I just commented on your unboxing video. I want to add this has a narrow neck with a38mm nut. So it’s basically like the P bass with a Jazz neck. The thinner and lighter body gives it a great feel too. Another great video!
Hi, thanks for reviewing this bass guitar. I wanted to ask you: have you noticed an imbalance in the neck? Does it lean forward? Some say that the neck weighs more than the body. What do you think?
There is a little bit, the body on all Squier Debut and Sonic (formerly Bullet) models will be a little bit thinner than the higher priced models, and therefore, lighter. Add the longer and heavier neck of a bass to that equation, and you will get some neck dive. I will say it's not too bad for me, very rarely notice it happening. But I mostly play seated, so your experience may differ. You may consider the Jackson JS1 bass as well, as I have used that extensively and I think the balance is slightly better if you can forgive the metal aesthetic. Price point is generally similar. Great question, thanks for asking and stopping by!
Read on a message board from someone who bought the bass, that his pickups were placed a bit differently than most other P-basses, do you have one you can compare it with?
Interesting! Unfortunately I do not, this is my first Fender/Squier P-Bass. I do have a similar Jackson JS1M, but I'm not sure that would be a decent comparison either. I'll have to look into that, this is new info! Thanks!
Yes, the pickups are about 1/4 in closer to the neck than a standard P bass. If you’re looking to change pick guards just check the pickup routing pocket to make sure you can reposition them.

I did not realize that, but it makes a ton of sense because that neck feels great and I love Jazz basses! Thanks for the info! 😁

@Klaudio64 You have a great day as well!
Thank you for this video
Thank you for stopping by! 😁
For a low end squire, it sounds pretty gnarly
Indeed!

@@SlydeBytes you'll find the thread if you google "NBD Squier Debut Series…"

🤣 I'd be lying if I said that hadn't crossed my mind, but I didn't detect any odor on the box, fortunately
