Squier Beginner Bass Guitars...
Quality Electric Bass Guitars At An Affordable Price

Frank Bello Jazz Bass

Squier beginner bass guitars are a great choice for the beginning bass guitarist. When you're starting out, you don't need professional level equipment and you definitely don't need to spend the thousands of dollars it takes to get yourself set up with a professional rig. You do, however, need good quality equipment because you need good sound and good playability. Poor quality equipment will play horribly and sound crappy. It will most likely discourage you to the point that you'll give up because you don't realize that the problem is with the equipment and not with you.

Squier beginner bass guitars are the perfect answer. Squier has been owned by Fender since 1965 and since the early 1980's has been producing high quality, affordable versions of Fender's famous Precision Bass and Jazz Bass electric bass guitar models. Any Squier model would make a good bass guitar for the beginner, however, I recommend spending $400 or less on your first bass guitar. With a Squier you can get a great bass guitar in this price range. The models listed below are by no means all the available Squier by Fender bass models, but they do all fall in my suggested price range.

Check these beauties out and enjoy.
