I have one, it’s awesome and would have saved me a lot of wasted money had it been around when I was a youngster! Only negative is weight, my mex P feels a lot lighter. Id second this ,she wont go wrong with a Sire V5,can't be beaten for the price IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got on of the origial CV60’s and it has outlasted other Jazz basses ive had. Squier are well made these days and the necks are really nice. Id vote against the Sires. As much as i loved my frist Gen it was heavy with a chunky neck, and as the briefings mentioned preferably passive id say look for passive basses rather than active and not use it. A sire Jazz with a chunky Neck hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted November 9 Author Share Posted November 9 (edited) After getting no response from people selling a Sadowsky Metro and lovely 1984 Tokai Sound, I spotted a MIM Fender Player II which I don't think has been played, its still got the cellophane on the pickups, tuners, pickguard and control plate and its £250 less than rrp sp I bought it.

SteveXFR Posted November 10 Author Share Posted November 10 Now I've just got to find somewhere to hide it until Christmas. Her band are headlining a show for the first time next weekend, it's so tempting to let her have it for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being seriously considered. They're really excited. It's in the venue where they played their first support set and now they've got two support acts with them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different feeling bass could be enough to throw your performance off. Mix that with the nerves of headlining and it might not play out as the dream scenario.

Grahambythesea Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 (edited) Spector Coda is a good alternative in your price range. Has EMG pickups and the Spector Tone Pump which sets it apart a bit. Sorry I was a bit late to this party didn’t notice you’d bought one, Edited November 10 by Grahambythesea Added para. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a 97 in Lake Placid blue, I think you have Pelham Blue. Though after saying that I spotted this on Reverb which they claim is Lake Placid blue. and then went down the rabbit hold and found these load of Fender blues https://offsetguitars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=115967 So I have absolutely no idea what colour it is, black, red, purple?

That’s by far the darkest I’ve seen, and translucent too? Does the Fender paperwork confirm its LPB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
