fryske Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I've been looking at an 80's Jap Squier Jazz bass - the serial starts with an E - this seems to indicate '84-'87 construction is this range as good as the earlier Jap Squiers? - the JV range I think??? any guidance on price or whether to avoid many thanks

[/quote] why? I don't think there's one for sale is there? I had an E Serial Fender Precision, it was very good - well made, good quality stuff on it. I've got a JV Precision which is better, but the E serial was very good. I've also got an early 90s Jap Squier strat which is alright apart from the pickups (which I've now changed). I think you would struggle to get anything really bad out of the Japanese Fender/Squier factories to be honest.
thedontcarebear Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I had a JV Squier from the first month of production with the rare headstock and sold it for around £600, had an old 80's Fender P and sold it I think for around £300 to someone on here.
ianrunci Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Some of the Squires from the mid eighties had plywood bodies. I know this for a fact because I have a squire strat from about 85 that I bought brand new and it has indeed got a plywood body, difficult to tell until it got chipped
Thornybank Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I have one with the copper earth strip and a'. Same as the CIJ '62 reissue Fender I just sold for £400 - only differences were the decal and a white s/p instead of hte mint green from the CIJ. I think the Squier plays better, but that is entirely subjective. I would expect £350 as a fair value on the reissue spec Squier. ...or is that heavy?
Jono Bolton Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Why was this thread moved? Nothing's for sale here. I thought it was fine in Bass Guitars. Back on topic, I'd expect an to pay £300-350 for an early-ish Squier.
fryske Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 yeah i was confused about the thread being moved!
