Well, As I said, my question was can I ask for a better finish from Squier quality/price range. Some of you are telling me there are no problems what so ever, except that you would never have a Fender with such poor finish. Question was: is this an escpecialy bad one ? GRRG63, you seem to have...

Hello, I just bought a special at Thomann. Being the first time I buy Squier (I own a P and J made in USA) I'm a bit disapointed on the finishing of the instrument. Mainly the paint job. Am I asking too much or do the pictures tell you I have an particularly bad one, in your opinion ? Thanks for...

Thank you Jad, I'm buying next week a second hand American Standard Precision. I'll try to use it in D and my Jazz will stay in E. We'll see how it goes. Anyhow, I'll probably change the bridge for some Babicz. Have good weekend. Souheil

Hello, Would anyone have an opinion on the capacity of the Precision to handle D tuning. I own an American Jazz from 1996. Since I play it half in D, half in E tuning, I find it less capable of the D tuning. Espacially when changed every two songs. My idea is then to have a second fender to...

Thank you all. I'll change my settings. Lowering the strings as much as possible. In the mean time, I decided to change my bridge for a Babicz. That could help fine tuning. Cheers.

Okay okay, I'll go adjust my setup again. But at this stage, the only thing I can do is to lower the action and get back to 105. Because the problem I'm having is that the saddle can't get further back and the D is still to high at the octave. I'll report. Thanks

Do you mean that when seting up the saddle to make the strings tuned all the way to the octave I should not use the D ref when to adjust but the note B instead ?

Thank you all for the comments. What do you mean by low action ? The height of the strings ? Does it worth it then to play on a 110 string when changing from E to D in between songs ? I use 110-85-70-50 Thanks for the support. Souheil

Hello everyone, I need any advise on an issue I'm facing. I've been playing the bass since 20 years in powerful rock bands with my American Fender Jazz Bass tuned in E. I play it with the pick, saturation and attack the strings hard. My strings are 105-85-70-50 In a new band I'm in, I...
