hooky_lowdown Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Not sure about the block inlays, but every 70s walnut fender P I've heard has sounded awesome. Squire sure are making the CV and VM ranges extremely tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Nooooooooooooo I really love the look of the Mustang, then saw the '51, then the walnut Precision. I can see at least one of them being bought. Just a pity they aren't doing the '51 in the Colonel Mustard finish or that would have definitely been the one. Just to be pedantic but shouldn't the tug bar on the '51 being a single screw one? Edited July 21, 2019 by Delberthot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) I bought one for my Warmoth '57 single coil P bass and it didn't move. Easy enough to replace I suppose if I do get one Edited July 21, 2019 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough to replace I suppose if I do get one I guess if it’s screwed in well enough. I’ve never tried one so commented purely on seeing it in photos.

Woodinblack Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Does it matter, does anyone actually use those things for anything other than decoration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 No it doesn't matter but if they had wanted to make it like the original then it would have had 1 screw. I'm guessing it was to keep costs down by using a part that they already had - same goes for the bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was rude not to. If I get on with I'll probably be ordering a b/w/b scratchplate as I'm not a tort fan. I'm hoping this will be a good garage/punk machine.

Woodinblack Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) I didn't even think of the 9 month interest free, but that makes sense as one thing we can guarantee is that our money will be worth less in the future! It also occurs to me that I have a sheet of parchment black white pickguard material in the corner, maybe I will make one of those. -- a few hours later ok, looks like I need to dig out that scratchplate then, it is on the way!

Woodinblack Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I range Andertons to check. It was UK format, they aren't expecting to be able to get any until around march next year! I cancelled the order, it is a long time so maybe I will look again when they are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Is that for the all the new models or just the Mustang? Either way, it might actually give me time to save for that Walnut Precision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought that there would be much of a delay on those, I assume the Ps roll out of the production line at all times, so no reason why there should be a delay just for a different colour / wood.
