    :help: I need another bass for jazz combo, and I don't think my Rogue 5 string is going to cut it. I have a very tight budget and I was looking at getting a Squire Standard Jazz bass, but then I saw the Affinity at a lower price and I'm all like, as far as I'm concerned they are almost the same, they didn't list any differences, they basically said the same d*mn thing :scowl: . So I'm wondering what's the difference, should I spend the extra $40 for Standard or go all cheapie and get the Affinity? Is there another jazz bass anyone can suggest within that price range? Thanks! :help:

    well, i would guess you will be getting a quality (sound, construction) lower than a regular squier...
    personally i would recommend essex click here!

    or get the 5 string for 30 bucks more. now click here!
    i think just about any essex will beat squier in every catagory.
    you actually have more choices than those two, just go to rondomusic.com and find a bass thats better than a squier
