The Iconic Short Scale in the Affordable Squier Sonic Range
Designed for immediate inspiration, the Squier Sonic Bronco continues the legacy of Fender's short scale basses, featuring the iconic Bronco format and simple yet effective choices. The spirit: lightweight, simplicity, reliability, and a confident pop/rock style in a "Daphne Blue" finish with a white pickguard.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
This Bronco is perfect for beginners, those with small hands, and guitarists wanting to start playing bass. Its short scale reduces string tension for comfortable playing. It excels in pop, rock, indie, punk/garage, and old-school funk lines where a round, responsive low end without complicated electronics is desired.
Sound
The ceramic single-coil pickup in the neck position delivers a direct, bright, and "punchy" sound with articulated mids and a clear high end. The Master Volume/Master Tone circuit allows quick darkening or brightening of the tone. The 30" scale length provides roundness and a smooth playing feel, while the poplar body and maple neck/laurel fingerboard balance attack and warmth. The 4-saddle bridge ensures consistent sustain and precise intonation adjustment.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain performance and tuning stability: short scale bass string set (30") in .045-.105, short scale bass gigbag/case (Bronco/Mustang format), universal bass strap, and clip-on tuner. These accessories respect the short scale length and 38.1 mm nut width for an optimal fit.
