NBD: Squier Precision

Re: NBD: Squier Precision

Playing light gauge strings doesn’t make it easier to play for me.

After all this time of playing an adjustable instrument with a plethora of choices for things like string gauge or action height, I’ll never understand why people don’t get that not everybody likes the same thing.

But JB - he gives lessons....

We have a guy who uses the low B string tuned up to E on a 4 string. If you can't hear the difference in tone you are deaf. It has a serious power/ring/foundation about it that the standard string size just doesn't. I prefer middle of the road myself.

I traded my ex-bro in law an old compound bow for a Squier P-bass. Picking it up tonight, but he sent me a pic. Black, rosewood board, P/J pickups. This is only the second bass I’ve owned, the first being an old USA Peavey Foundation J-copy.

I’m sure it needs restrung, so what’s the bass equivalent of 11-50? 45-105? I like the aggressive Geddy Lee, Les Claypool style of playing.

For bass, you can just wash the strings.

WD-40, then rinse with kerosene, then rubbing alcohol


Throw em in a plastic container and stir em around in that.
