neepheid Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It's bogus, mate, it's got no strings for starters! Only kidding, I have nothing useful to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I recently bought a black/white/maple '57 RI JV Squier Precision, similar age. Everything about this looks exactly the same as mine - except the condition! If I were in your place I would raise my interest level considerably. Mine is an absolute peach. Then again feel free to take everything I say about Japanese Squiers with a pinch of salt as I got it royally wrong a few days ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The cost of shipping is a bit off putting even though it does look like a nice bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 All looks good from top to toe but I do notice somebody's had a go at the truss rod nut. I once bought a dead mint Squier JV '57 P which was probably only mint because it turned out to have an inoperable rod. Probably not helpful. Sorry.

maut Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I had a few of these, and also a JV Jazz. My last olympic white JV PB i sold a few weeks ago as i´m raising funds for another old PB. These JVs are very fine instruments, especially the PBs are very light, and the quality is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
