Squier Sonic Bronco Bass Guitar - Black

Compact, approachable and easy to play, the Squier Sonic Bronco Bass delivers classic Fender-inspired tone in a short-scale design that feels instantly comfortable. A lightweight poplar body keeps the bass well balanced, while a slim “C”-shaped maple neck with a narrow 1.5" nut width supports relaxed fretting and confident hand positioning. The 30" short scale length reduces string tension for a smoother feel, making the Bronco Bass especially inviting for players with smaller hands or those moving from guitar to bass. A ceramic single-coil pickup provides clear, punchy response with focused low end, giving this bass a voice that locks in easily with drums and rhythm guitars.

Ceramic Single-Coil Pickup With Focused Clarity

The Sonic Bronco Bass features a ceramic single-coil pickup that delivers crisp articulation and punchy attack. Its focused output highlights note definition and dynamics, helping basslines remain clear and supportive in a mix. From steady groove work to simple melodic runs, this pickup provides a consistent and reliable tonal foundation.

30" Short Scale for Comfortable, Relaxed Feel

A 30" short scale length shortens the reach between frets and lowers string tension, making the fretboard easier to navigate. This design is especially beneficial for beginners, younger players or guitarists transitioning to bass. The shorter scale also contributes to a warm, rounded tonal character while maintaining a responsive feel during longer playing sessions.

Simple Controls for Easy Tone Shaping

Master volume and master tone controls keep adjustments intuitive and immediate. Knurled flat-top knobs allow for quick changes, whether you want added brightness or a smoother, rolled-off sound. This straightforward layout minimizes distractions and keeps your focus on timing, feel and groove.

Durable Construction With Everyday Reliability

The poplar body is finished in gloss polyurethane for added protection against wear. A maple neck paired with a laurel fingerboard provides stability and a smooth playing surface, while sealed die-cast tuning machines support accurate and dependable tuning. Chrome-plated hardware adds durability and a clean visual finish suited for regular practice and performance.

A Short-Scale Bass Built for Confidence and Growth

The Squier Sonic Bronco Bass is well suited for beginners, developing players and anyone looking for a comfortable short-scale bass with clear, punchy tone. Its lightweight build, slim neck profile and uncomplicated electronics create an inviting platform for learning, practicing and playing with confidence. Designed to feel manageable without sounding small, the Bronco Bass offers a rewarding entry point into electric bass.
