4-string-thing Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 add a bridge and pup cover to that butterscotch 50's and it'd look the dogs danglies! Quote
Musicman20 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Might put Sue Ryder P officially for sale and upgrade to one of these. Quote
dave_bass5 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Mtt Freeman bass now on Squier's website and it says vintage frets. Very cool. [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0301080"]Matt Freeman Bass[/url] Quote
Musicman20 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 ...and pics are now up on Squiers site. That MF is a wonderful looking thing! I might have to get one. Quote

krispn Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 The Matt Freeman does have a certain cool about it. Looking forward to messe opening tomorrow and seeing what the initial reports are. Quote
thinman Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 You have to hand it to Squier - they seem to be getting their marketing spot-on. I know many don't consider them to be serious instruments (and I admit to have irrational thoughts in my mind) but they've produced so many models lately that I like the look of. I've a CV 60's P in blue and now I want one of the active Jaguars in red. Quote
Duarte Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Doesn't Matt Freeman play a Tony Franklin signature P bass? What's going on there... That butter P looks so nice. I think it may be ESSENTIAL Quote

I think it may be ESSENTIAL[/quote] Im not a Matt Freeman fan as i'd never heard of him untill this bass was mentioned, but in the interview he did for the Squier website he said his favorite bass is his 70's P (which this is based on) but he never uses it anymore as he is nervius about taking it out. He also metions he has had over 90 basses. Edited April 6, 2011 by dave_bass5 Quote
Musicman20 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I think it may have been linked to, but here is the reason why I started to take bass evenn more seriously....good bass players in punk? You'd be surprised how many there are. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPhZ8SYa1Sw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPhZ8SYa1Sw[/url] Matt Freeman shredding on a Jazz bass with zero effort. Quote

buff Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Really loving the look of this bass, only concern is the width of the neck. Quote
bh2 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 yes... it looks tons better than the LPB one, love the neck tint. Burst with a pearl guard please. Quote

SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Any know if the old bridge covers will fit over the highmass bridges? If I got one of these I'd need to fit covers too it! Quote
