Telebass Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 And here she is! [attachment=164478:DSC00005.JPG] As can be seen, I like blocks and binding! [attachment=164479:Dsc00004.jpg] Quote
Lozz196 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Nice bass, agree, blocks & binding are just mmmmmmmmm. Quote
Telebass Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 The black bass was originally a 2003/4 Standard MIM. Has US 1994 pickups, new guard, and that neck originally fitted when the first neck went bad. The sunburst is a Squier VM Fretless, SD SPB-2 and VM77 neck being the only mods. Quote
Telebass Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 Well, after a day of practice, I can say that this bass is entirely up to expectations. One odd thing - it has skinny vintage frets. I like them, but the advent of blocks and binding was the marker point for the bigger frets in late '66, so inaccurate on that score. Has also taken a little more weight off the bass. Quote
Telebass Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 The VM77 neck profile is very slim, close to an American Special Jazz. Me likey! Quote
