Cosmo Valdemar Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 11 hours ago, Happy Jack said: I always felt that Baritone Guitar was a better (and more accurate) description. For the Bass VI? It's all about the range darling. Baritones don't go that low. And, despite the best efforts of most Youtube demos, the VI makes for a fine bass guitar, in the right circumstances (ignore the chap miming). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Quite possibly the worst looking finish any manufacturer has ever come up with. Absolutely the most hideous colour combo burst, and then replicating it on the pickguard is another level of foul. Like watching someone be sick, and then eat it again. It's not for me, if you were wondering. 😁 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StingRayBoy42 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I love anything that's a hideous colour, but that's too much for me. "Pub toilet" is bang on. I do like block markers though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 In seriousness I always thought the Antigua finish had a green hue to it, not this weird khaki brown. I like the original Antigua, but if I had one of these I'd get a custom pickguard made that features chunks of carrot, urinal cakes and cigarette butts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police squad Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 the blocks spoil it for me, shame really as I could find room for a bass VI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige1968 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Finish seems to have a faded look compared to the greyer NOS Mexican ones they did a few years back. Hate Marmite. Love Antigua. Give us a Jazz with a dark fretboard and pale blocks/binding and I'll be, as they say, all over it. This is only my opinion, of course; but then, it is the right one.

Highfox Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 How do you think these newer CV'S will be for quality, any thoughts? I'm almost sure I want the pub stained toilet P-bass Read mixed reviews online for the 70's CV's. Anyone got one? I do own a CV 50's P which is ok and stable, but I did pick that up for under €300 new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't worry about it, personally - some will be great, some will be not so great and you won't know until you have it in your hands.

Sibob Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) The worst part about these are the inappropriate block inlays on the Precision! Unforgivable haha! They did it on the Mocha P too, come on Squier! FWIW, I love Antigua 😁 Si Edited April 18 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highfox Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 The P bass has landed. First impression are very good. Fit and finish seem to be spot on, out of the box it was setup better than a lot of the Fenders I have bought. Weight is ok. Tone and volume pots fully function. Everything seems good so far on this. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
