I like my Squire too, but I mainly just play on my Ibanez 300E. Now that I have the Spectra JS2, I am playing this more…

Yeah! I like it a lot!!!
Blue Burst looks AWESOME! I love the blue! 
If I got the Blue Burst I probably wouldn’t put stickers on it and would have to get another bass.

Thanks! I didn’t want to go to overboard with it, but I wanted to personalize it with stuff I like (my interests).

Get another bass once I finish the course…
My wife will flatline me…
Thanks! I was trying not to get too crazy with it.
I am lucky I still had the vinyl stickers of my daughter and me left over and they were the right size to put on the bass.
I like the blue too … I like what you did with the sticker job
and yer right the Jackson Spectra is a good sounding bass

Yes, but he put a preamp in it, so he’s cheating a little bit

Perhaps it may be a bit of cheat, but the point remains - he’s playing a Squire.
Its not an expensive bass and pre amp on or off it sounds very nice, but also it shows the new people they don’t need to spend large to have a good sound.
My new neck Squire hasn’t stopped me from continuously looking at and buying expensive basses but it has really made me consider some far less costing basses for the collection. I did a full set up on it last night and dialed it in near perfect and then played for a couple of hours and loved it.
Sometimes you just need a P bass…
A P bass has been called a one trick pony, but its a really good trick.

Sounds tone to cheap to upgrade. 2 basses separate by a few thousands can sound almost the same with just a C note or two it will bet within 80% of the premium sound and definitely can’t really tell in a blind test even side by side.
What separates the premiums to the cheap and cheerful is the aesthetic and feel. If you have the skills and touch you can make them feel pretty close with a lot of hours spent by hand sanding and address the imperfections most times you can tell by just touching and holding the bass.
These examples are basses that look almost identical sound almost identical but a few thousands bucks difference.

Yo Buddy, I take what you say as, ‘the way’, you know what’s up… In fact I was just on the phone finding out if the pedal in the Katana 110 promo video came with the amp, the answer was no. Its a separate purchase, however I’m not sure the rep at the store was clear with the info and said this is what the pedal is, Foot Controller for Roland CUBE Amps 40GX and 80GX, Hmmmmmmmmm?
Do you know the pedal in the video, and did you get one?

That’s a very pretty instrument, like the matching headstock. The pickguard is just right too, it seems common these days to slam a torty plate on anything, most times they look a total mis match.

Josh is playing a Squier for YouTube videos, but he has previously stated he does so to more closely relate to a beginner type of experience. It is neither his go-to nor preferred axe.

It does send the right message though, that being you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to learn to play

It’s a good thing to show an inexpensive bass sounding good for newer people and anyone who blames the bass for their own quality of play.
Above all I say get the basses you love that give you inspiration.
