super looking thang indeed. You're from Ipswich - not far from me! What band does ya play in? I'm selling a 73 Precision soon. If this still available, I'll have it for sure!

A stunning bass - Some please snap this up before I sell a member of my family to fund this! Raise the action and dig in... Hard! Alright!!!!

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1322071917' post='1446228'] Sorry to be so suspicious but this seems to me to be a very strange JV. Export JV P-basses were never available in Black with a Black plickguard. Everything else looks like an export '62 - It has the full clover leaf rivetted reverse vintage tuners and the cloth covered wiring. Also I can't see clearly from the pics if it has threaded bridge saddles or not, the export 62 JVs did but the Domestic JVs didn't. Domestic JVs (which may have been available in black/black) had different tuner key shape with no rivet through the tuner stem. i can only assume it's had a refinish at some time? [/quote] Thanks for the informative post. I would say you seem more curious than suspicious which is all dandy by me. Although the bass is staying put, I shall try to answer your queries anyways. It quite possibly had a refinish at some point. Where the bucklerash has worn the black finish away it looks like wood underneath, but this could be from an original sunburst finish. The bridge saddles are threaded, which would indicate that it indeed is an export model. The black pick guard has no obvious markings to imply it's original or not. The reverse tuners do have a rivet going through them. That was probably as helpful as a chocolate candle holder.

Guys, I must've had a mad moment. I'm no longer going to be selling this ol' JV. I had planned to sell it on to fund the purchase of a 1973 Precision which I got a month or so ago. However after alternating between the two over the past two weeks, I prefer the JV and will be selling the 73 on instead. If someone could please let me know how to update the ad title that would be great. I have tried, but it doesn't seem very obvious. Many thanks for all your kind comments and interest too. Jay

Hello fellow Basschatters, I'm selling my 1982 JV Squier Precision Bass. It has one of the nicest necks I have ever played and the body is reasonably light too. The pick ups are very responsive and there's plenty of life left in the frets. There's bucklerash on the back and a cigarette burn on the headstock (this was present when I bought it years ago) . A few marks here and there but nothing major to mention at all. Please have a gander at the pictures. Any queries, let me know. I will take better pictures at little later in the week. Alternatively, If you've got £600, you can come and take it from me.

Good luck with the sale - well worth £500 of anyone's money I reckon.

A cracking price for a JV Jazz with nice mods! Someone willl get a super bass for a cracking price. . . Shame I just laid out for a holiday... I'd be all over this otherwise. Good luck with selling it.

A really interesting instrument that I picked up a few years ago and am now (with a heavy heart) letting go. I've used it live a fair bit, but mainly for recording, and nothing - no overdubbing of guitars or octave effect quite gets this enormous sound! There is one small dent on the front of the body (that you can see on the photograph), and a small amount of buckle rash, but otherwise in perfect condition. The sound and playability is perfect. I'm looking for £600, and this includes a hard case. Preferably pickup, but happy to post if P&P is paid. I would be interested in a trade on certain varietys of Fender Jazz basses. Thanks for looking - pictures follow.

[quote name='ash' post='1280052' date='Jun 23 2011, 07:54 PM']Up again, beautiful bass interesting trades welcome[/quote] I can't believe this hasn't sold!!!! Do you like Precision Basses at all - I have an early JV Squier one I would possibly trade. Jay

I sold a US, serial number: S9***** Precision exactly like this, only with a rosewood fingerboard for £1000, 6 years ago. This was through an "internet auction site", no-one asked about pots or screws for thumb-rests either... and my hardcase was knackered! Therefore, this seems a great price. Oh and mine was a 1980 one - this was penciled on the neck and body. If I liked maple fingerboards I'd be quite tempted - all the best with selling it... Jay
