far0n Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Opinions? Look damn fine to me, sound pretty good on the youtube clips I've watched too....and for £250 or so...make a nice little upgrade project in the longer term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 [b]BUY[/b]. Simple as that. They are excellent bass's. I only parted with mine as I prefer P style necks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ditto really good basses for upgrading. Necks are superb, hardware/tronics not so much - useable but not the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I like mine. Provided that you like Jazzes, they're fine. Watch the weight if that sort of thing bothers you, as the Maple bodies [i]can[/i] be a little heavy. Mine's currently sporting a BadAss II, and it may eventually get better pick-ups and a stacked V/V/T/T control set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I played my brother's VM Jazz a few weeks ago and have been telling myself that I don't need another bass since - loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Nice bass. I like mine a lot. I agree with the electronics not been the best. I find the pickups a bit polite. However I have bought replacement pickups months ago and I even have a John East J-Retro preamp that will go in there... but I haven't yet bothered to do it. That says that even 'though the pickups could be better, they are not bad at all. Lovely bass for the money.

BassTractor Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) [b]Oh YES![/b] Most probably my next buy. Looks and feels great. Sounds more than adequate. I am sooo not buying the expensive Fender, and feel really lucky that the shop I normally use, just 10 miles away, stocks both the VM's, Warwicks and EBMM Bongos. [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1337408699' post='1659396'] stacked V/V/T/T control set. [/quote] Does this mean a Tone for each pup, or what does it mean? Anyone care to explain please? best, bert Edited May 20, 2012 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyslimfast Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Another happy camper, I've got the '77 and it plays brilliantly. I tend to play my P's more as they have more of the sound I like, but I won't be letting it go in a hurry - for what I paid for it, it's excellent. I might end up upgrading the pups at some point though - as others have said they can be a little polite. But only a little - they still sound better than anyone has a right to expect for the money.
