ash Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Looking to move this on it's a Squier JV P bass from around 1984, it plays and sounds great and appears original with the exception of the control knobs/extra pot, a couple of replaced screws and a Seymour Duncan Basslines Jazz pickup at the bridge. The neck is lovely with a nice amber vintage patina to the laquer. There are dings and scuffs but nothing nasty, the electrics are fine and there is play on the trussrod. The neckplate is stamped with the JV serial. It has a lovely tobacco sunburst and off white scratchplate, no case included. JV prices are going crazy for totally original basses so I guess with the extra pickup this isn't a collector's piece but a proper player's bass, gone please remove![attachment=84179:IMGP2139.JPG] [attachment=84180:IMGP2132.JPG] Edited July 14, 2011 by ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee650 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ive had my JV jazz 18 years and will never ever sell it, fantasic instruments and as you say originals are going for daft money ( i paid £120 for mine, but must have spent £1000 on mods and refrets/dresses over the years) mine is very modified and a true players bass,this is a steal and i want it-Bump!!

I was one of the lucky ones to buy a "Fender by Squier" bass, which makes it worth a little more, but still the same instrument and same build quality... One careful owner, its been gigged hard in that time and shows that in its character but, ditto you'd never part me from mine!! Keep it, love it!! (or have a bump on me!!)

antti Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 This one is a real player for the price. I have played some JV's. Let me tell ya, they are really good instruments. This really is a proper bass for some 520. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge is the original 50s/60s type with knurled saddles and flat head screw height adjusters so no - not a quick release type this is all as it should be for the era with the exception of the Jazz pickup. I will try and swap for a better picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 The neck is just gorgeous on this one and the sunburst finish gives it real class, unfortunately its not being played due to my ongoing obsession with my old faithful 70s Precision, this must go soon or I fear an ebay moment.......
