Exploring the Squier Sonic Series Bass Models | Fender
/ fender
The bronco sounds amazing. It's fantastic to see short scale basses gaining more and more popularity.
I picked up a white Sonic Bronco in October. Really enjoying it!
I love Squier. When I was younger, I cared what the headstock said. Not so anymore. I own Fender and Squier.
Didn't know Rick Grimes could play bass amazingly
I was about to comment this
So Rick Grimes or Peter Griffin lolll
exactly my thought!
How appropro he played the CORAL one… 😏
There wasn’t much else to do after the apocalypse.
If you can play, you can make any instrument sound good 👍🏻
Really great demo! The range of tones on that Bronco really surprised me
Especially with just one pickup. I can’t wait to get mine
I think the Sonic series is a winner. A very abrasive tone, needs the tone rolling off.
The Bronco bass sounds better! But both are great and the price point is very nice. Great to see instruments getting more affordable.
Would love these in left handed models! Forever getting overlooked !!!!!
I had 2 Squier basses, the Vintage Modifies Jazz and the Vintage Modified P. I did not mind a lot about the Jazz, but the P was a real gem! The sound was something unreal for punk rock! I regretted the fact i sold it...
I actually have 70s modified Jazz Bass by Squire. I'm a Precision Bass man religiously but that is one Jaz Bass I absolutely love. I play a lot punk rock bass lines as well so I know exactly what you're talking about when it comes to p bass really getting the job done.
@@danadane2501 Dont get me wrong, the Squire Vintage Modified Jazz was a very good instrument, super quality, no sharp frets, robust construction, it did not need set up when i bought it. But, the sound was for my standards weak and not that bassy...I am P bass man myself as well so, even if you give me a Gibson Thunderbird, i am sorry, i ll go back to the P immediately! (I have done it!).
I don't know how much edit is applied or if super high end recording stuff is used, but this P bass sounds superb.
I have one can confirm fantastic instrument for the price
@@georgepayne9506 thank you! I precisely tried two sonic P's, and both were great, specially the maple board one.
@@BassAdvisor oh nice yes I got the sunburst one it’s decent! I want to put some geezer butler emgs in, I did have to shield it as it was buzzing like crazy !
I've purchased three of these on separate dates and I must say that the last one is superb, they were all okay but this one has better fretwork, better setup and overall better tone. Good instrument.
Haven't tried playing bass for a long time, but when I heard about the sonic Bronco being lightweight and other features, I decided to order one - in white. I don't know why, but white is my fav color of electric bass.
How is it, do you like it? They look so awesome. I'm wondering if I should get one.
Kinda weird I’ve been searching for a white bass guitar and I’m feeling this one. Ur comment just sealed it for me haha
@@tls4022 The Squier Affinity bass seems to be better, and not so much expensive. The Sonic range is really the entry point, the lowest price.
sonic series bronco is a game changer ❤
Cant go wrong with Squiers👍🏻
Oh you can...!!
@@garywhitehead4160 yes you can but not often
I mean not if you know what you are doing with a guitar. 90% of the time there is nothing major wrong with a guitar, just people who don’t know how to tweak the tool they chose.
And I am a guitar player if my post didn’t give it away but, I am interested in starting bass or just having the bronco for a recording option.
@@garywhitehead4160just say you can’t use tools lmaoooooooo
Dear Fender can you please spare some purple paint for a bass guitar.
Mannnn that’s what I’m saying! My favourite P bass finish I’ve seen is the Adam Clayton Purple Sparkle P bass
this comment needs to be higher in comments :)
They have a great purple color-just a mod shop thing, though, so it will cost you no less than $1849+.
They added a few more awesome colors very recently... but I simply cannot afford such a bass right now. But if I had the means, would definitely consider it.
Fender offers a limited edition variant of the bronco in ultraviolet directly from their website...I got one and for $209 it is incredible, the fit and finish are flawless and all it needed right out of the box was tuned up, didn't even have to adjust the truss rod...I just wish the neck wasn't so pale, but that's a small gripe really
They just did! :D
Love that the Sonic Bronco comes with a 4 saddle bridge, I would still put a Badass II on it but still nice update.
Always thought about that on my 05 bronco that has the two barrel bridge
Im happy to see another budget pbass from squier since the new affinity series are pj
I have been looking for an “AFFORDABLE “ Squier P Bass with maple fingerboard!!! I already have a PJ Bass and Jazz I would like an actual P Bass I think this sonic P Bass is what I e been waiting for! And I love that Aquatic Blue color!!!!!!
We like the sound of that! Nothing wrong with adding another gem to your collection!
Really liked the Bronco!
I've bought today the one in California blue🎉
Had the chance to test that p bass(same color/specs) just now and was kinda surprised. The sound was nice on a small Warwick combo, also tested it on an Ampeg combo which felt a bit lacking in the mids, compared to what I'm used to. But in general it felt great, could see myself getting one as a mod platform.
Squier Rules !!!
I very much want a white bronco to paint a unique body and drop a Seymour Duncan 50's P bass pickup in it.
Ultimate modding platform, i have a stock Squier Bronco from 2021, am loving it. Would love to see what it's capable of with some better electronics.
Never played a guitar before, I would like to start with the bass. The bronco sounds very good. Should I get one?
hey! I play guitar and I’m looking to get my first bass, if you’re new I’d say the bronco would be a good bet because it’s got a shorter neck than the P bass:)
@@itzalex0522 thanks!
Did you start?
no
@@Hexspanot yet... I've been very busy. I wanted to buy the black one, but it will arrive in 4 weeks, I guess I'll wait. :/
At last simple P with maple!
Does the Sonic Bronco still have a 6 pole Strat pickup? Thinking of getting one to convert to a VI, so this would be useful.
Yes. Took mine out yesterday. It’s a ceramic Strat pup
Both sound wicked, nut width looks awesome. Good job SQ
hi, which one is better squier sonic or squier affinity pj bass new? thk all, please
Excellent bass demonstration from our friend Ricky Dicky Doo Daa Grimes 🤣
excellent demo - both sound perfectly cromulent, the precision slightly more so
CORALLLLL !!
Are the overdrive tones from the Downtown Express pedal? They sound legit.
So this is why you left walkin dead?isn't it?Rick??cone on!!
What distortion device was used?
1볼륨 1톤이 좋다.
can someone tell me which strings are used originally on this bass?
.45-.105 on both
The basses look and sound nice, but I ve paying more attention to the bass lines the guy played 😂😂😂😂😂 am I the only one??
Fender, PLEASE…..release a Precision in Sahara Taupe
Yo soy fan de Squier.
GRACIAS POR SU VIDEO.
Disfruto de una Squier Telecaster 50th , made in Indonesia, de pino veteado, ligera y bien construida, muy cómoda de tocar.
He adquirido otras guitarras mucho mas caras, y al final las he desechado y sigo con mi Squier.
ME GUSTA MUCHO EL BRONCO.
GRACIAS DE NUEVO.
Harley Benton competitor? 🤣
Who is Harley Benton?
@@JosePineda-jn8jk His probebly from USA 😉
no one cares@@JosePineda-jn8jk
I don’t know which should I choose 😕🥺
I have a 69 Fender Precision w/Jazz Neck, Ocean Turquoise, block inlay on rosewood neck/bought at the music store I worked for in 1969. 2024 and Fender Custom Shop says "Sorry we won't touch it because you don't have a receipt"; although I do have owners manual with name of "E Paxton", only Custom Shop in Colorado is HB Woodsong, Boulder. I thought Fender had control of their channel. I believe HC Woodsong is telling Fender that no receipt, no work. You Better Think Twice/POCO
I haven't seen them in Indonesia
Are there leftie versions of these?
Never. I used to be a die hard Fender boy, forever flipping righties because any left handed model was 1000 bucks and up. Harley Bentons in the 500 dollar range smoke anything 5 times the price from Fender.
@@jaketaylor7493 I try not to get jealous of all the right handed players, but it's hard not to when there's such an abundance of beautiful examples readily available but only a hand full of lefties. I've been in the cusp of purchasing a Mexican player series for a while but don't like the colours or the price.
I’m a lefty who learned righty because of this issue!🤷🏻♂️🎸🤬
fr@@brettthebassist
So what happened to the Jazz Bass we have position base and then we have Bronco Bass what happened to the Jazz Bass people the demonstration was lovely do
I can only guess, but Jazz basses usually cost more than P basses and there's only so much room between the Sonic Series P bass at $220 and the Affinity Series Jazz Bass at $280. I think if they offered the Jazz Bass at $240, it's just too close to the one already available.
That P-bass has a jazz bass neck. Look at the nut width and neck taper.
You still have the affinity jazz basses, I guess they share the same neck with the Sonic P.
Its this Bass now Squier Sonic P Bass? Here write guys bronco?
I hate the white pick up cover on the bronco, just make it black and it looks 10x better.
No lefty models in sight 😢
it s grat .....
You are trying to sell a bass. Why do you keep focusing on the players face? Does he come with the bass? Show us the damn bass! And maybe have the player play every lick he knows so we can get a feel for the basses full range.
Bronco is amazing bass,but Sonic's neck is awful and really uncomfortable.
"lightweight body" - and they don't write anything about the actual weight.. neither here nor on their website. Do they want to sell these instruments or not?
Furthermore they say nothing about how they recorded the basses.. I mean they just need to watch a few videos from RUclipsrs and do the same thing..
Yeah, even if they can't be exact, because individual guitars vary, they could give a range. I've always thought this would be helpful, but manufacturers just don't.
I checked Sweetwater, because they usually show weights, but their Sonic Series listings don't have them. Perhaps the profit margin is too thin to justify the expense of weighing them individually.
@@sagittated Yeah, I guess for Sweetwater nor / Thomann it isn't worth weighing them. But imagine those big stores would be testing the actual instruments one by one and adjust prices according to quality.. I'd happily pay a bit more and they would get less returns because you know a bit better what you get (i.e. where the dead spots are, if any. is the pickup positioned well, is the neck joint done well, neck dive, weight, fret leveling, etc.)..
Then again, they are so cheap, you'd just buy one, try it out and send it back, if it isn't a good one. My father tested classical guitars also from master builders... he would take like 5 guitars to a hotel and play them for 3 days and buy only the good sound ones. It is an actual skill to test an instrument. A lot of demos only scratch the surface..
Aside from weight, I'd like to know what they're made of. Is it basswood? Poplar? Probably not alder or maple, I'm guessing. ETA: Sweetwater says they're made of poplar.
Good thing it’s a Squier and you can go to pretty much any music store anywhere and try one out.
Weight varies. I got the blue P bass and mine weighs 7.5 lbs, perfect for my bad lower back. However I saw some weighing as high 8 lbs.
It's a Squire... poor workmanship, shoddy hardware and materials, and the jazz bass I bought brand new had a neck like a banana and an action you couldn't get in tune regardless!!
Yes, its a budget instrument.
you get what you pay for. there isnt much budget for quality control in a sub 200$ instrument.
@@phipschi4255 So why buy a budget instrument in the first place if you can't trust quality control...?? Got rid of my Squire POS and got a American made jazz bass
That's why you need to try it before purchase, I played many squiers and had no problem at all. The electronics may be low quality, but you can always upgrade it. Completely fine instruments.
Smart companies appeal to all skill levels and price points. And at a budget price point fit and finish, plus QC will be a lot lower than more expensive instruments.
That comes with the territory...and a lot of buyers dont mind that. Not everyone can afford more expensive gear.
