Nice overview of these basses and their features and manufacture over time. Like you, I noticed how nice these looked about 15 years ago and after searching briefly, found the same Indonesian model in the natural finish and Designed By pups. Interestingly my fretboard markers were block inlays rather than painted on. I do recall reading some years in that line using the printed ones, like you mention. I kept it for 10 years as my all around bass and it did everything I needed it to very well - it could get warm P bass tones and all the growling and clarity of the J. I did eventually sell it this year because of the weight. Mine was nearly 13 lbs. I think the body may have been ash. Not sure, but it had some nice flame figuring. Everything about it was well made and I never had problems with the electronics or anything, and I left it stock. Oh, and I picked mine up online from a pawn show out of state and it was just $200. I sold it for a little more than that 10 years later!

Thanks for watching and commenting! If the pickups are Duncan Designed, they should have it printed on them. I forgot to mention I also remember seeing one in Guitar Center years ago with an ISS serial number made by Samick, I think. You can figure out when and where yours was made by looking at the serial number. I find the "Squier Wiki" site to be really helpful. Apparently the pickups have changed a few times over the years.

As much as I don't play anymore due to life and family, I am getting this for my practice area. When I do have the chance to play I don't want to be messing with cables and wrapping them all up when I'm done. Spark Amp sits on the shelf, this plugs into the amp & bass and should make for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

I didn't know about the Ampeg SCRDI, so I looked it up, thanks! It looks like a really cool and useful piece of gear, especially with the headphone output. I think it's probably a really good multi use tool for a lot of bass players out there that would be great for recording, practicing, and gigging. It definately looks like it may be the ultimate headphone amp. I have a SansAmp Bass Driver DI on my board that I really like, but it doesn't have a headphone output, plus 1 for Ampeg for sure! If I had known that my Amplug would fail shortly after I found it, I wouldn't have bought the cheap Joyo headphone amp, but it's working for now. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

@rockoutvideography9116 күн бұрын
I had to look up the Katana 110, I had not seen one before. If I could find a way to get my hands on one, I would love to review it. It's a really interesting amp. A quick look makes me think it's trying to be like their guitar modeling amps, but for bass. At 60w continuous, it's probably loud enough to kep up with a drum kit and could bridge the gap between a practice amp and a gigging amp for small venues. My old Fender Rumble 30 fits into that slot with less power. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, comment, and leave a recomendation, much appreciated!

It was meant as a humorous aside, like the way I would say it if I was casually talking to a friend. Unfortunately, all of the tone of voice and body language is missing when we communicate in text.

Unless I'm mistaken, the other indent is a breather that allows the driver cone travel its optimal distance. Some stereo speaker cabs have this vent that is attached to an adjustable cylindrical cardboard tube inside the box. The cardboard tube length can be shortened or lengthened, which in turn varies the depth of bass frequency. These vent types are often used for achieving ultimate bass response for small enclosed cabs, unlike open-back guitar amps.

Thanks for watching and contributing to the discussion. Several viewers have commented that it is a "Passive radiator", although one viewer has his doubts due to the small size of it. I had never heard of this and had to look it up. I "Think" it is a passive radiator, or at least it is meant to be one. Perhaps the size is big enough or it's still partially doing it's job and that is the size they had to work with? Your description seems to be one of the features a passive radiator would provide to bass frequencies.

I pulled out my rocketbass 50 today just to experiment with it. Normally I use my Peavey Max300 210. I figured out how to get a great tone from the Ampeg. In the past I would just use the eq for cutting starting at 12’oclock. Could never get a satisfying tone. Today I boosted the low to 3:00 mid 10:30 and treble 2:00. Omg!!! I am blown away at how great it sounds. Next I ran direct out into a Headrush powered 112 full range speaker and it is comparable to the Peavey in tone. Fun stuff
@rockoutvideography91Ай бұрын
I just looked at my settings, the ones I had it set at for the gig we played a couple weeks ago. I had it set at Bass -1, Mid -2, High +2.5. Since I'm using an EQ pedal to cut at 50hz and boost at 120hz, these settings sound good in our practice space and the club we usually play at. I usually cut the low frequencies where the kick drum needs to sit. This usually gives us a good low end in our mix. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I bought the Indonesian version of this in about 2003. The pickups sounded a bit weedy, so I dropped a Basslines in the neck position and it's shocking how good it is. I used to have an Ibanez RB850 and before that a 1972 Fender Jazz, so I think I have some idea of what makes a nice bass. OK, the Jazz was awful (it was cursed somehow, sounded terrible, the neck would never stay the same shape and bits kept falling off it - a 70s Fender lemon). I sold it for the 850 and I loved that Ibanez Roadstar. It was then borrowed by a 'friend' (ex-friend) who did an American and European tour with it, but he was, let's say, unmanageable, and when gave it to someone else to return it to me (with added awful belt rash from his studded belt) I never saw it again. I was gutted. I was no longer playing bass live so I just wanted something cheap but reasonable as a stopgap for recording my own ideas, so I bought the Affinity PJ. I've never felt the need to replace it, it plays wonderfully, the neck is great and it looks great, black with a black headstock and mirrored pickguard. I'm too old and ugly to care that it has Squier rather than Fender on the 'stock. Now that I'm playing again, I doubt 99.9% of people know the difference and musicians who might be snobby about it can go swivel, not that I've met any. I'm thinking about getting a pro setup (I've always setup my own instruments, but I thought I might treat myself) and replacing the bridge, J pickup. This pickup doesn't sound terrible but compared to the Basslines it is a bit meh. The level is also so much lower than the P pickup and it does something funny when both are on full, my goto knob positions are full everything except the J pickup wound back a tiny bit so it doesn't kill the wonderful deep stuff coming from the Basslines. Maybe I screwed up the install or something, but I don't remember if I did it myself or not. Anyway, TLDR. I don't know how different they are 20 years later but generally, guitars and basses seem to be getting better by the decade. Once the pickup was changed, and that's a matter of taste, really, it's become the favourite bass I've ever owned. And because it was relatively cheap (under £200) I don't feel I need to be precious with it, unlike my Les Paul 1971 Deluxe guitar!

Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your story. 2 gigs ago I played my Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass and it sounded great. No one, including other musicians at the gig had anything to say about it. I also used to mostly play my Squier CV 50s P Bass with the band and everyone thinks that one sounds great as well. (That bass has a damaged input jack and is getting completely un-necessary upgrades ) At my last gig a few weeks ago I played my "62 re-issue real Fender USA P Bass" Guess what? No one came up and asked what kind of bass it was or commented that I sounded any better than usual. The Affinity Bass is also getting a bunch of "Upgrades" soon. But honestly, these modification or "Upgrade" projects I have going on are just passion projects for fun. I really do not expect any drastic improvement in the way the instruments will sound.
