Functionless Art is Merely Tolerated Vandalism
Is your post serious?? Is this video serious??
This guy seriously needs another beating, because I imagine he has gotten a lot already.

I love the video , he really knows so much about fender and squier's I mean i have searched for that pokey tone and the fact that it is also punchy just makes me certain I am going to jump on board.Plus squiers are now confirmed lighter then fenders.
Move over Ed , this is the new bass whisper.
Still think I am serious?

Well he is right, squiers are much lighter. My squier VM jazz is very light.... probably because it's made of pressed mdf instead of real wood...
I normally am open to opinions from people with real world experiences... that 'review' had as much going for it as a corporate ad.

Here's my play by play
0:00 - Oh great, Best Buy music, this should be good.
0:05 - OH GOD KILL IT WITH FIRE! He looks like a transvestite hipster crossed with a Hot Topic try-hard. And *** is that horrible background singing? It sounds like someone birthing a Radio Disney singer.
0:13 - "I do play Squier myself." Good for you, want a cookie?
0:15 - "I support Pete, so I figured 'Why not rock his instead of mine?' ya know?" No, I don't. I doubt Pete even knows who you are.
0:47 - "You want something that looks pretty." I'm here to watch a review on a bass, I didn't ask why girls keep turning you down.
0:51 - "Something that makes this bass custom is it only has one tone knob." I fail to see how missing a tone knob is the first (and up to this point only) thing you feel makes this "custom."
1:00 - "I'm using the Rumble 60. The tone of this amp is great. I like to blah, blah, blah." Isn't this a bass review? You've spent more time talking about the amp's tone and zero talking about the bass, short of the missing tone knob.
1:02 - "I like to add a little bit of gain and grit, but it's got a lot of that trebley, pokey sound coming out of it." You have it set flat.
1:08 - We finally have a playing demo! And it sounds like every other crappy P bass with a cheap pickup!
1:16 - "There's that punchy, pokey sound!" Are you talking about the bass or the amp? At least you can't hear the banshee in the background anymore.
1:20 - That's it? Thank god.
This reviewer is a pair of pliers with the tips bent 180 degrees so they form a U at the end - in other words, a worthless tool.

Yeah that's Best Buy for you...TOTALLY in touch with the musician culture and community lol
For what it's worth, I couldn't have reviewed that bass with a straight face. No tone knob? Were TWO knobs too complicated for you, Pete? If you own a sig bass and cannot see the importance of someone PARTIALLY utilizing a tone knob, you fail at life. Anyhow, to the guy reviewing that bass...

Yes...even cartoon ponies think you are lame.
