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!

Finally, the ideal tuner has arrived. The Fender Ft-1 is easy to use, unobtrusive, and has a great-looking design. Working off a built-in vibration sensor, the Ft-1 keeps the outside noise out by working off the vibration of your guitar. With a super easy-to-read LCD display, you can find the sweet spot even in the darkest of rooms. The FT-1 has a dual-hinge design which means you can mount this tuner on either side of your instrument's headstock ? acoustic, mandolin, even banjo ? the Ft-1 can be put on just about any instrument. Multi-instrumentalists here at Sweetwater love the design and ease-of-use of the Ft-1.
