Squier by FENDER - Sonic Bronco Bass Black

Forget massive instruments that weigh down your shoulder during three hours of rehearsal; with its lightweight poplar body and slimline Bronco Bass shape, this black version of Squier by Fender handles with ease. The short 30-inch (762 mm) scale reduces string tension, making it much easier to play fast bass lines or complex chords without straining your phalanges. It's the perfect tool for recording demos in the studio or for a young prodigy just starting out.

Comfort doesn't stop at the dimensions of the chassis. Squier has opted for a maple neck with a C-profile and a satin urethane finish, avoiding that sticky, unpleasant feeling when sliding. The Indian laurel fingerboard has a 9.5-inch radius and houses 19 Narrow Tall frets for ultra-clear note precision. Whether you're playing energetic punk or velvety pop, the single-coil ceramic pickup delivers organic clarity that emerges from any mix.

As for the mechanics, stability is the key to avoiding false notes in the middle of a gig. The sealed tuners and fixed bridge with 4 standard bridges work together to maintain rigorous intonation. The synthetic bone saddle optimises the transmission of vibrations from the nickel-plated steel strings (.045-.105) to the wood. With its chrome hardware and knurled flat-top controls, this bass is sure to stand up to the rigours of future tours.
