar potverdrie, in het echt is het wel een fraaie kleur voor deze bas hoor. Je kan er prima mee voor de dag komen vind ik. Ik ben wel erg benieuwd naar hoe een zwarte aluminium slagplaat hem staat.

De bespeelbaarheid was meteen uit de doos goed. Ik heb de snaren een half slagje laten zakken, dat is alles. Zelfs de intonatie was in orde. De doos was open, dus misschien heeft Fender of Bax de gitaar in Nederland nog even een snelle setup gegeven. De nek is super comfortabel en glad, de stemsleutels werken prima en de bas ronkt zoals een Precision dat hoort te doen. Er zijn vast mensen die de elementen meteen vervangen, maar geef ze een kans. Deze bas klinkt zoals hij is echt lekker.

Een harstikke mooie bas, ik kan niet anders zeggen.

Zeer mooie, prettig spelende basgitaar. Voor deze prijs krijg je behoorlijk veel instrument voor je geld. De afwerking van mijn exemplaar is perfect en direct uit de doos is de bas mede door de lage actie heel fijn bespeelbaar. De kans is heel groot dat mijn volgende gitaar ook een Squier wordt, door de ervaring met deze basgitaar.
