Fender Jazz? VM with a decal...

[itsmedunc]

Squier body, SD pups and a neck that certainly looks like a 70's decal applied. Looks like a Vintage Modified with a decal to me

So it's a Fender Jazz.

Apart from the body.



And the pickups.



And possibly the neck.

Ah well, could still be a killing bass ! And it was used on some film from the future! Lol. I hate being cynical, but I love those 'it might be legendary so buy it' stories..

Messaged the seller and asked if it was a VM with a decal. No reply as yet...

Look at that. A blurry photo of the neck plate....

Just got this reply back from the seller -


Hi there, It was bought as is.. He was told its a Squire body with Fender neck.. It definately doesn't look like its had a decal replacement... plus this has Seymour Duncan pickups. Kind Regards, M.

The real one has a three bolt neck...

Further dialogue - I pointed out that the VM's I had seen had SD designed pups. That the logo was a 70's patent and so USA and if genuine but the trussrod access on his was at the neck and not the heel like on USA...

Hi, The Squire Vintage Modified Bass' come with Fender designed Single-Coil Jazz Bass pick-ups (Bridge and Middle) and not Seymour Duncans from what I can see online. You may be right about the headstock but I'm not 100% sure.

From what I can see it's a Stock Squier VM with a decal and a new scratchplate.

to be fair though, he's starting bidding at £150 - which may be a little optimistic but he might get a couple of bids and it wouldn't be a complete rip-off.

Yes, I thought that too
Funny how all the other pics are sharp....

I thought the early VM Jazzes had Duncan designed pickups on anyway. I've certainly seen a few advertised like that. Re the price, it's about right as it is at present. I just bought one of these in the UK for a mate over here for £151, and it's a minter.

However, the upside of your one is that it's been played by a bloke I've never heard of, from a band I've never heard of and used to record the soundtrack of a film I've never heard of.
