goonieman Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi All, Anyone notice that squier seem to have discontinued their original line of classic vibes? I'm after a 2nd hand 60s one and they just do not appear in classifieds or shops! I guess they were threatening the MIM sales - and others. It's a shame they only have the new J bass line in Inca silver. I preferred the old white ones. If they brought a new line in daphne/sonic blue or seafoam it would be game over for me. I guess all those predictions about these being 'future classics' are looking to come true. I remember when they first came out they were around £220 new! Now they're 350!

NoirBass Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I've noticed this too, although I did mange to score an oly white cv jazz a couple of weeks ago on the bay. I think it's just a matter of waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 It's the same with the 60s p-basses, I have GAS for a sonic blue one, two have come up here recently but I haven't been able to get the funds together. Played an oly White jazz yesterday (new) and it was blinking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Bolton Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Here's one that was in the For Sale section, doesn't say it was sold. I was interested in this when it came up but bought a Matt Freeman Precision instead.

Marc S Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I had a CV P bass, in Fiesta red, and I foolishly sold it They have obviously been discontinued now, as there aren't any more in the shops near me Perhaps they were indeed, selling better than the Mex Fender range I played a couple of both Mex and China made CV basses, and the CV's won hands down IMO Or maybe they think they've sold as many as they can in those designs / colours and are planning another series? A few come up, second-hand, but they seem to sell very quickly I think they will indeed become future classics - they are just top-notch quality and feel great to play, while sounding fab too... Think I want to trace down another CV P in Fiesta Red, ..... and this time keep it Good luck with your search I saw that one for sale on here - go for it Edited July 22, 2015 by Marc S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goonieman Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Drat - I never saw those. I already bought a warwick rockbass fretless on a whim - so the CV GAS will have to hold off a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
