Recently I bought a pile of gear and trown in was Squire P-Bass and a small Behringer practice amp. I am in a couple bands and I figured the practice amp would be good to leave at rehearsals. I was surprised it is louder and sounds better than I would have thought. The big surprise was the Squire P-Bass. It was unplayable when I got it, but I figured I could use it to adjust my first truss rod. One good FULL TURN on the truss and that neck is damn near perfect. The bass sounds surprisingly good and is very playable. It will never take the place of my Ric, but I will keep it as a spare. I was positive from what I had heard about adjusting the truss that I would have went too far, but it was what the thing needed. With the deal I got, that bass was a freebie. The gig bag is not the best, but I have seen much worse.
