James Johnston Signature Squier Jazz Bass first impressions

Post by Freethenoise »

Hey guys,

I've never listened to Biffy Clyro or whatever else James Johnston might be in, I honestly had no idea who he was before I tried this bass out in a store the other day.

What really drew me to it in the store was the colour and matching headstock. Matching headstocks give me the vapors.

Action is low, but not super low.
The brass bridge saddles are a really nice touch.

The only thing I kind of have a complaint about is that the edges of the pickguard near the cavities are really crappily done. I'll get some close up photos soon of what I mean.

I recorded these couple of clips direct into my interface using a free VST bass driver. I'm not really much of a bassist, I bought this for recording solo stuff and it's perfect for me in that regard.

When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts
