Frequently Asked Questions
The stacked active bass/treble controls offer more precise tonal shaping than the passive electronics found on many other Squier models, allowing for a broader range of sounds.
The neck finish is generally smooth right out of the box, but some players may prefer to lightly polish it for an even slicker feel – a common practice regardless of bass.
While not high-output, the noiseless pickups handle a surprising range of styles; you'll get a tight, defined tone for funk and a usable growl for lighter metal applications.
