fryske Posted March 18, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 [quote name='The Burpster' post='159797' date='Mar 18 2008, 05:59 PM']Think you'll get a better response in teh for sale thread..... [/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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted March 19, 2008 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted March 19, 2008 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
