    I would say that the best value for money consistently would be the Silver Series Squiers - MIJ early 90s. I've had both Silver Series Precision and Jazz basses and they are both great instruments (the Precision particularly - fantastic tone) and I haven't read a bad opinion about either. And they don't go for silly money either. But, as had been said but worth repeating, try as many as you can as you will most likely be surprised. My most recent bass has proved to be the best I have played - comfortable, superb tone, lightweight, great neck and build quality - does all the things I have been looking for in a bass. Passes the 'Stevie Wonder Test' with flying colours. It is a 1984 MIJ Squier medium scale Precision - who would have thought?

    Ah! I see now. What a good idea! Thank you for coming to my rescue.

    I bought this on here some while back, been meaning to do something with it but don't have the inclination. Neck from a Squier VM Precision. 40mm at the nut, so kind of skinny for a Precision. Has been defretted. Badly. Pic is fairly representative of what is going on along the whole neck. Truss rod work! It had a painted headstock when I got it, so I stripped it and managed to burn the wood. Also comes with a free string tree (can't get the bugger out) Make a good project, probably best if re-filled and sanded or re-fretted £15 posted PayPal gift or £10 collected from SS7. Or nearest offer. [attachment=168941:neck1.jpg][attachment=168942:neck2.jpg][attachment=168943:neck3.jpg][attachment=168944:neck4.jpg][attachment=168945:neck5.jpg]

    I bought this on a whim for something that was never really going to happen. Bit too much of a stretch for my DIY skills, to be honest - took it out the box when it arrived, put it in my spares box where it has sat looking derelict ever since. Preamp, pots and associated gubbins for Westone Thunder 1A. No idea what the input jack is all about. Looks like some of the wires have come adrift from the pcb. No idea if it works, sold as a do-er upper. £12 posted, PayPal gift, £10 collected from SS7 [attachment=168938:preamp1.jpg][attachment=168939:preamp2.jpg][attachment=168940:preamp3.jpg]

    NBD oldie, rare

    Just needs a tort pickguard and it would be perfect! Lovely. I've always wondered about these. I have space in my 'collection' for a body-less, head-less bass currently occupied by Hohner B2A. But every time one of these puts its head above the parapet I wonder... Or any of the 80s MIJ ones - Washburn Bantam or, particularly, the Aria Pro II Interceptor.

    Lee bought a pickup from me in the smoothest of transactions. Instant payment, good comms. Nice fella to deal with. Cheers Paul

    On hold!

    Hi John - I am fine, my good fellow - yourself? I can't remember where this one came from, other than I bought it on eBay about a year ago. Going to put his on hold for now, use it this week at rehearsals to see if I can re-kindle the love, and allow it to drift down the list for now.
  11. Paul S
    Gosh, FE, you are making me rethink now! On hold while I make some decisions...
  12. Paul S
    I think the problem with this one is that when it was first listed he said it was a '93. Next listing he changed that to an '83, said he bought it from new (hence the dodgy irrelevant swing tag). My memory is not all that great, but I can differentiate what I did in the 80s and 90s. Possibly just a typo but, in that case, why not just say it was a typo? There seems to me to be too many discrepancies to trust the listing, and the dodgy pictures don't help. But as far as JV Squiers in general are concerned they are absolutely superb. I have one and it is a corker.

    Mine arrived today. First impression is that it is totally indestructible. What a great bit of kit! Even the carry bag I bought looks like it will last a century or two. Why did I wait so long before trying one!? I may well trade up all my other stands to Hercules if that is the build quality.
  14. Paul S
    Didn't get past the fifth fret on my first night.
  15. Paul S
    I don't know about a second coming but this is about the 3rd or 4th listing....

Not sure I want to see one again, to be honest, but someone will like it!
