    My recommendation for any instrument is don’t listen to what anyone tells you, just pick it up see how it feels and if you like how it sounds. Every guitar is different even same models can have different feels/sounds.

      Yeah but as a beginner, you don’t know what sounds good, or what you like. That’s why a lot of people want recommendations that explain why one instrument could be better for them

      ​@@officialhugomoreno You do know what sounds good, what sounds good is just a sound you like, you don't need any experience to tell if you prefer 1 sound over another.
      Figuring out what you like as in feel is a little more complex, and makes recommendations a little more necessary, obviously going to a music store and picking up instruments to get hands experience is a solution, but if you don't know how to play there could be unforseen hangups, and even the act of actually getting into a music store can be a barrier.
      Basically getting recommendations can be welcome but feel free to disregard them entirely for literally any reason, I for example don't care for the P bass at all.

    I've been playing for 40 years and recently bought 2. 1 for flats and 1 for rounds. Cheap, quality, j bass nut, decent tone. What's not to love.

    It’s a good choice and a good mod platform

    I always recommend those or Ibanez
    I started on an Ibanez and stuck with them for a long time before switching to a Fender P bass
    Some of those squires sound really good especially for the price

    That’s a great pic, I play the Jazz bass but both are bedrock they stand alone from Bach to any modern bass

    Any sire bass is a better option

      But cost much more. These are like 190 bucks.

      Disagree I have a Sire V3 and a Sonic P. The Squier was infinitely better out of the box and half the price. £100 on mods and I'd put it against any MiM P bass.

      Get one custom made with a specially designed with a 7 string, headless, multiscale, true temperament version of the famous transtrem that EVH used on occasion in combination with multiscale, true temperament stainless steel frets, body and neck contours based on your body shape, custom made pickups to your exact specs with coil tapping, onboard equalizer knobs like on a bass, and a custom compensated nut that also uses the zeroglide nut system made from elk antler, and, for good measure, a treble bleed circut and a kill switch. put some carbon fiber reinforcement on that and use wood from the forest that Stradivarius got his wood from and you should be good to go. You could throw onboard effects on there too if you want to really be able to do anything on such a guitar
