Jesus, you were completely over critical of the tail switch. First of all, pressing and holding it to turn it on and releasing turning it off is a feature, not a quirk. That’s how you access momentary mode and it’s extremely useful, Not weird like you say… Secondly, it really isn’t that hard to press. Not sure why you have such odd complaints…

Thank you for your feedback. I'm afraid I'm not the best person to ask as I am a 5 string player exclusively, so all 4 stringers feel like broomsticks to me. That being said, I will say it is one of the most fun 4 strings I've held in my hands (second to a Lakland DJ4, and ahead of the Affinity Precision I had a few years ago). Front to back depth seems good to me, but maybe it's thick for a 4 string, I'm not sure. I already loaned the bass out, or else I'd take some measurements for you.

@WorshipBlenderАй бұрын
Good question. The main difference is the Affinity has a J pickup added and different color/finish options. I "think" the Affinity has regular sized control pots too, whereas the Debut has mini pots. Beyond that, I'm not too sure. Tuners on Affinity seemed better quality - they are the same kind, so maybe the materials are a lesser metal, or the tolerances are different, but Debut tuners are really bad. They have been holding tune fine, just very hard to get tuned up due to all the slop in them.
