My first NBD (on Talk Bass)!

[SolarGranola]

Decided to spend a little bit of money to get a back up bass. I wanted to get a 4 string because the 5 string has been putting a strain on my wrists when I'm practicing. I didn't want to spend much, but I wanted something awesome.

Here it is :

The G and D strings don't seem to be in the middle of the pole pieces. But I don't mind.

I had to lower the string height to my liking and set the intonation, but now it plays really well. I was instantly comfortable with it. I guess I got lucky considering I ordered it online without trying it out.

I can dig it, man.

Looks good.

Which Squier sig is it?

 

[ZombieSpacebat]

I like it, clean and simple. I'm not a P-bass guy because I don't find them comfy to play, but they sure look good and sound good.

 

[VerryBerry]

I like it. It looks like a Classic Vibe 60s model, but I've only seen them in Fiesta Red. Can you confirm the model?
Thanks

The first pic isn't great, but it looks like there is a signature on the headstock.

Matt Freeman Signature Model

Looks killer Squire makes some great stuff these days! No biggie about the pole pieces not lining up.

 

[VerryBerry]

Yeah, had I just clicked over to Page 2 on the Fender website, I would have seen the Matt Freeman model available in Black or White.

Man, it does look appealing!

Looks great! Possibly my favorite pbass finish combo at the moment - wish I could justify another! Enjoy it and congrats - these Squiers are great and much loved here on TB. Welcome to a new NBD.

Nice. Squier doesn't get enough love. Decent basses at a nice price.

BTW the pole line up you mentioned looks like its just because the pickup for D and G is is offset a little to the left. Could be due to a bad cut on the pick guard. A new PG may fix that for you. Squier sometimes suffer from small QC issues like that. Honestly I don't think it should effect anything. I have a Dimarzio Model P on my Ibanez that doesn't line up, I think because its designed for P bass string spacing, but still sounds great.

Congrats on the new bass!

Very nice, mang. Looks clean & classy with the black & white.

 

[SolarGranola]

Thanks guys. I've been playing this thing all day. So gat-dang smooth. I believe it was strung up with D'Addarios at Sweetwater. So there was no need to change those.

I barely know who this Matt Freeman fella' is, but he sure knows how my bass should look and feel.

Looks great, congrats!

 

[bmb73]

Very nice, enjoy the bass!

Great score on the PBass. I did a video over on YouTube about how the Squiers just seem to get nailed with haterade more often than they should. They're giggable basses for sure.

Roland, what is the link to your vid on YouTube?
