my new squier VMJ

[steve]

my new baby, bought it from SC in Salford, one hell of a bass for £215, really, really punchy

the pics are a bit poor, but I'm particularly taken by the grain on the fretboard

[Buzz]

Ooooh, nice bit of maple on that fretboard.

Pick mine up on Friday 28th...

Early Christmas present... I've been good...

I'm sure you deserve it, you won't be disappointed.

You can't beat that for 200 quid, eh? What a looker.

[Alun]

Congratulations - they're great basses.

yeah, I love it, needs a bit of tinkering, but that's part of the fun of getting to know a new bass

[steve]

so I decided togo with the neck pup cover. I'd had it stuck on for a week or so with no nails tape stuff. Looks cool, but in a much more utilitarian light, it encouraged me to explore plucking the strings in different positions (I hadn't realised how little I had explored this), which made me look at varying how hard I was plucking the strings...... I could go on

anyway, it's looking like this at the moment

I love the unintentional soft focus . I'm still considering putting on a set of black beauties

[Paul Cooke]

got mine on Friday... took it to a jam session yesterday... the others loved it and the tone I was getting.

I won't be doing anything to it yet except put some flats on when I've played out the original strings...

I'm also thinking of putting a ramp on between the neck and the neck pickup...
