The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
30-inch short scale improves playability and string tension; single split-coil Squier pickup delivers vintage punch with manageable output; lightweight body reduces fatigue; hardtail bridge provides stability without added complexity.
Requires standard bass amp and cable. Short scale means aftermarket strings and parts may need sourcing. Bridge adjustment and basic setup recommended upon arrival. A lightweight gig bag strongly advised given the instrument's portability advantage.
At $369.99, this Bronco delivers legitimate Fender lineage in a format that doesn't compromise on tone or build quality. Short scale makes it genuinely playable rather than merely affordable—a meaningful difference for those entering the instrument.

Squier Sonic® Bronco® Bass
The Squier Sonic® Bronco® Bass is ready to launch any musical adventure into warp speed, offering iconic Fender® style and inspiring tone for players at any stage. This Bronco Bass sports a slim and inviting "C"-shaped neck profile with a narrow 1.5" nut width and a thin, lightweight body for optimal playing comfort while a Squier® single-coil pickup delivers punchy bass tone. Further details of this model include a short 30" scale length, 4-saddle hardtail bridge for precise intonation adjustment, sealed-gear tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning and durable chrome-plated hardware that is sure to catch the spotlight.
Features
- Short 30" scale length
- Squier single-coil pickup
- 4-saddle hardtail bridge
- Sealed-gear tuning machines
- Chrome hardware
SHORT SCALE LENGTH
Ideal for smaller players, a 30" scale length (the distance from bridge to nut) creates low string tension and reduces the overall size of the instrument for easy playability.
SQUIER SINGLE-COIL PICKUP
Voiced in-house at Fender, this Squier single-coil pickup produces fat, articulate tone for a wide variety of styles.
SEALED DIE-CAST TUNING MACHINES
Sealed die-cast tuning machines have a smooth action for accurate tuning.
