Jean-Luc Pickguard

I recently bought a new Classic Vibe Mustang guitar, and noticed that I could often hear a hum through the amp whenever I wasn't touching the strings or bridge. The first thing I do after buying a Squier or other inexpensive bass/guitar is replace the born-to-fail jack socket with a decent one so I opened it up and soldered in a Pure Tone socket. While I was in there I also protected the control cavity from slug infestation by lining it with 25mm self-adhesive copper anti-slug tape from amazon. After doing these two jobs, the hum was now totally gone, so I deduced from this that the previously heard noise was probably from slugs in the control cavity humming along with the music.

Is there ever a valid reason to remove a serial number from a bass? I doubt it— The only reasons I can think of to do so are both dishonest: 1— to mask that the bass has been stolen, or 2 — To deceive a buyer into believing it is a different model from what it actually is. This is a prime example of the latter. You could attach the swing tag to a piece of cheese, but it won't turn it into a roadworn Fender bass.

It’s no good putting the warning on the pcb. I never noticed it and was bunged up for weeks.

Just had a look at the basses on the Andertons website. If I wasn't so into my JMJ mustangs I would be seriously gassing for the custard coloured telebass. The Vintera II mustang basses have the wrong tuners — they have the Gotoh GB10 type with the undersized string post, as used on the CIJ models rather than the lovely lollipop hipshot HB7 of the original vintera and the JMJ.

Andertons have posted a video - looks like it only covers the guitars rather than the basses, but I'm watching it now

Sounds like they should have set a reserve, but didn't as it would cost them an extra 4%.
