I’m going to start by saying I’ve been playing bass for just shy of 40 years. I own over a dozen other basses in varying price ranges, and have built a couple of my own.I got my Debut because in all these years I have never owned a straight up Precision Bass, they’ve always been P/J, J/J or some other pickup configuration.The price was right and other reviews were very favorable. This one will be as well.I was very impressed with the build quality of a bass of this price point. The satin finish is very smooth and the two tone sunburst just looks fantastic. The hardware is of good quality as well. The tuners, while not the greatest, hold the strings in tune and are classically designed. The bridge is adjustable for the string action and intonation. The ceramic pickups are well constructed and deliver a great tone. The controls are the traditional P Bass controls consisting of simple volume and tone. The round wound strings deliver a bright tone and don’t feel too harsh on the fingers.I played this through a Fender Rumble 25 and a 79 Fender Bassman, both amplifiers complimented the tone of this bass.The set up from the factory was impressive. The intonation was pretty much dead on accurate and I only adjusted the string height to my personal preference.The weight of this bass came in at 8lbs 7oz. The weight was balanced and didn’t have the typical neck dive as lighter basses sometimes display. The fretwork is well done and the neck has a very nice feel with the nut at 38mm or 1 1/2 inches.All in all it’s a great bass for a beginner.This is also a great platform for someone looking for a bass to mod.Squier really came through with a very affordable beginner bass. It is an excellent instrument for its price point.I would recommend their Sonic Series or their Affinity Series for a higher grade level of quality, but at this price, they’re may be others (and I have tried them in this price range) but the Squier Debut is the best of them in my opinion.It’s a great beginner bass with the backing of a brand name company and excellent customer service.
