In theory, that would make it better, but im not going to put new everything on it, just to spend hundreds of dollars on a bass that doesnt feel good to me, Im just asking for advice on a new bass.

I have played with an amp, later down i just said i dont play often with an amp.

Alright yall, i guess ill learn to setup my bass, geez. I was really looking for thoughts on squier, but i guess this works too. Guess this is my first and last post on this site lol

Haha, its an 80 dollar bass, came extremely dirty, and i want a 5 string. Im getting a new bass

This is the one ive been trying to look at too, hopefully i can learn.

I know, its just alot of measurement and risk of turning the truss rod too far, but i should probably learn. I guess i can practice on this crappy bass haha.

Yeah, had my eye on a marcus miller sire and am DEFINITELY staying away from affinity. Btw, the 15 extra is going from 45 (Normal guitar) to 55 (Normal bass) to 60 (extra string)

Haha, good ad for the Squier. Yeah, ive noticed I do dig in a bit on both hands playing without an amp(playing dry?) And sometimes i got out of tune without even hearing. I think ill get a headphone amp.

Yep! Im looking at an Indonesian made one.

Also, if anybody is this far down in the thread, is playing without an amp bad for the bass? When i practice at home I play without an amp, and ive been thinking about getting the vox bass headphone amp instead, and then using my usual bass amp when i need to. Will the headphone amp still sound...

Yes! My guitar is an affinity, i should have specified. Ive always thought of Squier as Fender for beginners, but i guess its really affinity that holds that title.

Yeah, as far as the setup goes, never, lol. Too much stuff for me to buy and the place I went to to get my regular guitar adjusted was AMAZING. 45 to fully adjust, and after checking just now, its 60 for a 5 string. Im usually hands on and fix literally everything myself but i cant pass that up.

So ive been looking for a second bass for awhile and the Squier CV 70's Jazz bass V5 has shown up basically everywhere. The reason im skeptical is because I own a Squier guitar (Not bass), which was 120$ used and, is garbage. It worked when i was a beginner, but its definetly not great. Moving...
