i had a CV strat which was nice great feel and sound but i agree about the bodywood it felt a bit lightweight i also have a 1987 japanese squier strat which to me just feels a bit more solid for my liking so i sold the CV strat no complaints for what i paid for it was very good fit and finish

Doh!

yeah they robbed alot of grolsch bottle tops for there shoes!

i had a 77 P and rocked double denim in late 80s too

nice bass

i watched it very enjoyable then i watched the glen campbell film thats was good too

yeah if i had a roadie i would have a big amp, i like to feel the breeze of the bass around my ankles.

looks good wouldnt fancy lugging it around though.

I feel your pain,I bought a fernandes revival bass from a reverb seller in italy. I think it is a 1981 model and it arrived looking in really good shape but It also had neck issues,similar to the ones you described and the truss rod was tight I ended up using the washer trick and that got it straighter and to complete I clamped the neck straight and manage to get some more movement on the truss rod and now its got a nice low action and plays great was a learning curve but I really wanted to keep the bass as the neck is really nice and comfortable for me hope yours turns out to be ok.

my 1979 Ibanez roadster is 5.5kg 12lb odd, i like it as it reminds me of my 77 precision i had not sure if its the weight or the natural finish that reminds me of it though

most of my basses have a ding or two.doesnt bother me much,i'd rather they where played.

actually mine was the black fender decal and I think it said squier series on it.

I owned one was ok,having owned an early mexican fender also,im not sure there was much difference same machineheads ceramic pickup etc.

yeahi watch some of his stuff,seems a very polite and knowledgeable chap.

yes that would of been there originally,you can see it on the reissue jazz basses.

is that the cricket ground?i work out of the hospital just behind it.

I saw that and thought it was an encore,they have changed the string tree and neck plate,still has the original machineheads though.

really shocked to hear this,great voice and talent,will be sadly missed.
