Want it.

edit: Composite body!? The fuck Squier? Charging more for a bass made out of plastic.

Where do you see that? The specs for the Jazz bass say:

Body Material: Alder

Body Finish: Polyurethane

Body Shape: Jazz BassÂ®

Huh, so are these basically like the replacements for what used to be a typical MIM Fender? I walked into GC the other day to check out some Squirers and was amazed to see that the Standard series is a lot nicer than it used to be, and that some Fender models are made in China now

On the Nevada music web page:

The Squier Affinity Jazz Bass features a composite body with a polyurethane finish (an exact copy of the Fender's dimensions) and a Maple C-shaped neck with Rosewood fingerboard.

i saw something like this about a month ago at guitar center, except they had lipsticks in them, and they were shortscale..... but they were deff shell pink, and a daphne blue sort of color. tho the finish on the neck rivaled that of my j.s. really really really nice finish.

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Fri May 03, 2013 2:19 pm

you thinking of the squier surf strat. not shortscale though.

I've had so much Strat lust lately, and this is just fueling the fire. DO WANT SHELL PANK.

brainfur · Post by **brainfur** » Fri May 03, 2013 2:47 pm

i want shell pink too but i dont want the dry-ass sharp fret neck that the affinitys have! if they brought the neck up to VM standards i'd be all over it tho

I think they mean it's made from several pieces rather than plastic.

brainfur · Post by **brainfur** » Fri May 03, 2013 3:37 pm

2 pieces of wood and 1 piece of plastic probably
