Deedee Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) This is a Squier Classic Vibe (first series) body in Sonic Blue purchased from @Jono Bolton. The neck is a Status P flavour purchased from @Cuzzie. The body had the original CV high-mass bridge removed and replaced with a bbot, with the original screw holes plugged and new holes drilled. The electrics had been replaced with CTS pots and a switchcraft Jack socket. I fitted licensed Hipshot Ultralight tuners to the neck and bolted it together but was never entirely happy the neck was solid enough, as the screw holes in the neck were a little slack. Fast forward a few months and I decided to get the job done properly, so took the bass to Jon Shuker who plugged and filled the holes in the neck and re-drilled them, refitting the neck more snuggly than a really, really snug thing. While we were at it, I also asked him to refit the original CV high-mass bridge, plugging and re drilling as required. So, it’s now a very pretty, very solid, well playing bass that I could quite easily keep (as it’s worth far more than the sum of its parts now Jon has breathed on it) but I’m on a mission to clear out most of my gear as I no longer gig (nor do I really have a desire to). There are a few marks on the body (the worst one being to the left of the bridge) that I’ve captured in the pictures. The neck is in beautiful condition save for one of those weird carbon scuff marks that is under the lacquer (so you can’t actually feel) and a pin prick sized indentation. One point of note is that now the original bridge is back on, the holes for the bridge cover would need to be altered slightly if you were wanting to refit one. EDIT - Weight on my trusty luggage scale is 4.08kg (or pretty much 9lbs in old money). Collection very much preferred although if no collection buyers are forthcoming after a couple of weeks, I may well decide to ship.
