Today's entry is my Squier Precision Bass, made in Japan in 1987.



I bought this one because I needed something more reliable than the Hondo Explorer, and besides the Hondo looked a little too "metal" for the bands I was in. For all of the 90's it was my number 1 bass, which included a stint around '95-'97 where I was the bassist in a band called Allen Wrench.

I bought this around 1990 for $100 from the drummer in Camp 7 (the guy in the Hondo pictures above), along with an old chipboard case I've since replaced with a hardshell. In the late 90's I found a MIM Fender Jazz bass for $250 (w/ohsc) and those 2 are currently my main basses, I go back and forth between them fairly evenly.
