Re: What makes a Squire "Affinity" bass "Affinity"
Specs often change on the lower end Squiers.
Years ago, Affinity used to mean a thin plywood body, and they were heavy as hell because of it. I think they are solid now.
Even the ones that appear to have "no finish" on the neck do have a very thin matte sealer IME. I have the Strat Mini, and it's like this.
Take a Affinity neck, take it for a fret leveling and dressing and an edge roll. Have a handmade nut installed. Spray some lacquer or poly over it, or apply even as few as three or four coats of TruOil. You've got a fine neck that won't get dirty like the factory Affinity necks do.
