I want one of these so much, but I really can't justify another P or J flavoured bass 🙃

Yes, translucent...you can see the grain.

I've seen quite a few nice ones but several that looked pretty bad, indeed.

Might be a good idea to check these out in person...this from someone who owns 12 basses, 9 purchased online.

I'd like to meet the genius who thought this was a good idea just to ask him why they weren't painted Dakota Red instead.

Oof

I would've preferred the blonde but saw the Jonny Dibble review prior to purchase so didn't want to risk it.  I'm pleased to say I'm very happy with my dakota red P and also happy for the guys who ordered the blonde and got a good one. They really are great basses 👍

I bought a Dakota Red one, too..it's everything you could want from a Precision bass and it looks great!

Ahh, feck it. 

 

Ordered the Seafoam jazz. I may end up taking the neck off it and putting it on my P bass, which is how I've justified buying the pretty thing to myself...

But, you're clearly all wrong and they're no good because they're not made of alder and rosewood...

It’s wood that makes all the difference

Now that's just silly talk my man, there's never any need to justify another P or J, you simply just do. Now pull yourself together and join the BC 40th Anniversary club.

That has a nice ring to it, not least in its ambiguity.

Damn you all I just ordered a red P.

My P was 3.8kg out of the box. There are few quoted weights throughout this thread, IIRC, ranging from just under 3.5kg, to just over 4kg.

Might just wait til one of you lot gets bored of it and pick one up in the classifieds early 2024 😂

Feel sorry for anyone trying to sell pretty much any squier / budget bass second hand for the next few months tbh...

I recently helped a friend find a Squier Affinity. A few around S/H but people asking £200 (some even more) and often some dinks etc. Bought a new one from PMT £240 I recall - next day free shipping so no running around dealing with a mixed bag of sellers. And you get to choose colour.

The new one was excellent - did a set-up but it was really good out of the box. Absolutely amazing how good these basses are for the money.

For those you who haven’t seen my NBD thread (if not, why not? ), I’ve added a tort PG to my 40th anniversary P. For your consideration…

Definitely needs those cream pickup covers.

I need to work out how to get one in the house without the wife noticing!
