What's under my Squier VM Jazz scratchplate ?

I also want to know what's under there. Could be some smuggled blood diamonds or anything! 😁

That would be classed as a result.

Was nice ta and I ran off without doing the washing up as per usual.

Surely I'm not going to have to get my screw driver out ? I have 2 VM's, that must be like 20 screws in all. There must be 5 thousand VM Jazz owners on here. 

You lazy gimp. That poor woman cooked your tea and you left her to wash it up as well ? Tell her from me that has my sympathy and undoubtedly deserves better.

Does she have any sharp scissors ? I wouldn’t sleep for too long in your position ....I’d be nervous

naughty boy not doing the washing up when cooked for, you won't get invited to tea again

Or to anything else

I can’t believe you lot are going to make me get a screwdriver and do this. 🤣

Have to. It’s become a quest now.

It's only a squier, squire. You can use a shovel instead of a screwdriver - no harm done

That's exactly what I thought I remembered seeing when I took the lid off mine.

Glad to know I didn't imagine it.

Running sans pickguard is overrated anyway. 👍

[lemmywinks]

Disappointing isn't it? That's worse than my old Squier Standard which had the horrid trough but was at least separate from the control cavity. 

[fleabag]

That is a shame young Les.  Bluddy Squiers

Hey, MIA Fenders are still being made this way and your Squier was a hell of a lot cheaper.

True

Wonder why it's done like that ? Would imagine  a machine's done the work on both mine and the fretless version but the fretless is much more  thing of beauty. Both around the same price point.

Squier VM's are great quality instruments, given the asking price
They definitely did a version which isn't routed out though - at least they did a fretless version that wasn't routed
Flog your bass and get one of the other versions... or buy a fretless, and swap the necks over? Or perhaps ask in the wanted section for a body?

At one time, I was sorely tempted to get a fretless VM without guard - they look great

Big trench on mine,great bass for money though

[DrBike]

I'm sure it'll buff out

The USA standard stuff is the same, my Custom shop has a big fat ‘RELIC’ stamp under the pickguard 🙄

No doubt, I'm astonished how good these basses are.  May pick a VM fretless up just to swap necks
