Freddy Le Cragg Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I needed a cheap back up bass as I shall be joining a band come the end of the week. I picked this up for 80 quid. Its a Squier Affinity P-Bass in midnight blue metallicky kind of colour. Made in Indonesia with a IC08 serial. It sounds and plays lovely for a cheapy and seems to have a substantial chuck of wood for a body. It still baffles me that Squier can make such amazing instruments at such a low cost.

Len_derby Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Congratulations on your purchase. I love Squiers too. Perhaps we could turn your question around. How do some manufacturers get away with charging so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there are better woods, more refined dimensions, better electrics etc. But when I am blasting through cheap cables into a dodgy old Marlin X150 head, I don't think many punters could tell if it was a Stagg or a Wal.
