gjones Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) The neck on my CV Squier P bass is fantastic. It's shallow, fret ends are smooth and polished and I can get lovely low action on it. Which is more than I can say for the neck on the Fender Elite Precision I bought last year, for silly money. I've also owned a MIJ Silver Squier Jazz bass. It was also a fine instrument. Edited September 8, 2019 by gjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 64, 74 or 84 ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Squier 70 VM Jazz - use it every week for open mic night. Not changed anything but the strings to Rotosound Nexus coated strings. Realiable as, good tone, easy to play. What's not to like?

Marc S Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 My go-to gigging bass is a Squier Classic Vibe P bass - one of the early ones The neck is superb. Of course, matters such as dimensions; depth, width, radius are all subject to personal preference But I like the C shape of the neck - the fact that it's not overly chunky, or too slim (somewhere in between) As others have said, it's a lovely finish to the edges and frets too. The stock pickup sounds superb. I had a CV Precision in Fiesta Red, and foolishly sold that. Which is a move I am now regretting.... even though I already have too many Keep an eye out for one of the earlier ones, second-hand on here But also try the new CV range, and the VM series too - especially as you liked the one you tried 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher spec Squiers stock pickups are decent straight out of the box. Edited September 9, 2019 by ribbetingfrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock CV p bass pups were Toneriders, not sure if the same were used in the jazzes, but more than likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
