Hi all, This is my 2nd post so please be gentle. I went to GC in springfeild,nj today and to my surprise I played a black squire affinity jazz 5 . Great bass, setup was perfect, tones were unbelievable and powerful. It was 9 oclock n they were closing so i put the bass on hold and will pick it up tomorrow. Now i've heard some people trash the Squire name, i read n read but today i decided to see for myself what all the talk is all about. Well i found out. The squire i played today makes me wonder if i should sell some of my higher-end basses(keep MM, Spector) and be done. This squire was perfect wish they made these basses 15 years ago maybe they did but i didnt know about them and thats my fault. I wanna thank all the TBers who make all the post because now i've been made aware of them and i am very grateful to you guys. So in closing keep up the good work and all the debates about different basses.
