uncle psychosis Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 [quote name='pst62' timestamp='1338476197' post='1675162'] Got this 2007 Squier VM Precision for £50 on Monday, It's immaculate, there's not a mark on it. The neck had been given that much relief you coulda got a double decker under the action at the 12th fret After a few adjustments with the truss rod and a few days to let it settle, it's now looking and feeling great. The only downside is the Rosewood fingerboard, it woulda been better Maple, but for £50 I'll cope with that http:// [/quote] £50? How'd you manage that? Looks very tasty, but I'd probably change the scratchplate myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Uncle Psychosis tho, I'd put a tort scratchplate on there. If you want a maple neck, Gary Mac has one on here for a very reasonable £80, I think it'd look cracking.

(i don't know, i am just asking) anyway i placed the jazz cover on a precision because my fingers don't fit on the space between the two covers for just a few millimeters. i constantly hit them accidentaly so i placed the slightly narrower jazz cover.....

Jono Bolton Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Already used this pic in the rigs thread, but I though I'd put it in here as well. My 2001 Mexican Fender P Bass, that's recently undergone some cosmetic changes. It's got a Wizard Thumper with new cream pickup covers, a wiring kit from KiOgon and a tortoiseshell scratchplate from The Bass Doc. It always looks quite red in pictures, but I can assure you it's brown! The bridge and strap buttons are new as well, but that's by the by. All it really needs now is a decent set of tuners and it'll be finished, the stock ones are ok but a bit slippy sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
