New bass and amp day!
Never played bass before! When I started guitar about 12-13 years ago I got a squier starter pack guitar to begin. My wife has alway gone on about learning bass so I got her an encore bass starter pack. She's never played it of course! It's been sitting around for a while so I've been having a go here and there. Definitely a guitarist playing bass!!
I've decided to give it a go and have been playing the encore for a couple of months here and there through a "smokey amps" linked to a spare cab. Really enjoyed it and with my birthday coming up next week I've decided to get a proper starter rig to learn.
So I've gone for the newly released squier classic vibe 60s jazz bass in daphne blue. For amp I've selected the orange crush bass 50w. Having some great fun learning tracks and playing along with these two.

That tort plate is a really nice colour - they always look cheap when they're that more typical far-east orange/brown colour, but that's a proper darker colour. The chrome covers do impede playing a bit, which is why 95%+ of players always took them off even when they came as stock, so I wouldn't bother personally even though they do look cool.

For me, the tell tale indicator of Cheepnis is the three-ply tort/white/black plastic where there ought to be a fourth (white) ply.
It's still stuck though, I saw the guitar again recently and you can't tell the guard wasn't made like that.

They can also add a pound in weight to the bass, and they get in the way.
