The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your Squier Bass Deserves It
Squier basses are celebrated worldwide for their out-of-the-box playability, largely due to their comfortable neck profiles and highly contoured bodies. However, because these instruments are crafted from real, highly responsive solid tonewoods, they naturally breathe and shift during transit. Changes in temperature, humidity, and string tension during their journey to our showroom can cause subtle shifts in neck relief, saddle heights, and pickup balance.
At MusicStreet, we treat every Squier with the utmost care. We perform a **complimentary £75 professional workshop setup** on every single Squier bass we sell. Our expert luthiers adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots, precision-balance the bridge saddles, set the pickup heights, and polish the frets to ensure your new instrument plays with a comfortable, buzz-free low action straight out of the box.
🔧 Free £75 Professional Setup
Every Squier bass is individually set up in our in-house workshop. We adjust the action, intonation, and neck relief to match your playing style, ensuring it plays perfectly straight out of the box.
🛡️ 12-Month Warranty
We stand behind every instrument we sell. All of our Squier bass guitars come with a full 12-month warranty, giving you complete peace of mind with your purchase.
🚚 Free UK Delivery & 14-Day Returns
Get free, fully insured UK shipping on all orders over £99. If the bass isn't the perfect fit for your hands, return it to us within 14 days for a hassle-free refund or exchange.
The Squier Legacy: Fender-Designed Heritage & Unbeatable Value
What makes Squier bass guitars so highly regarded in the global bass community is their direct connection to Fender's legendary heritage. Squier doesn't just copy Fender designs; they build them under Fender's strict quality guidelines. This means you get the exact same body contours, pickup placements, and neck profiles that have defined popular music since the 1950s. Explore our core offerings:
Classic Vibe Series
The modern standard for fast-playing performance. The **Squier Classic Vibe bass** series is a massive favorite among gigging pros. Paying homage to Fender's golden eras (the '50s, '60s, and '70s), these basses feature vintage-tinted gloss necks, Fender-designed alnico pickups, and period-correct aesthetics that look, feel, and sound incredibly close to their vintage counterparts.
Affinity Series
Vintage heart meets modern reliability. The **Squier Affinity bass** range is the perfect gateway into the Fender family. Engineered with thin, lightweight bodies, comfortable "C"-shaped neck profiles, and versatile pickup configurations, the Affinity series offers superb playability and modern reliability for developing players.
Sonic Series & Pre-Owned
German-engineered low-end. Replacing the legendary Bullet range, the Squier Sonic series represents the most accessible entry point into the lineup. These basses feature ultra-lightweight construction, slim necks, and simple, intuitive controls, making them the ultimate choice for absolute beginners. We also stock a constantly rotating selection of certified pre-owned Squier basses. Explore our used range in our Pre-Owned Collection or view the parent Bass Guitars collection.
