An Affinity Designed as an Entry Point into the Precision Universe

Within the Squier by Fender range, the Affinity series is designed to capture the iconic Fender aesthetic and essential ergonomics, with accessible playability. This Precision Bass PJ follows the P Bass codes (legendary shape, balanced on strap) while adding a Jazz-type pickup at the bridge: a highly appreciated choice to expand the tonal palette, from rock to funk, without complicating the instrument.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This electric bass is especially aimed at beginners and intermediate players seeking a versatile 4-string, easy to set up and comfortable for long playing sessions. The Precision neck pickup delivers a dense and present low end, ideal for rock, pop, punk, and anything requiring a solid bottom. The Jazz bridge pickup adds attack and precision for funk, groove, and more articulated lines.

The Sound

The poplar body contributes to a balanced and direct response, with good impact in the low-mid range. The maple fingerboard enhances attack clarity and note definition, useful for cutting through a mix. Regarding pickups, the PJ configuration features a ceramic neck Precision-style pickup (noted as humbucking) for a powerful foundation, complemented by a ceramic single-coil Jazz Bass bridge pickup for more bite and definition. The Volume/Volume/Tone controls allow fine blending between warmth and brightness without complicated settings.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay within original specifications, opt for a 4-string electric bass string set in long scale 34" / 863.6 mm, ideally with gauges around .045-.105 (nickel-plated steel). A tuner and a standard strap will perfectly complete the setup for rehearsals and gigs.
