Kiwi Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I don't think an agathis body is anything to get excited about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 You're a little late to the party. That fretless came over 2 years ago and the other one a couple of months ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I fully understand the chagrin as I personally don't see much difference from existing models either - but notice that they are ORDERED and ARRIVING in a couple of days - and that may be something or nothing. Elderly is no slouch in the instrument business and they are always on the cusp of what's happening - so I just reported this and was scratching [u]my[/u] head at the same time too. It might be a Xmas thing too - you know: get the Squier name out there and some new pictures, even if there's no new basses ---- YET! But yes - there's a small element of humor here too. .

Moos3h Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I had a good go on the '77 this weekend. I wanted to really like it, as I'm a massive fan of the CV series. Sadly for me at least, it's got the same feeling neck that the VM Jazz has, but with those nice blocks - I was hoping for a really high gloss neck but it's not - a shame but I realise this is personal taste. The bridge is distictly average, and i'm not a basher of the BBOT but this does feel quite flimsy, certainly compared to the solid unit found on the CV. It also sounds really bright and quite powerful - not bad in itself, but compared to the warmer, if slightly lower output thump of the CV, it's a much harsher tone - I suspect this might make it cut through better, but to my ear this wasn't that pleasant. Maybe a string change would sort this. LOVE the fretless though, if only I could play one properly Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I live in faint hope that one day a CV or VM Mustang will be announced in one of these threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
