petef4 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Here's an old beaten up JV Squier Bass for sale dated 1983. The bass has the original scratchplate and pickup, I added a Babicz bridge. The knobs, string tree and the pots were taken from another old '83 Precision JV Squier. Tuners are age appropriate replacements by Fender. The body was refinished in white by a previous owner and the paint reacted strangely with my strap (see pics), neck is worn but feels nice to play, frets have been crowned (possibly a refret). Evidence in the neck pocket shows it was originally fiesta red and the grain of wood shows that it is made from sen ash. The neck plate has the correct JV serial engraved on it but its a replacement. Truss rod turns and there is a pencilled date and stamp on the neck heel. There are cosmetic dings a plenty - the condition is 'road worn' in the truest sense of the word. It's light, plays well and sounds great, especially with the Thomastik flatwounds I've had on it for some time now. Could benefit from a refinish to restore it to its former glory, but I've used it as is in studio and on stage and it's been a joy to play. Looking for a sale with collection but I'll post in the UK if necessary. No trades, sorry. Edited July 16, 2019 by petef4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
