bassmansky Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) the squier vintage modified pbass against the classic vibe 60's pbass. is the only difference the bridge?cant make up my mind which one to get.the VMP is cheaper and has good reviews but i have not had a chance to try one.the CV 60's i have tryed and was very impressed but is more exspensive and not sure im keen on the orangey colour head!so if the bridge is the only difference i could buy the VMP and upgrade the bridge at some point as i think this guitar looks better than the CV.decisions decisions! this question has probably been asked before so apoligies!

Buzz Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Bridge, nut, pickups, body wood, neck width, frets, and neck finish are the differences as donated by the spec sheets on the Squier website. Bridge -> VMP uses the old bent tin and the CV uses the new HMV. Nut -> VMP uses plastic, CV uses the superior synthetic bone. Pups -> Both using AlNiCo 5 magnets apparently, one is a Fender one, the other is designed by Seymour Duncan. Neck Finish -> VMP has a satin neck, CV has gloss. Wood -> VMP is agathis, CV is basswood. Neck Width -> VMP is slightly slimmer at the nut with a 1.625" compared to the CV's 1.65". Frets -> CV uses vintage frets, VMJ uses medium jumbo. Spec lists: [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/view_specs.php?full_partno=0303070&name=Classic+Vibe+Precision+Bass%26reg%3B+%9260s"]Classic Vibe P[/url] [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/view_specs.php?full_partno=0326800&name=Vintage+Modified+Precision+Bass%26reg%3B"]Vintage Modified P[/url] Take your pick of what you prefer, or go to a shop, pick up and play. Find a good one. Buy. Personally I'd say the CV has an all round better spec and I'd look at that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
