hey this is gloria estrada in this video we're going to talk about the squier bronco base
we'll talk about what kind of music you can play with it talk through some of the features
and i'll play a few examples for you in 1951
fender introduced the very first electric base the precision base the squier bronco base shares
many of the same features as the first precision base in a smaller package that delivers classic
fender-based tone it's the perfect instrument to get you started on bass
the bronco base is lightweight and the neck is shorter than your average base
making it easier to play and reach all of the notes especially for a new player or a player
with smaller hands it has one squier pickup for clear and versatile bass tones what's a pickup
the pickup converts the string vibrations into a signal that runs out of the output jack
and into the base amplifier this is what makes the base electric you can pretty
much play any style of music with the bronco base rock punk blues country and so much more
it has a master volume and a master tone control to adjust the sound the volume control adjusts
the overall volume or loudness of the bass and the tone control adjusts the eq or tone of the
bass making it brighter or darker so let's check out some more sounds with my volume
and tone knobs rolled all the way up we have a crisp clear sound perfect for most modern styles
if i roll the toe knob back about halfway some of that bite softens for a more mellow low end sound
great for r b reggae jazz or anything else really
now when i roll the toe knob all the way down we've got a tone that is perfect for recreating
some of the classic motown sounds from when the electric bass was just getting started
thanks for tuning in the squier bronco base with its lightweight body
short scale and big tone is ready for any player looking for their first base for more information
