Classic Precision Bass from Squier

The Squier Affinity Series Precision Bass PJ puts classic P Bass tone and feel into your hands at an amazing price. Featuring a lightweight, resonant polar body, this bass guitar is friendly on the back for hours of performance. The combination of Precision and Jazz Bass pickups in this stellar bass gives you the vintage, gritty Fender tone that has won over so many players over the decades. And since each pickup has its own volume knob and master tone knob, you can tweak your tone to your preference. The Affinity Series Precision Bass PJ features a maple neck and a 20-fret maple fingerboard for fast, comfortable playing and wide-open stylistic exploration. Vintage-looking tuners compete the setup on this stunning instrument.

Precision Bass and Jazz Bass pickup combo offers versatile tone

Giving you the best of both bass worlds, the Affinity Series Precision Bass PJ arms you with tonal versatility. The split-coil P Bass pickup gives you an aggressive, meaty tone, while the J Bass single-coil pickup delivers a crisp, full-bodied sound for a bass that is balanced, versatile, and classic Fender all the way. Bassists at Sweetwater love having a bass like this in their instrument arsenal — it can suit a range of styles and playing situations.

Neck designed for fast, comfortable playing

Made from solid maple with a maple fingerboard, the neck on Squier's Affinity Series Precision Bass PJ is designed for fast playability and stellar response. The 20 medium jumbo frets provide you with added playing comfort, keeping hand and finger fatigue at bay while producing wonderful tone.

Reviews

Super nice appearance and quality
This was a gift so we only had a chance to tune it, play a few notes to test it and the sound was great. It has a beautiful finish and craftmanship seems high quality. It's perfect for teaching in the classroom setting. Also, it was packaged very securely for shipping and arrived quickly from Sweetwater. Customer service from Sweetwater is excellent! Very satisfied with this product and recommend it. Thanks to Edward Vien for all your help in selecting this bass guitar, amp, and bundle package for our son! He loved it!
Great Stock or to Mod
This bass came 8n great shape and sounded pretty good stock.

I was able to set it up and the action with stock hardware was great.

However, I purchased this to modify. All Fender and after market parts for American Precision Basses fit without modification. Except for the tuners but I purposely got the old clunky vintage style.

Upgrades are:
* Fender Jazz Style neck for PBass with 1.5" nut and 12" radius.
*Graphtech Tusq XL nut.
*Hipshot tuners with matching Drop D tuner
*Semour Duncan Qtr Pounder PJ set.
*Fender Hi-Mass Bridge
*Fender PBass knobs
*Completely rewired with CTS pots, oil bucket tone capacitor with gavett cloth 22g wire.
*Schaller strap locks
*ZeroMod thumb rest
ALL SCREW HOLES LINED UP PERFECTLY... better than original for pickguard.

WHAT A GEM
Don't let the price discourage you from this Bass Guitar, very high Fender quality and sound. I was totally taken by the precise accuracy of the fretboard and pickups. So don't hesitate on this Jewel.

Great Bass
I got this bass for another place but it is a Great playing and sounding bass. It is very hard to believe that it was under 400. It plays great and sits great on the strap!! You and get the neck straight and the action pretty low with hardware it comes with. Also it looks very cool.
