Honey, They Shrunk the P Bass!

Scaled-down for younger players, the Squier Mini Precision Bass delivers the stellar P Bass look and sound in a compact, poplar body and shorter than short-scale maple neck. And, like its big brother, the Mini Precision Bass pumps out the familiar P Bass tone through its split single-coil pickup. It’s been said that bass players aren’t born, they’re made. Just kidding, no one’s ever said that. But, if your kiddo is a little groove monster in the making, you can’t go wrong sticking a Squier Mini Precision Bass in their hands. For parents at Sweetwater, the Squier Mini guitars and basses, including the Mini Precision Bass, are a go-to-choice when selecting an instrument for their aspiring musicians. Start them out right with a great instrument made just for them!

A Precision Bass, only smaller

A rock ‘n’ roll icon, the original P Design was inspired by the Fender Stratocaster’s contoured double-horn body. The Mini Precision Bass keeps the shape but shrinks it down to nearly three-quarters of its original size, perfect for younger players. Beyond that, it’s a P through and through, decked out in chrome knobs, a rock-solid hardtail bridge, and a vintage-style single-ply pickguard, so there’s no mistaking its heritage.

Timeless split single-coil tone

A workhorse in the studio and on the stage, the P Bass has a legendary tone, owing to its split single-coil pickup design. The pint-sized Mini Precision Bass pumps out that big classic sound — fat low-end, punchy mids, and crisp highs. With a single volume knob and single tone knob, the Mini Precision Bass has plenty of tonal variation, whether you want to stand out from the band or tuck in behind the drummer and help hold down the groove.

Comfy neck for kiddo-sized hands

The Mini Precision Bass’s diminutive neck measures in at 28.6-inches, nearly two inches shorter than a typical short-scale bass. And, featuring a comfortable “C” shape profile and satin urethane finish, it’s incredibly easy to move around on — especially for smaller hands. Capped with lively laurel fingerboard decorated with pearloid dot inlays, the Mini Precision bass’s neck is as sharp-looking as it is great-sounding.

Squire PBass Mini

Very nice little bass I upgraded to high mass tail piece Flat wound strings and Seymore Duncan Quarter pound pickups & antique ivory pearl pick guard added some strap locks really enjoying this little bass
Rated 5/5

Mini Precision

I like short scales and this one caught my interest especially after seeing a video showing how it would sound with the DiMarzio Relentless Pickups. I got this bass with the intention of doing a few mods. I had GHS Precision Flats installed and the DiMarzio Relentless Pickups and I'm quite happy with the results. One important thing about these pickups is that the screws that they come with are too long and will go through the body so just use a correct size and it's ok. I'll include the video here.

LOVE. THIS. MINI. P !!!

I mainly play Precisions and, quite honestly, I just wanted this in my collection. But I'm writing this review for anyone who wants to get their kid a QUALITY starter bass. The tuners stay in tune, the bridge is solid, the fretwork is near perfect (no filing needed), knurled flat-top knobs (not domed), and he pickup is stock Squier Affinity split P. It's a great travel bass or a perfect starter. I'm even thinking about modding a Jazz pickup in there to make a mini P/J bass. GET THIS !!!!! See side-by-side pic for size.

A mini beast

Bought this bass guitar for studio recording, great bass sounds and really enjoyed playing it. Thanks to Nick Blough for the excellent service.

My new main Bass

I was a little skeptical of the ratings given the size and price but this thing sounds like a P bass. I paid extra for the SW setup and that comes with new strings and now it plays like a $ bass. I've seen lots of mods for this bass but its sounds great stock. I plan to gig with it this summer. As for the size, its really about preference, if you have small hands or if you're a guitarist that wants a fast neck this is a good option.
