[color=#515251]This is an export JV Squire.[/color] [color=#515251]Neck date is 10/11/82[/color] [color=#515251]For those of you who don't know, these were produced using American pickups and hardware, and although not the rarest of the JV models, the export model was the higher spec and generally accepted as being the closest to a pre CBS model.[/color] [color=#515251]This guitar is showing some signed of wear on the maple neck, although nothing that affects its play-ability and the frets have plenty of life left.[/color] [color=#515251]There are some knocks in the body finish, but probably less than one would expect for a 35 year old instrument.[/color] [color=#515251]It has had a 5 position switch fitted, and this looks to have been done professionally.[/color] [color=#515251]Other than that, it looks to be original.[/color] [html]http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/simontdo/basses/JV%20Strat/story[/html] [color=#515251]According the the guitarist in my band, the neck is amazing.[/color] [color=#515251]I'm in Bournemouth, if anyone wants to come and try it out.[/color] [color=#515251]Thanks[/color]

Maybe they did an export version?

OK, I've done a bit of research on this and it would apear that the US '62 reissues are supposed to have the double stacked control knobs. As is obvious, this one hasn't. I've spoken to the lady I bought it from and she insists she bought it new at Anderson's in Guildford in '96 and has never changed it. I've taken so more photos of the back of the control plate and the neck etc. Maybe Fender ran out of stacked knob control plates in Feb'96?

The serial number on the head-stock starts S9. As a rough guide this would indicate it is manufactured in '79. (S=seventies, E=eighties etc)

Another bass for sale. I need to thin out the herd. This P bass is totally original; it has not been messed with in any way. The serial No is S9, with a matching serial number in the neck pocket. Also in the neck pocket is the a date sticker reading 26th October '81. Its a Scorpio! There is some wear in the paintwork that can be seen in the photos, but otherwise, the condition is exceptional. The pickups and pots look original (although the dates on the pots are obscured by solder), the frets have hardly any wear. It also comes with the original pickup covers. It plays extremely well, the neck is straight and the truss rod works as it should. Weight is 9.9 lbs. Pretty light for a late 70s Precision! More pics here [url="http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/simontdo/basses/79%20P/story"]http://s1104.photobu...es/79%20P/story[/url] It does not have an original case, but I have an old case I can provide if required. I'm based in Bournemouth, if anyone would like to come and look and have a play Thanks for looking Simon

I'm pretty sure they were/are available with either type.

SB700 has a maple/walnut "transmit-neck", SB600 has a maple fixed neck [url="http://matsumokuguitars.com/uploads/3/1/1/9/3119224/516010_orig.jpg"]http://matsumokuguit...516010_orig.jpg[/url]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's an SB700. The SB600 has a glued neck, your's has a through neck.

Always liked these, but the last one I tried was a boat anchor. Whereabouts in the Northwest are you?

I had this bass from new. I recognise the mark on the peg. Fantastic sounding bass. I only sold it because I couldn't get on with 5 strings. I have the 4 string version now.

My first bass was one of these. GLWTS
