Hazy Bass Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Up for sale is my Squier JV Precision, which dates from August 1982 - which I believe was the first month they were sold with the 'Squier' logo replacing the 'Fender' (Squier Series) logo. Neck date is 8-21-82 (21st Aug 1982) and the neck pocket date is 82.8. Serial no is JV12604. As far as I can tell it is all original; cloth covered wiring, reverse tuners etc. Very striking Sen 'Ash' body (appears to be 2-piece) which really shows off the grain nicely. These are really great basses, as I'm sure everyone is aware - built as exact replicas of the classic 1962 Precision. So basically a pre-CBS spec Precision, with 35 years authentic ageing, at a fraction of the cost of an actual '62 bass! Condition is excellent, with only a few very minor dings and marks in keeping with its age. The worst is probably a slight dent on the back of the neck (see photo) which I never actually notice while playing. I've had this bass for about 18 months and the only reason for selling is that I have now acquired a slightly older, July '82 'Fender' logo model, which is otherwise identical! I've thought about keeping them both, but I don't really believe in owning an instrument that never gets played, so here it is. Currently set up as close as I can tell to the Fender guidelines for neck relief, string height, pickup height and intonation: [url="https://support.fender.com/hc/en-us/articles/214343843-How-do-I-set-up-my-bass-guitar-properly-"]https://support.fend...uitar-properly-[/url] And truss rod appears to be moving freely in both directions. Any questions please ask. Comes with generic Stagg bass case (in v good condition): [url="https://www.staggmusic.com/en/products/view/ABSRB2"]https://www.staggmus...cts/view/ABSRB2[/url] £925 incl shipping (UK mainland) [attachment=251432:JV01.jpg] [attachment=251433:JV02.jpg] [attachment=251434:JV03.jpg] [attachment=251435:JV04.jpg] [attachment=251436:JV05.jpg] [attachment=251437:JV06.jpg] [attachment=251438:JV07.jpg] [attachment=251439:JV08.jpg] Edited August 17, 2017 by Hazy Bass
ash Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 A very nice example - these basses are superb both my main 'Fender' basses are JV Squiers from this era. The 21frets site gives lots of info about them. Good luck with the sale.
