Can I go pro with a Squier Affinity P Bass?

Oh lordy lord, it's troll season.

I'm sure people take care of things they had to earn. So quickly turning knobs, switches, and bolts, are done recklessly by the inexperience. Some need to be confronted with a big era which prevents them from doing so again. After something gets broken, some people learn not to do it again, and some will not care and never learn. I have things used and returned into their original packing where others tare open the box and throw stuff away. I respect my things.

I could auction any of my equipment on Ebay, and sell them for new. This is how well I take care of my things. I really do not care what others do. I work for my things and respect them. If it takes me a week before I'm completely satisfied with an adjustment, that is my business. For those of you who break your things, that is your business. You can make any quick changes that your little heart desires. I was always the type of person that learned from others mistakes. I personally would not spend my money on cheep guitars. Others may feel differently, and with their money they can do as they please. I can not afford the luxury of being unsatisfied nor chance disappointment by using unprofessional equipment. This is why all of my equipment works well. I research, compare, and familiarize myself before making a purchase. This is a practice that has always worked well for me.

its not the bass.. its the player.. you can absolutely gig a squire on a pro gig...

Totally agree with you but some probably don't get it. I am fortunate enough to play Lakland 5s exclusively 2-3 nights a week in a pro rock cover outfit. I am also well versed at setting up my own basses... to me this is more important than any brand I play. If it were the case where i had to play a Squier, there wouldn't be any issue. I know that tone is in the fingers.

Darrenmt, You are absolute correct in saying tone is in the fingers. Most believe tone is in a little box placed in front of the player. So if one is good, more must be better, so they purchase an array of little boxes and spend the rest of their lives searching for tone that could have been achieved with their fingers. Very well put.

You keep replying as if you're high and mighty, better than everyone else with a sense of smug self-satisfaction. You refer to people turning knobs as breaking them, all while stating from up upon your high horse that you're the type that learns from your mistakes. And then you repeatedly spell "cheap" as "cheep". You are obviously not detail oriented at all, but rather a troll that thinks very highly of yourself.

I've found that editing my posts for spelling and grammar has always worked well for me.

No one is perfect. If you want to correct my spelling, please do. The fact that I pay attention to others is preventing me from making their mistakes. I can understand how some may feel I give off a superior signal for this is called jealousy. It is something I have noticed in grammar school. The world is full of people who are jealous. These are the same people whom have made more than their fare share of mistakes. I would rather be caustious when making important decisions. As for do I care what people think, that is entirely up to them. For example, the author of this post should use his
inexpencive bass and impress those who look down on him. The best revenge of all is showing people you do not care what they think. It doesn't effect your focus at all. So if playing a CHEAP guitar is their prerogative, than so be it.

That's enough. Closed for Mod review.
