Woodinblack Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) On Squier CV bass, picked originally over a fender MiM bass (which was actually not much more expensive) because it sounded and played better, not because of some inferiority complex as some people would have you believe I have kept this bass for several years because it had sentimental value, but it has been sitting around unplayed for several years and that is a bit pointless. All my basses are regularly gigged apart from this one, that hasn't been gigged since my last group 4 years ago. Because of the sitting around it does have crackling volume control, I will take that apart and spray it to see if it makes a difference. The other thing that kept me not wanting to sell it is the look of the neck when playing it - it really is nicer looking than all the other fender styles I had apart from the flame maple on my Maruszczyk. Unfortunately the thing that stops me playing it is I could park a truck between the strings, and for someone who thinks that the 16.5mm string spacing on the ibanez is a bit agrophobic, the 19mm+ spacing on these is way too much for me. So in the end I decided to trade it for a jazz, and as no trades came up here, I bought a jazz and now have to sell this. I have the metal plate thing that gets in the way of the bridge in a box somewhere which I could add. I am currently lacking boxes as nothing I bought recently had one, so pickup is best for me, and any offers really depend on closeness. I can deliver or meet people within 30-40 miles of yeovil and I get to bath and bristol often, and maybe also exeter at weekends.

Woodinblack Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Mine too but would work for me better as a jazz. I do love the look of this though (and the sound). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pst62 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I have one of these, it's excellent! It has the nicest sounding pup of any Precision I've owned. This is well worth the asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a crackling volume, it was an intermittent tone control because the capacitor had a dry joint, that is now fixed, works like a charm. i notice when doing that there is a very small hole in the pick guard next to the tone control, you can see it on the body pictures when zoomed in, at one point this had a g3k midi pickup on it and the tone control was taken off (possibly relates to the problem above), the hole was a mounting lug for that.
