I plan on getting a pair of the Squier 40th Anniversary basses, a P and a J. But with the price of the Affinity PJ I'm considering getting one for learning/practice, rather than put the wear on the Limited Edition basses. It's cheap enough to buy one, use it for a few years and then pass on to someone else to who wants to learn.

What do you think of this one? It stands out in the 40th series, and opinions on it are polarized.

I wasn't sure at first, but I kinda like it other than the satin finish. I'm going for a couple of the Gold models.

$340.00 for an AFFINITY bass? Man prices have gone crazy. Top-of-the-line VM Squiers from a couple of years ago were no more than that. Affinity basses must have upped their quality quite a bit if they are asking that much. Maybe they have. I have not seen any of the newer ones. The older ones I have worked on over the years have had cheap parts, cheap tuners, high frets, sharp fret ends. bland pickups, and often need a fret level at the time of purchase or after the neck wood settles for a year.

I have a 2022 Affinity PJ. It blows my mind that it is such a good bass for $300. So ya, they have increased in price a tad but the quality is fantastic these days.
