Product Description
The Squier Bronco Bass is great for guitarists who occasionally need a bass, younger beginners, smaller players, or for anyone who likes the feel of a short-scale (30") bass. It tunes easily and sounds full and rich, thanks to its single-coil pickup, maple neck, die-cast tuners and solid agathis body.

I have had this bass for about 3 years now, and I must say, it's a very sturdy, and easy to use bass. you have beginners who have tempers?? well get this for sure!! It's a short-necked bass, so it makes it easier to play for smaller people. I got mine used and the only problems with it were loose connections in the inside, and a stripped screw on the pickup. I fixed both of those, and it sounds great!!
It's definately not for pros though, if you have a lot of experience in bass playing, then this probably isn't for you. Distortion isn't great either; it has one coil, and it doesn't handle distortion very well...
All in all, this is an excellent bass, and it is a great starter bass too...

Yeah, in stock form the pickup is crap and the playability is probably all over the place. But it is essentially a blank canvas. Squier has been using very, very good wood lately (agathis body, not basswood in this) and the frets are cut nice and smooth, so this is a prime candidate if I ever saw one...
Here's what you do:
- Find a stratocaster-sized rail pickup and wire it in - it's a perfect fit. Preferebly a Duncan Cool Rails or Hot Rails neck.
- Change out the electronics (new pots, input jack, wiring, push-pull if you get a splitable rails pickup to have some versatility).
- Change the nut from plastic to Bone/TUSQ (p-bass sized nuts work on this, no special sizing besides being flat).
- Set it up with heavier strings, add some relief and set the action low.
Enjoy a bass that rivals basses 3x the price and is short scale to boot. You'll have a bass cheaper than the Musicmaster (overpriced or hard to get) and be inclined to play a bass that is shorter-scale and more fun! Did I mention that the upgraded pickups makes this bass sound warm and heavenly? Oh yeah...it does.
How do I know this? Because I did the above mods to my Bronco and now I love it. I can't put it down :-D
Don't know how to do any of this? Learn!!!

I picked up this bass thinking a short scale would help me out (I'm a female with smaller hands). My instructor about killed me! The single pick-up was terrible and NOT gig-worthy. Save a little more money, and do your homework before shelling out money for a bass.
