NBD: The Bargain Back-Up Bass

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.

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?

No idea. 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.
