Fender va Squier: ultimate Precision PJ battle!

[dave84]

The eternal challenge between Fender and Squier is renewed with a new battle this time between two Precision PJ of completely different price ranges. In this challenge, the entry level Squier Precision of the new affinity series is compared with the only American Precision PJ passive currently available in the Fender catalog, the Fender Precision American Performer.

Who will be the winner? The decision is yours after having seen and heard this complete sound test of the two instruments!

PS: for both basses I used a set of Fender strings 7250M Nickel Plated Steel Roundwound, Long Scale.

Bassists (including me) shouldn't obsess about P bass sounds. Your excellent video and the one below, show that there isn't much difference in the sound of different P basses. Especially when the bass is in a mix with other instruments.

I preferred the US, just seemed to have better definition to the sound.

At 100% tone I preferred the US, as Lozz said, better definition.  On 0% tone though I think I preferred the Squier, the US was still a bit sharp on the tone.
