What to Know Before Buying Your First Bass


Solid construction, fast-fretting maple neck





The Squier Sonic Bronco Bass has a shorter 30-inch scale length for comfortable playability. Players new to the bass and veterans of the instrument will enjoy this shorter scale length. Combined with a “C”-shaped neck and 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, the Sonic Bronco will coax you into hours of playing without a hint of fatigue. The fingerboard is adorned with 19 narrow-tall nickel frets that let you slide easily from note to note. Lastly, the die-cast sealed tuning machines and 4-saddle hardtail bridge keep your tuning locked down rock solid.





Ceramic single-coils add the kick





It goes without saying that this bucking Bronco’s got a little kick in its step. Strap this bass on, dial it up to 10, and you’ll harness the power of its Ceramic single-coil pickup. Squier saddled this puppy into the poplar body and let it run to provide its players with high output and plenty of bright, rich, smooth tone. Squier kept this bass looking clean by equipping you with the necessities: one control for volume and one for tone. Thanks to the extra heft, these ceramic magnets come in handy when connecting to multi-effect pedals or a USB recording interface.
