Use a Soundwave 35 for practic

Bought it just to have a cheap beater, but soon fell in love with the overall feel of it.
Once I set it up, it plays great.
Pickups are a little weak, and have the typical single coil hum, but that's to be expected on a <$200 instrument. No complaints.
I love the variety of tone the pickups are capable of. Much more versatile than the P or J Bass.
So far, no trouble at all.
I would replace this in a second.

This is the Crossbone version on the M. The knobs are all out of the way, and it's very simple in effect.
The neck is nice and thin. The strings seem a little high, but that may have been my doing, and it hasn't hurt the tone or reach.
Depending on the amp, this thing has got range for days. It will sound however you want it to sound.
Pretty tough. I had it touched up with skull knobs and a strap that says "Police Line Do Not Cross". Weighs very nice on the neck.
In my price range i checked out a couple fenders, the other squier's (pbass 4 and 5 strings). this bass could be better if the knobs stayed on :), quality pickups and came with better strings but now i am asking too much. for the price you can't go wrong

Rosewood fretboard. 22 fretboard with 4 strings. the factory strings are crappy fender strings so buy new ones. silver gloss finish. the body looks like a ibanez bass. 2 style pickups (jazz and pickup). active electronics on this puppy. 3 knobs (volume, panning pickups and tone)
I play a variety of types of music and the dual pickups obivously enhance the performance. the neck is great and i prefer it to the squier Pbasses ANYDAY. no flaws yet for me. in this price range you can't expect perfection tho so i will keep u posted.
I use a squier bp15 amp. clear sound with slight buzz but just turn down the tone. i play rock, jazz, instrumental and all sound great. holds well with slapping and finer picking but sounds crappy with plectrums. the pickups make it sound better than the Pbass
I bounce around and play crazy and it holds well. one knob fell off 3 days after purchase. so thats a bit bad but thats it
