Thanks for a honest review

I love mine love the color def not overkill

Is it a good guitar for beginners?

I´m still watching review videos on Squier guitars, and read some comments talking about guitar condition being a disaster. I´ve seen your unboxing and review video and decided to buy me this one pink HT single humbucker one. And also im living in Germany, i got the same condition. Guitar was ready to play from unboxing, just tune the strings and go. Great fretwork, no optical mistakes or bumps, neck is pretty good, actually amazing for this price (i got this guitar from thomann for 169 € , ca. 180 $) if i read comments on "cheap" guitar reviews, it seems that people expect way more from cheap guitar as from fender or gibson, and yet some guitars are truly overprized , you can get a really bad Fender Player for almost 1000 bucks, and nobody is talking about that. but same people are screaming when they get untuned Squier...

I have this in the Matte Frost Blue finish. Wonderful instrument. A little bit of a plain Jane, but everything you need. I have used mine on gigs, with a Fender SSH USA Strat as a backup. Haven't had to break out the Fender yet, although I have a really fine one in the OHSC (that GC exclusive in 2007-2009 with the red cherry mahogany body, love it too).

Fret sprout. This is terrible.

It a sub 200 bass. U act like ur talking about a 2k bass. I think youre fret sprout.

Either Squier have improved their quality control or you got a bad example. I picked up an Affinity PJ bass recently because I was impressed by how well made it was and how playable. Sure, I can see where money has been saved, but I have no problem at all with build quality or the sound - the pickups are ceramic but remarkably aggressive and responsive - which has been much improved by a good set of flats. Perhaps you should revisit this review with a different example ?

very good review

Frank Zappa was left out!

Great video, Keith! After watching it i decided to buy one. So, i was watching your channel lately and I´ve noticed that Sonic is hanging behind you at the wall, have you already put new humbucker or did some modding work? (sorry for my english, i´m from Germany). I waiting for exact same guitar it will arrive next week, i plan to mod this baby, so i got new bridge, locking tuners, EMG81 humbucker set, locking tree, knobs, jack plate, strap buttons etc.

Explorer it's not a guitar, it's a sculpture

BUT..look up how many species of mahogany there is, i seriously doubt that that is a pine wood, the chinese and there translations usually are pretty crazy. i have a series sc500 and there is no way my fretboard is pine of any kind it would be pretty obvious if it was.

Good review. Just bought one.

Ok saw it sorry I asked beautiful guitar

This Explorer in Canada are going for 2250 Long and Mc quade want a white one play at 2004 black gibson vee and a 1982 les paul silverburst that i payed 650 for back in 1988

How are the pickups

Get a Hamer Pete Willis

what is that song , that was playing before the video started

Very 🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I have two of these. Bought new from my local shop. Still bone stock. They made them perfect so I kept them that way. I just don't get people modding these, it kills me. It's like buying something that's already perfect and then fucking it up by changing shit. As far as the price i I think it's good for what you get. I've never had any issues with mine,never had to have work done or anything.

How long will it take to learn to play like that 🤔

A good honest review delivered with humility. Thanks dude.😊

It's too bad that the guitar doesn't come in a white color with a black pickguard and a laurel fretboard (I call it cheapo rosewood!!! LOL😅)!!!😮 If Squier did make one!!! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!!!! It would be my cheap skate Jake E. Lee "Whitey" guitar!!!! I would spray paint the headstock white to match the body and buy Schaller tuning pegs and a Seymour Duncan JB and a 500k volume pot!!! To modify the guitar!!!! 😅😄😃😄😃😁

Nice video and nice bass advice! 👍🏼

I bought an Epiphone SG Special Satin E1 a few months ago which I think is the latest and greatest release of it. I love this guitar! I had it set up and it plays great! I bought it because it was so light and I loved the neck. I agree, I don't worry about knocking it around or anything like that. I can't have nice things. I have the red one like yours, but I saw a black one at the GC where I bought mine and I really liked it too.

Looks and sounds killer. A solid 7/10. Btw, Gretsch has the best packaged guitars, imo.

Does the bridge have holes drilled in the bottom so you could turn it into a string through if you wanted?

Beautiful! I'm sad they don't have that finish in the left handed version. I'm probably gonna get this bass for myself sooner or later :D

The way I fixed it is that I always take my new guitars to a reputable guitar repair shop. My shop has a relationship with Fender. They contacted Fender and had Fender send a new neck for replacement

You got me more hyped to drop some cash on one of these.

I’m want to get one of these and put a set of Steve Harris pickups in it for $90. Use it for home recording.

I was in Sam Ash, saw a two-tone burst sitting on a stand and started playing it. EVERYTHING about it was excellent - string height, neck feel, frets didn’t cut me, sounded like a decent P bass so I grabbed it for $219! Very happy with my purchase!

I'm not going to watch this video, because I already have an Epiphone SG Jr. Special. In fact, I have the same model that you have, including the same year. (2017). I'm just going to leave a positive comment... My Epiphone SG Jr. Special is an EXCELLENT guitar, and I would highly recommend one for all players at all levels. It has served me quite well, through the years, and has been my go to guitar for open mics, and jamming. This is an excellent guitar for beginners, and makes a great first guitar for anybody. Sounds great, built solid, and won't break the bank. I can't say enough good things about i!🙂🤘👍

I have almoost exactly that bass! Lovin it👍👏✝️

Is the neck actually slimmer compared to other precisions?

I ordered the white one with the black pinstripes and it arrived yesterday. Huge Avenged Sevenfold fan here and I gotta say, this thing is amazing. Hands down best guitar I've ever played. The neck is the best neck I've ever had in my hands and the tone is just all kinds of awesome. Very well built. My favourite guitar that i own is my Schecter Omen Extreme and this ones just came along and blown it out the water. My dad played guitar and he started showing me somethings and trying to teach me guitar when he got cancer because i moved back in with him to look after him. He passed away not long after being diagnosed so i only knew the open chords at the time and maybe a couple of scales. He'd also been listening to Avenged Sevenfold for a few years from hearing them through me (he loved Richie Blackmore, Gary Moore, Carlos Santana, Brian May, Slash, Angus & Malcolm Young, Dave Murray & Adrian Smith) but he really liked Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeances and said they're his favourite modern day guitar players, to my suprise (even if he did used to joke about their names being dumb lol). Anyway, i always wanted to get a Synyster Gates guitar but wanted to wait until i felt like i was good enough to deserve it. And I'm absolutely gutted that he's not here anymore because he would've LOVED this thing. Great video by the way!! I've been telling everyone that they're not just for teenager's some of the older metal heads would definitely get a kick out of playing one of these bad boys too. Just not a lot of people are willing to give them a try because Avenged Sevenfold get so much unnecessary hate, I don't know why people hate them, I think they think it's cool or something. They make excellent music, are amazing live and they sure as hell know how to play their instruments. Always doing something new and exciting too. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I bought mine in August from Amazon for $176, I absolutely love it!

Hello first of all,🎉 I've been following you for years, and for me you're one of the most likeable people on CZcams who conveys everything so authentically with love and heart. I have a question about the new Squier Sonic Precision Bass! Of course, the name Fender is used to advertise the subsidiary company 😊 But I can't find a single German review about this bass. Everyone swears by new innovation, the Squier now has more strict quality controls, even with the 189 bass, and from the factory you hardly need to adjust anything anymore, for the most part the sides and high edges are well sanded, it sounds very close to the original. Now I was torn between Harley Benton's JB-75 and Squier Sonic Precision Bass. JB75 - HB Reason Purchase 99 percent only positive reviews including CZcamsr excellent machining, high-quality brass parts Squier Sonic Reason: Statements Original on the fender sound Good middle, deep, long sound when hitting the ball, clean without crunching (only claim) and work from professionally tuned neck bundle neatly without sharpening and good height (also claims) My question is that with the Squier you pay for the new bass model just because of the name fender on the guitar, which costs 189 Or whether JB75 is better but only cheaper because no brand pays? I'm confused and only have until tomorrow to decide Thanks in advance ❤

This guitar caught my attention browsing for a shredding guitar with 24 frets and Floyd rose. It looks like everything I want. Great review!

Maybe it's just me but the instrument looks just a hair smaller than most Precision Basses. I'm probably wrong.

I was about to order one of them, but it seems like I have to reconsider it.🤔

I have a '95 MIM P-Bass and having owned several US made P-Basses, the MIM is my favorite! I'll have to check out the Sonic!

Thanks! I'm a beginner and am trying to find the best value precision bass for under $250. This seems solid.

Do some more Meth, you might explain better.

I just picked up a beat up one for $75. The bridge is so bad that the strings have cut into the "metal". I only have one pickup working. It sure is pretty though.

I have a 69 Fender Precision w/Jazz Neck, Ocean Turquoise, block inlay on rosewood neck/bought at the music store I worked for in 1969. 2024 and Fender Custom Shop says "Sorry we won't touch it because you don't have a receipt"; although I do have owners manual with name of "E Paxton", only Custom Shop in Colorado is HB Woodsong, Boulder. I thought Fender had control of their channel. I believe HC Woodsong is telling Fender that no receipt, no work. You Better Think Twice/POCO

The Axcess is the best of old and newer features. You really can't beat the fact that it actually will hold tune thanks to the Floyd, and not having that big neck heel in the way.
