My experience is that, as a guitarist coming to bass after five decades playing in bands, I've gone through five basses in six months before settling on a humble Squier Bronco. My requirements are apparently niche - short-scale maple fretboard good balance - no neck dive please! (the G&L Fallout had to go) light weight slim C-profile neck (the Precision neck is a 2x4) I'm currently gigging an Affinity Bronco - like yours. Sadly Fender have replaced this by the inferior Sonic. Fit and finish are great, it's light, I can play it for hours. Two sets are a breeze. There's nothing wrong with the tone from the cheap ceramic six-string pickup. To my mind it all begs the question, why are "quality" bass guitars desirable? I'm probably going to buy some lightweight tuners, but really, most of the negative points you make are in my opinion positive. It really goes to show that one person's opinion, is just that. But tell me, O Wise One, what would be in your view a worthy, available bass that fulfils the listed criteria? Over to you.

I usually roll my tone back about half way. What I do like about these basses is the overall tonal balance between the low end and high end. You don’t normally have spots in the frequency range on any string that step out more than the rest. For this reason I actually like recording with it so long as it’s fattened up that little bit and the buzz is cut back by that rolled off tone control.

The survival of the Bronco has always puzzled me. There are people who want 'Fender' on the headstock, and are willing to pay extra for that, but who has ever paid extra for 'Squier'? If anything, the continued existence of the Bronco at this price point drags the Squier name down. It should be a $100-120 bass: but clearly Fender don't want to compete in that price category.

And it works out the same price as the Squire Mustang.

That shirt is awesome. I would rather go with a Harley Benton or a Glarry for a bass in this range. Even the low end Ibanez or Jackson. Not a fan of the low end Squires even though they are "fine". I just want a little more that that price. I am so over paying more for a name on the headstock.

Wow - I know just what to do to mod this bass. First get a Bartolini P pickup - then a new 4 saddle Hipshot bridge - and oh yeah - some new Hipshot tuners. Then find a nice used MIM Fender P bass body and neck. After that, get some new pots and cap, and - oh wait...............nevermind.

Found your channel recently and been binging ever since! I did have a question though! I'm currently borrowing an old acoustic bass from a family friend(right between long and extra long scale, 35 inches) and have been for the last few months but it's just way too big for me despite being 6'3/191cm so I am looking to buy a budget regular bass. Would you recommend a normal scale or short scale? With shops being closed in my country due to endless lockdowns I can't go to one to just hold one and see what feels right. I'm asking because I'm trying to avoid ordering & returning unnecessarily. I'm currently looking a Squier Affinity Series Jaguar or a Jackson JS1X Concert Minion.

Thank you and welcome! Great question. I reviewed the Minion and showcased a modded one in the same video to show the potential of that little bass. IMO it's great for the sub 200 dollar price point and is a fun little mod platform/travel instrument too. IMO it's better quality than the Affinity series instruments. Hope that helps!

I like the Bronco but I agree it's way too expensive for what it is. I'd love to find an abused and discarded one on the cheap. Put a cheap hot rails copy in it, see if I can set the bridge back to the edge of the body without destroying the intonation (probably not possible), new tuners, etc. But all things considered I'll probably never pick one up.
