Going by your given location, I imagine the going rate in Poland & UK are quite different, where do you hope to sell it? The market is slow, if you put it up on here for £350 (sounds reasonable to me) see how much interest you get. Shipping costs need to be considered if the bass is in Poland of course. Cheerz, John

Or not!

Happy ending = well done basschat

Fender on a Friday, Lakland at the weekend naturally

Heard the news yesterday, R.I.P. Donna, so young to go Been mashing I feel love with green onions

Missed you xX thanks for sorting it guys, here's to a 'normal' day

Just had a similar warning as I sent a PM! Sorry it went to soon for me to remember what it said Edit: What Rucks said above I believe

I believe Fender stopped using Slot Headed screws during 1953, so long before any Jazzes were even dreamt of. The standard screws would definitely be Philips Head & not Pozidrive. Those supplied with the American Vintage series I've had, for the covers are a Roundhead, similar size to standard pickguard Raised Head Countersunks, which will also do nicely. Edit: Definitely no experts around here, just a bloke who likes his screws

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1337012683' post='1653983'] So I shouldn't be believing this?: [url="http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_7614546_remove-chrome-nickel-plating.html"]http://www.ehow.co.u...el-plating.html[/url] [/quote] I wouldn't believe any of that - if they say "use a plastic container" to hold acetone I don't think so I'm sure there are some that will BUT!

Is removing chrome plate really as easy as you suggest?

I know the American Vintage series, Precision & Jazz both come with Chrome Covers (not fitted) but the holes are drilled in the scratch plate *not the body* for the pickup cover, but no holes drilled for the bridge cover. The Jazz however has a 'paper template' that fit's around the bridge for drilling the bridge cover holes. Sorry that doesn't help a lot but some scratch plates do have the holes in ready for the pickup cover, if you got one of those Cheerz, John

Just picked up a '94 MiM P neck that's been defretted & I' m trying to judge what radius it is/should be. I've got a 7.25" & a 9.0" guide but it's too close to call between them. If anybody knows what it should be please? It's a rosewood board, needs a bit of sanding but to take more off each side or the middle? I'm inclined to take the middle down & leave the edges, if you see what I mean. Cheerz, John

That's terrible news, only 70! Much respect Duck R.I.P. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/Years%20ago/DuckDunnsmiling.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1336737458' post='1650206'] The standard/norm is still V/V/T. If it is a stacked pot it is either 60's reissue (they call it a 62 reissue but I have a feeling the VVT was generally in use by 62 and 'technically' the stacker should be earlier than that) or it has had the plate replaced. [/quote] That's exactly what I found, when I got my AV '62 Jazz & looked into it a bit, it's like it should be called a '61 reissue, the head decal too is more like a '61. To the OP, yes the AV '62 RI is the only Jazz I've seen with the stacked pots as standard.

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1336745400' post='1650375'] But even in this thread you only seem to have a problem when it is some one on Ebay doing it. [/quote] No I don't "only seem to have a problem when it is some one on Ebay doing it" I would not have a problem if he wasn't committing fraud.

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1336680088' post='1649528'] So they are Fender Squiers then. They are BY Fender making them Fender. Not Squiers by Well Hung m***e guitar company Ltd. They are even on Fenders own website. [/quote] The JV in this post seems to be a Fender Squier I'd say [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/176157-jv-p-how-much-maybe-i-should-put-mine-up/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/176157-jv-p-how-much-maybe-i-should-put-mine-up/page__fromsearch__1[/url]

[quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1336742844' post='1650316'] I've got a Wizard Thumper in my P Bass and whilst I was changing the pickup covers on it the wee wire that connects the two parts of the pickup together became disconnected from the treble side. It's always looked a wee bit flimsy, to be honest I don't think the person that did a lot of the "upgrades" to the bass before I got it really knew what they were doing. Anyway, should it be straight forward enough to just re-solder the wire back to its original place? I was ready to just grab my soldering iron and put it back but after reading something in another thread I thought I'd better check first! The other thread is here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/175687-selling-fender-american-passive-jazz-bass-pickups-2-volume-controls-1-master-tone-control-and-accessories-price-drop-l40/"]http://basschat.co.u...price-drop-l40/[/url] [/quote] Hey Jono, As said above ^^ If you're not confident in doing the job, feel free in sending it down to me & I'll do my very best to repair it for you, it'll only cost the postage. [u][b]OR have a word with Andy at Wizard [/b][/u][b] [/b] Cheerz, John

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1336741680' post='1650291'] I thought you'd bite, chill out I'm pulling your leg. In response to your "don't understand" comment I have asked you to enlighten me but you failed to respond. [/quote] I am always chilled out thanks, it's not leg pulling when you stoop to using that sort of insult towards anybody. Instead of me chilling I would suggest that you withdraw your remarks & offer an apology. [i][b]Even[/b][/i] on a internet forum there is a line between derogatory name calling & 'leg pulling', which I feel you have overstepped. If you [i]really[/i] don't understand my comment, it's because you don't seem to understand that what the seller in question seems to be doing - adding logos to basses (at least) & selling them as something they are not, is illegal, not good for the industry & not good for the 'straight' guitar buying public.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1336740210' post='1650255'] This was the original question, then some paranoid lunatic got it in his head that there was a master scammer on the lose and wanted to call the cops or tell the teacher until he finally got the picture but at this stage he couldn't back down in fear of losing face so the subject kept changing to suit his stance. Then other dudes got involved depending on what was happening and the original point got lost Along the way. So I think a fair answer to the original post is-- If you think this is an original fender misadvertised as a squier by mistake for some reason and you think it is a bargain to be had, then don't buy it. However if you think this is a squier with mods and you are into that type of thing, then it's probably not the best value guitar out there but it definitely not a bad buy. So in short this is a modified squier not an original fender. Now that you have all the info please feel free to proceed how you desire and if anyone here wants to judge you that's their problem. I personally feel that a good quality squier should wear the fender badge with pride. Amen. [/quote] Excuse me - who exactly are you directing your childish but nasty comments at? To repeat - you really don't understand do you?
