This cabinet also features a conical 80º HF horn with a high-frequency attenuator, so the output can be adjusted as needed to ensure a tight and present bass sound, no matter the situation.

Stripping everything right back to set up a solid four-string for the student bassist, the short-scale Squier Bronco Bass takes a Fender classic and shaves down the weight, making it more comfortable than ever. The solid poplar body isn't just ultra-lightweight but ultra-thin, while the reduced 30 inch scale length doesn't just mean that this model is physically shorter, but pushes the frets closer together to ease fret reach and lower the string tension to make holding notes that bit easier.The Squier Sonic Bronco Bass: The Wee BeastSquier's version of the Bronco comes loaded with one single-coil pickup with a ceramic magnet. This classic setup lays down a sweet and punching bass sound that can be bent to your will via the set of master tone and master volume controls. Smooth playability is also assured by the C-profile of the maple neck, which combines with a super-narrow 38.1mm-wide nut to support fast and nimble fret navigation and complete a more-than-solid beginner model or backup bass.
