I really appreciate the DI signal tone being added in here. it lets me know what it would sound like if I purchased the based and played it through my amp at home. I feel like every thing demoed through a GK/ampeg cab sim is going to sound much cooler than when i buy it and run it through my mark bass combo.

Squiers are pretty variable in weight, I don’t think they filter out the body blanks by weight to the extent Fenders Corona factory might. If you try like 10, there’ll probably be a featherweight 1 in that 10.

I put one of these on pre order as soon as I saw it, what a stunning looking bass. I’ve had mine a month or so now, and I agree that the feel, the build quality, the playability are all spot on, such a well made bass. I just don’t think I like how it sounds 🫤 I got it out for the last 5 songs of our gig last weekend, and it’s ok in a live/band setting, but I just don’t think I love it, like I hoped I would. It’s a little too dark sounding for me, there’s no zing there. We play 70s/80s New Wave, and there’s a lot of very busy bass lines, and it just doesn’t cut through the mix, certainly not as well as my Mustangs. I’m going to get it out at this weekend’s gig and give it another chance, try to tweak my EQs a little better, but I fear it will quickly get relegated to another nice looking bass ornament in my house 😢

Think a 32" scale '72 tele bass with a wide range humbucker by the neck and a jazz bass pickup by the bridge, mustang bridge, cream bound Candy Apple Red body with a single-ply white pickguard, matching headstock, bound neck with block inlays (a bonus would be if it even came with 2 vol, 2 tone and a toggle switch)

I'm glad this thing sounds great because I'm not gonna lie; I'll probably get the most of my milage from the neck pick up (I'm kind of a post-hardcore; punk and hardcore pick player who dabbles in distorted power chords; I palm mutes his chugs because of how much gain I use). I honestly just love the look of it. My only gripe is that they didn't make it in more colors. I'd love to see one of these in a deep, wine red or maybe some sort of sunburst.

Great review thanks. Hi fellow bassists (and cellists!) Bought the Fender Rascal model with the three lipstick pickups when it first came out. The sound is superb, and I would never attempt to customise such a rare bass. I read only about 1,000 were ever produced. My complaint is I miss resting my thumb on normal squarish-shaped pickups. As a cellist when playing pizzicato/plucking I often use the edge of the fingerboard for my thumb as a reference point. Has anyone compared the Fender Rascal vs. the Squire Paranormal Rascal?

It is very puzzling to me why Fender / Squier would make this bass with a short 30" scale and then place the bridge so far up the body that it basically plays (reach-wise) like a long scale bass ?? It doesn't make any sense at all, this would be an awesome short scale bass if only the bridge was in a better position.. as it is though, you might as well buy a long scale bass instead.
@IceyFlame500 3 ай бұрын
I’m not sure what you mean, I think most players play with their thumb on the pickup, but regardless, the distance between frets is smaller on a short scale, so it’s easier to shred. Also, because the strings are shorter, there’s actually less harmonics, hence why short scale basses have a distinctly tighter sound.

hey, nice video and nice bass, Thank you for sharing. Looking at it it seems that the shortened scale has been achieved by just moving the bridge towards the neck. Is the neck actually shorter? (from a production point of view it would make sense to keep the neck lenght as per standard, taking advantage of the bridge placement, and just change the fretboard). That would also explain why it's not as light as you expected.

I'm not sure if I should give the credit to you, your mullet or that expensive stomp you're using but when you do your hard picking you seem to make everything sound good. I'm extremely anti Squier probably due to years ago when their stuff was absolute trash. It seems they've gotten better but I'm not a fender bass guy any way you look at it. Musicman and Warwick all day. Guitars are a different story. David Gilmour strat me up all day but that's for a different channel. Anyway, just here to to say you made a bass I don't care for sound good. Oh and I'm from the US (Chicago) and I wouldn't contaminate my collection with that horrible pink whatever that was, or any other pastel colored axe if you offered it for free! I can't understand the popularity of those colors these days! Please let's all put an end to those colors.🤢🤮
