Our take on the Squier By Fender Affinity Series Precision Bass

The Squier Affinity Series Precision Bass is Fender's entry-level take on the P-Bass, the four-string workhorse heard on countless rock, punk and pop records. It pairs a split-coil pickup with a slim C-shape maple neck and a 20-fret maple board, so it plays fast and sounds like a Precision should. It suits beginners and budget-minded players who want a familiar body shape and upgrade-friendly platform. Against its main rival, the Sterling by Music Man SUB StingRay, it trades the StingRay's active humbucker for a simpler passive split-coil tone with less to go wrong.

Questions and answers

Is the Squier Affinity Precision Bass good for beginners?
Yes. The slim neck, light body and passive electronics make it easy to learn on. Plan on a professional setup if the action feels high.
How does it compare with the Squier Classic Vibe Precision Bass?
The Classic Vibe has better hardware, a vintage-style pickup and a gloss neck, but it is heavier and more expensive. The Affinity is the lighter, simpler choice.
Does it need a battery?
No. The split-coil pickup is passive, so there is no battery compartment and nothing to recharge.
What comes in the box?
Just the bass. No gig bag, strap, cable or tuner is included, so budget for those separately.
Can I upgrade the pickup and hardware?
Yes. It uses standard P-Bass pickup routes and common bridge and tuner sizes, so aftermarket parts fit with little or no modification.
Is the maple fretboard hard to maintain?
Not really. Wipe it down after playing and oil it occasionally; the light finish shows dirt more than rosewood does.
