    today i went into GC this evening and randomly pick up what is listed as a ltd. edition affinity pj just to pass the time i plug it in, and immediately notice the low smooth action, smooth fret ends, and hot but articulate pickups, not sure if this was just luck, but in my opinion this was a...

    Trouble finding 14-hole pickguard for a Squier Affinity P-Bass

    I'm struggling to find a pickguard that would fit my Squire Affinity P-Bass (2003, China). Every pickguard that I find online has either 13 or 10 holes, while I happen to need 14-holed one for my P-Bass... I've tried putting on a 13-hole pickguard, but it turned out there's more differences...

    Can anyone identity the cause of this fret-buzz?

    I recently purchased a Squier Affinity jazz bass and I like everything about the bass...except for the fret-buzz above the 12th fret. There is some buzzing on all strings high up the neck which makes me think it's a matter of raising the action at the bridge, but I wanted to make sure it's not a...

    Is it Worth Paying to Fix or Replace Nut on Squier Affinity P Bass?

    See title. My first bass was a Squier Affinity Series P Bass (purchased new in 2004) and the nut is off-center. I have other, "better" basses to play, but I was thinking there would be no harm in having another backup that is playable. It does play with the off-center nut but it would play...

    NBD, with or with out pickguard?

    Picked up a used 2017 affinity jazz bass for the price of a Glarry today. It’s my first jazz bass, closest I had/have is a peavey foundation. It plays really well once I set it up, the strings seem pretty new too. It’s not my favorite sounding bass, but I suspect a change in pickups could do a...

    Just kidding :D But it is a pretty snazy looking and playing Affinity P.... Actually sounds pretty decent, it has a lot of treble though thanks to the 500k pots, has a great pick style pop punk sound stock if that's your cuppa tea. After a jack grounding issue and a full set up and pickup...

    Best-looking neck wood I’ve seen in awhile.

    Today at a nearby GC. Heavily flamed; just gorgeous, premium wood... on a $99 used Affinity Bronco! Imagine what a subtle dye job and a proper finish would do on this. Instead? Nothing but a satin clear coat. I dunno. I just thought it was odd.

    That's my choice for a second "first" bass (I played in bands twenty years ago but have barely touched the instrument since then). Tried both and both play fine. I prefer the VM in pretty much every way but the thing that's making me think twice is that I've heard the new Chinese Squiers are...

    A question about my Squier Affinity PJ

    I'm quite new to bass guitar in general, but I've played electric guitar for quite a while. Could someone tell me which know does what? I'm guessing it's volume for each pickup and a master tone, but I don't know which knob does what. Thanks in advance.
