Paddy515 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Both used. Squier CV made in China _ jazz or p _ or a G&L Tribute L2000. Jobs a good un. Edited July 19, 2019 by Paddy515 More info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki_Sixx Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've had a Squier VM Jazz 70 for the past 4 years or so and it's the best quality instrument I've ever owned. A real workhorse that would stand up to gigging and travelling, at a really great price (especially used). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Exeter at the moment and went to two quality music stores, recommend them for choices and got to play through a fender rumble and Mark bass. My decision is squire jass, cv or vm, in white, possibly burst. I love the tone and feel and I can always take off some of the lacquer. Now it's off to find one. Thanks guys for suggestions and help Edited July 19, 2019 by Friskydingo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Indonesian Squier P-bass Special has been my main gigging bass for the last 3 or 4 years. Upgraded with a set of SD quarter pounders, a Kiogon loom with series/parallel switch and a Hipshot drop tuner. The P-bass Special has a jazz neck, and mine's like a matchstick. The expensive basses stay at home Ignore the name on the headstock. Find a bass that feels and sounds right to you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friskydingo Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 And so it's begun... Just purchased Squier Jazz Vintage Modified in white. Thanks everyone for your help, amp and pedal suggestions next. But that's it. I swear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friskydingo Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 I know it's not a six string Dingwall custom shop but I've played it a few times and it's what I need in my price range! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Nothing wrong with that frisky, if it’s set up right it will do everything you want it to 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 That's really nice, except @Teebs has one just like it. Maybe you could paint it a different colour? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
