New Squier CV sig bass - Chris Aiken Precision

[such]

I don't think I care for this particular player, or that I'm interested in hearing his band - but this bass looks sexy, Steve Harris meets Marcus Miller, would just swap that single pot for a Stellartone Tonestyler

I'm pretty sure I see a BadAss there, while Fender's website mentions the typical Classic Vibe bridge.

I wish they would come up with a Classic Vibe standard Jazz with a maple fingerboard, those block and bindings wouldn't hurt either...

Oh my god! A Strung Out signature bass! I can't believe they have been noticed by a major company.

I grew up listening to this band....saw them live about 15 years ago and I still rate them. Very very fast and technical stuff.

£259 at Andertons and due in stock the 12th of this month. Looks nice. Fender`s artist department are working overtime this weather.

Looks like a Badass in the video, but other pics show a standard CV high mass bridge with brass saddles. The pickup has massive pole pieces like an SPB-3 Quarter Pounder though, and there's no tone control!

I prefer the look of the Matt Freeman model though.

I've never heard of Chris Aiken, I assumed we would be discussing another Pete Wentz.
I was wrong.

Saw this the other day. Looks nice, agree about the Matt Freeman though. Wouldn't mind both to be fair.

I like

Nice to see something unusual coming out. I reckon its gonna be a big seller due to the aesthetics alone (it has similar appeal to the VMJ).

That one is probably his personal one at a guess

[Darkstrike]

I like it, I'd prefer black blocks and binding, as they'd stand out on the mape more, but the pearl/white ones look quite good too.

[absolutpepper]

I think it looks great. Been after a P for a while so might have to give this one a whirl when I get a chance.

[geofio]

Just purchased this bass will let you guys know how it goes.

[danbowskill]

I have the matt freeman 1
Popped in some dimarzio dp's in it and anew kiorgan loom....fantastic, My go to bass :-)
bar the weak stock pups, the neck,feel and sound of this bass is awsome!
Won't find better for the price anywhere imo

Like the maple board with blocks, don't like the mirror with single pot.

Would be great with a conventional pearl guard, it really would.

Hate badass so would have to swap that out also... some proper fender machines... done!

Are these "Classic Vibe" in the same way the James Johnston sig is basically a cv jazz? Never really followed the difference between the cv and vm series'...
