Squier Sonic Bronco Arctic White

Bought as a backup for my main bass this little gem soon won me over. Many decades ago I played a 70s Fender Musicmaster and the Bronco was like putting on a comfortable pair of slippers. Not a brilliant sound with the standard Strat pickup fitted but the short scale gave back the abilities that my arthritic old hands had lost. OK, out of the box, it's a plain Jane with an adequate performance and a good enough finish. The neck is a modern easy profile the adjustable bridge is as good as a Fender and the machine heads/tuners are good enough as they are. If it's your first bass at around £160 new you can't go wrong and if like me age has slowed you down an excellent basis for upgrading with a decent bass pickup to give it the Thump and tonal range it deserves. The bridge and tuners are good enough so don't waste your money on changing them. I changed the cheapo plastic nut for a readily available bone nut for a few pounds and fitted a quality bass pickup and now use it as my go-to bass. Anything else would be purely for cosmetic purposes.
