rjb Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Hi, So what we have here is a Squier Precision Standard Special V in what appears to be metallic red. I bought this to noodle around on whilst keeping an eye out for a pricier five string bass (Warwick, of course). It's great fun to play and in great nick. The only thing wrong with it is that one of the knobs has been replaced and doesn't match the others. It makes a nice rumbly, middy sound. Now looking for [b]£100[/b] - a nice, cheap way to get some five string, Fender-shaped action! Offers considered. There's no case with it, so would prefer a pick up with cash. I'm in London. Cheers! ****SALE PENDING**** Edited September 8, 2009 by rjb

Did you get a new Thumb bass yet, or are you on the lookout for something else?

If the right one comes up at the right price then I'm sure I could find the readies...I’d still love another.
bythesea Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Can't believe that is still here. Looks a bargain for someone wanting a first fiver.
51m0n Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Stupid question of the day - if that's a P why has it got J pups?
waynepunkdude Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 IIRC they made the Squiers with J pick ups to cut down costs,
rjb Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 Yes, it is a strange set-up, but the Js do a good P impression! The best thing about this bass is the neck, which is very nice to play for a budget instrument.
