New Squier Classic Vibe Basses

[Lozz196]

I do know a couple of bassists from pretty high profile punk/Oi bands that use Squiers. One of the bands was very high profile back in the day. And slightly  off-post but Pete Shelley used to use very cheap Epiphone guitars.

Could imagine it might be a form of reverse snobbery for some punks, like "we need an expensive guitar as much as we need interesting chords!"

Yeh, Bigger CTS pots and a different capacitor.

Fair enough.

What values did you go for out of interest?

To be honest I think it stems a lot - certainly with one of the bands - to the amount of beer that gets chucked at them when they’re playing. Why get an expensive bass drenched.
