Unboxing The Squier Affinity PJ Bass Pack | Fender

Always wanted to play "Bass" and never pulled the trigger... I am 37 and I just orded my starter pack and you know what... I can't wait better late then never.
Congratulations to both of you, i will follow my dreams like you no matter what
I'm 48 and I will get it. This past Christmas I took on the flute as I received it as a Xmas gift. I have practiced about 60 days consecutively and I can see the progress. I've been a guitar player for many years, but I had put aside learning other instruments until this past Xmas. Good luck on that. Tell us about the sound quality.
@@OPTIONALWATCH¡Buena suerte para ti tambien amigo!
have fun !! age doesn't stop you from doing anything that you enjoy
True !! I hope it goes well !
Bought this pack , when i wanted to learn bass, great starter pack for the money
How has it been? I'm new to playing bass and I wonder if this is good
@@epeli4585 I have the same bass, and after minor adjustments it plays great. If I was new to playing bass, I would definitely start with this kit. One thing though, if you decide with Affinity, you should take it to someone who is comfortable around wireing and electronics, because that J pickup can be really noisy. No worries, a good shielding solves this minor problem. I played a few basses during the years but everytime I end up with Fender. And a Squier is damn close to it.
Good luck and keep playing :)
@@tamaskepes2696 I bought a Squier Precision bass from my local guitar store for 170€ but feels good still and thanks
Jinfa Wu How has it been going? Have you learned alot already?
Yisus Metalero ok thanks 👌🏽
Picked up my first bass in 2004. I’ve played more shows than i can remember since then. I can say from experience that this bass is most definitely gig worthy.
bases seem to have a higher build quality than guitars
Fender : we decided to not throw picks with this pack
Davie504: *WISE CHOICE*
I've slappd like
Small pp
I would have actually liked some picks in the pack
@@rafaelmarques1314 I have a very big pick who sucks on a guitar, let's use on bass
Rafael Marques use your fingers like a man
JUST GOT THIS BASS AND I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED. I SO HYPED TO LEARN THIS THING. THANKS SWEETWATER.
Attaboy have funnn
Yes!!! Sweetwater!!!!!!! I'm gonna start bass. Should I get this one??
I’ve had this pack for a month, and haven’t had to change strings yet. They sound very good and the amp sounds great. Get it while you can!
did you have to do an adjustment when you bought it? and how did it turn now after 11 months
There were no adjustments needed at all when I bought it. Beware though, the cable it came with gave out after about a month. Get a better one. Everything else is great though. It still functions like new. If you’re a beginner I highly recommend this kit.
my affinity came with total crap strings, first thing to change I suggest. and the cable was half-dead already.
I trust Squire guitars and basses. They’re great for beginners and intermediate players.
they're evil
Its almost christmas and im in high hopes for one
Me too
I desperately want a Fender stratocaster in sunburst!
Did you get one?
@@brockthompson_ No sadly not but there's always next year eh?
Sharlie Dwyer There's always other opportunities to get one. Like birthday gift, or just as a gift. So, yeah.
The starter pack is always good for beginners, I got started playing an Squier Affinity P Bass and that became my workhorse. I really loved that bass with all my heart, ofcourse that's the first bass I started playing with years ago. I do recommend young beginning bass players to get a starter pack, it has everything a beginner bassist should have.
2:29 I laughed at strap on, I’m actually 5
Oh
Question is what kind of 5 year old laughing at strap on???
A 5 yr old with this kind of grammar, past tense , apostrophes and double L on actually? Very unlikely, then cracks an unlikely joke about strap on. Must be a perverted genius.
Lol you ain't 5 liar
Guys when they say they are actually five he’s joking 😂. They’re saying that they have the mental age of five.
I just bougt this pack and cant wait for it to arrive and learn playing bass :)
Right on, Mochi! 🤘🎸😎
Bought a used version of this pack. One of the best decisions I've made. Bass sounds and plays great and the amp is very versatile little unit.
**Testing P pickup**
**Testing J pickup**
**Testing both together**
So you have a lot of different tones!
I mean,you kinda do have a lot of tonal possibility.
4:55 close your eyes and hear it
I knew someone was gonna say that 🤣.
Haven't played in 20 years and just ordered one... excited to see how bad I play after all that time but eager to learn the ropes once more.
Favorite part of the video, the subtle pushing the box down out of the way.
Yea
Excellent tutorial and demo for Bass Guitar beginners!
I bought the exact same pack but with the completely black bass ^^
It bet that looks sweeet.
how did it turn out? did you have to do an adjustment when you first bought it? what about the amp how is it
@@World.21 Nope, it was perfect right out of the box ^^ the only "problem" I have with the amp is that even at minimun level its a lil bit too loud but sounds amaaaaazing
@Hello There no thanks
I’m getting this exact set for Christmas! So excited :)
I’m so excited for playing this! I’ve heard great things about p basses :D
I've got this exact bass for xmas this year and i genuinely cannot wait to begin playing, this video has explained so much to me
I've done exactly the same. Can't wait 'till it arrives!
@@kade2273 only tonight left 🎄🎄
Nice job on explaining this with a nice relaxed and clear explanation.
Thanks! Really helped a lot as a beginner.
Thanks for the strap tutorial. I was confused.
This bass is so beautiful
Got this for Christmas 🔥
hi fender i love your guys' vids
I got this exact package. I love it!
This is a perfect bass pack for a beginner, I got this bass pack around 7 months ago and it was a great choice. I must say, the instrument cable that came with the bass broke within the first month or so and the strap that came with it was pretty bad (it would slip off the bass at random, once I got a new strap I haven't had this problem since). But the amp and bass work like a charm and I love playing it.
Mine broke too! Xoukdb
Couk
WoW i was about to buy the all black one but this color is beautiful 😍 I think I changed my mind
I wanna get this pack just for the guitar itself. What a beauty.
you can get the guitar separately I'm pretty sure
I just received the all black version of this bass guitar. I love it already.
@Srijan Not much, bass is a very easy instrument to start. Only if you want to master it you'll have more bussines
still loving it? thinking of getting the black version too
I have the body part of this bass that I bought off from ebay. I attached a fretless Mighty Mite bass neck, and it sounds pretty cool.
In lockdown in Spain...Might have a couple of months spare time on my hands and that bass the nuts...Just got to convince my Wife I need another toy...Thanks for the demo....
I'm thinking about getting my first Bass next month but I can't decide between the Yamaha TRBX174EW or this pack, I always loved Fender's Basses but I also like Yamaha's Tobacco Brown Burst color.
Great video !! Hugs from Rio.
i have this guitar and it does a job with a good eq - amp-pedals
this man have a dream job
I would have liked a bass pack with the white squier affinity pj
Always wanted to try Bass. Looking at getting this in the black version.
It's right here next to me, love it
I got the Black version, 2 weeks ago. Never played Bass before so I'm a total beginner. I love it!
how was that so relaxing xD
It's called unintentional ASMR
I was going to buy this pack until I found this exact bass on craigslist barely used that came with a barely used rumble 40 ($200 dollars on its own) and a gig bag all for $200 total.
I got this bass for christmas 1 year ago had high action though I could fix that on my own (for the most part) even as a noob it was a pretty good beginning instrument
This guy looks like if Phil Anselmo never got into drugs and joined a jazz band in this twenties
This comment is extremely underrated.
Cool video!!!!!! Its good to see videos dedicated to Squier products
That's the first bass I'm gonna buy
Very epic,approved
I have this bass, i have La Bella 1954 flat wound strings on my bass. I love my bass, i have been playing bass since 1986 .
Very funking cool
kien trae gel?
I want one
What makes that one limited edition? I have this one and love it going to but some emg pickups in it soon
Why am I watching this I've been playing for 9 years :P
All bass demos usually have everything sounding flat, I appreciate this one actually sounding like a bass en vivo, btw what mic did you use for the amplifier?
Looks like a Shure SM7b. If true, they've recorded a $220 bass and $80 cab with a $400 mic. I also think the bass sounds nice, but maybe don't expect to get these exact sounds into a DAW or PA with an SM57 clone that might be a bit more realistic for someone on a starter budget.
i want this pack so bad 😭
I might get this bass pack even though I want an Ibanez 5 string bass with active pickups to play KoRn songs
If you're a beginner DO NOT buy a five string bass. It's just more to learn. Start with a four string. Also, my advice to you, is to get an actual bass teacher. I'm learning from a professional bassist that traveled around the world in different bands. Invest in a real teacher, I learned way more from a professional bass player in less than a month than what I did with Fender Play.
Is the one showing in the video the "Limited Edition" one? Does it have a stripe at the back of the neck?
35 and ordering this bass package
I wish he told us about the action of the bass. Are the frets in perfect height for playing. How about the sound? Does it sound good when recording? That's what I plan to use it for. Sometimes I wonder, Is the technology been used today for this affordable bass, better than the one used in 1960 or 1970s and if so, why wouldn't this Fender Squier bass sound better than the professional bass line? I would think pickups today are better than the ones made 40-50 years ago. People must have some sort of psychological preference based on brand popularity and taste.
Affinity series are one of the lowest series so I wouldn't expect much. Besides, it's a starter pack. If you don't know anything about a bass, maybe you won't be "that" interested in the things you proposed. You just want to play. Now, if you have some experience with bass, you wouldn't choose an Affinity, for sure.
I just bought this exact bass used for $100. When I got it home I straightened the neck (had slight bow). lowered the action (strings were higher than I like), lowered the pickup height (too close to strings), and adjusted intonation. For a cheap bass I'm satisfied. I'm going to put flatwounds on it to get a more vintage sound.
Observations:
1. E string is not centered between the neck pickup's 2 magnets for that string. (Video shows this at 2:06.) When you thump with your thumb the E string hits one magnet with a metallic pop noise. Ouch. I had to lower the neck pickups substantially to get them far enough away from the strings so this doesn't happen. I don't know the spec for correct pickup height. I do know if pickup is too close to strings it interferes with sustain; too far and you reduce volume and tone quality.
2. Output jack is attached...how? Doesn't have the usual screw plate. Don't know how to detach if needed.
3. I have a real American Fender Jazz Deluxe V bass I bought in 2001 paid $1050. The PJ Squier does not match the real Fender jazz tone. Close but you can hear a difference.
Nice sun burst paint, look like 57 vintage p bass.
I suppose that the amplificator comes with the charge/electricity cable, or not?
I started out with a Squier P Bass pack nearly 20 years ago. I still have the bass, the amp died 2 or 3 years in.
i got this for christmas and i love it
I need to play at least a single instrument for my school clearance, so I chose the bass but where can I buy it in the philippines?
Watching this because I want to fing my dad a bass so we can jam with guitar and bass.
Are ther left hand version?
i simp for bass
Does the pack come with the power cable for the amp?
Yes
Can I use it in pro gigs?
I like PJ Basses because you can get the sound of a P Bass, Jazz Bass, and sorta of a stingray sound too
i’m looking to learn bass but am a bit apprehensive. is this good for someone who’s never played before?
Yeah it's great for beginners
First got one of these around 2 years ago but it just doesn’t sound like the way a bass should. I’ve tried fixing it several times but still not satisfied with the outcome. Please tell me where I went wrong 🙏 😭
As long as it's fender you're fine
🔥🔥🔥
Funny how they didn’t give you a pick 😂
Paroish no, no pick, pick bad
Why u need a pick for bass?
@@yya1443 I'm not a professional, but it's for playing
In the bass world: you’re lame if you use a pick
@@honeybuns2420 affirmative
I heard there are Active and Passive bass type. Which type of PJ is this?
passive
if i dont watch the video, i can literaly picture john mayer doing this
90 percent of the vide: YOU HAVE YOUR STRAP...
True
If I had money right now this is the first thing I would buy 😢
Learning how to play on an acoustic, steel-string guitar, but I found out that narrow-neck guitars aren't for me. My Yamaha acoustic has a nut width of 1.69 inches. The fleshy part of my finger tips keep hitting adjacent strings. So, I'll have to buy a classical acoustic guitar with nylon strings and a nut width of 2.0 inches or more. Anything narrower doesn't help me. I wish there was an affordable, name-brand electric guitar with a wider nut width.
Is this a passive or active bass?
I only have the amp... Sound good for the price
I laugh after he say your nut
COSMIC 21 and “here’s my D”
Wise choice
How much for the bass package?
Does it not come with a tuner? Mine did.
Do I need to stretch the strings when I tune the bass?
It's recommended.
Tune them up to pitch, then put your finger below the string, gently pull it away from the fretboard and run your finger through the entire length of the string about 2 times each.
Then tune them again and play for a bit, about 30 minutes and then tune again. After the third tuning, the strings should hold tuning. If not, the strings are bad at holding their tuning, or the bass is, but you can always tune them when you need to, you'll just have to do it more often.
@@darkySp thanks for the advice about tuning
3:23 What's holding the output jack on? How do you unfasten it?
Its like plugging headphones
@@sharppaper9302 I didn't ask how to plug it in.
@@mattfoley6082 then what
@@sharppaper9302 Huh?
@@mattfoley6082 wait, what?
How much does this guitar weigh? Does anyone know?
Probably the worst sunburst ive ever seen xD
Why?
@@fabianrr The way it fades, its just horrible. Just my opinion xD
@@wrongname3636 The sound?
That is a tobacco sunburst finish. It sometimes contrast with the black pickguard, if the finish is made with quality. Think of Stevie Ray Vaughan and his No.1 Strat.
@@M4RCM0NT31R0 Ok 😂🤙

3. I have a real American Fender Jazz Deluxe V bass I bought in 2001 paid $1050. The PJ Squier does not match the real Fender jazz tone (both pickups on). Close but you can hear a difference. With neck pickup only the PJ Squier sounds like a real Precision. With bridge pickup only it sounds different from a real Fender Jazz bridge pickup, to my ears. This may be because on the Squier PJ the bridge pickup is about a half inch closer to the bridge. I've learned that starting in about 1970 Fender moved the Jazz bridge pickup closer to the bridge. Then around 1980 they moved it away again. Obviously pickup position affects tone.
Do you recommend buying it as new?
@@diazriverajulieta4190 Only if you want to pay more.
0:57 TIP FOR BEGGINERS: GET READY TO USE THAT
There are a lot of videos on UA-cam to show you how to do setups
Hey you box them, WE unbox them!
In Brazil the price of a squier bass is a shame :/, it's really sad
They should of shown what it sounds like with the tone all the way up and down, how could you forget that?? It completely changes the feel of the sound. Although, I checked it from other peoples' videos and actually bought it this summer in that color, I had to wait 3 months. The tone for the p pickup is just amazing, whether you have full or no tone, that's subjective of course, the j pickup is great as well, especially with no tone I like it alot. Although, to make a better sound out of the p pickup, (at least for me) I had to raise the pickup closer to the strings a bit, to make a bigger sound, because it wouldn't make any difference at all when I turned it up or down (the tone) in sound, the fretboard was too dry, so I put some oil and changed the angle of the fretboard as well (my bass teacher actually adjusted it, don't try it yourself, if you don't know how). I'd say it's worth the money for sure. Just those little adjustments I said before and it's perfect. Except for the bag and the strap, those kinda suck. Also, don't forget to make your own adjustments to the amp (btw it's good), learn what each of the switches does. Last, be careful with your cable, because when you put it on the bass, it creates a long diagonal that you have to make room for, otherwise it will bend and that's kinda bad. Btw, I have just destroyed that cable so sometimes if I change my position it might make a huge hum, but that can be fixed by buying a right-angled cable, in order to avoid bending it. One more edit, if you want to tune your bass with an app from your phone, turn off the the tone and the p pickup and turn on the j pickup, that is more easily heard by the apps, because it's more clear as a sound (that's for the j pickup in general).
I also got a question about that guy, is he actually a bass player, or a guitar player? Because he plays with only one finger, as if he's a beginner
you also forgot to say something important, did you like it?
@@World.21 There you go
Thank youu for taking the time to give a detailed answer, i don' really have who can do those adjustment for me here i hope i wont have to at least in the beginning
@@World.21 No problem
Also can u tell me when u slide are the frets sharp or smooth?
