Okay, so who here has twins?

Not strictly speaking identical twins. My son's Jazz and my Precision.

I build the eight and five string in the early 90's before I even knew Tune existed, they are actually my own design. :)
The seven string was build three years ago and the other two were rebuild shortly after I finished that one.

Even more impressive that you built the 8-string having never heard of Tune. All it needs is a whammy bar...

Just received yesterday my second Squier Classic Vibe Jazz! I've recently realised that the CV Jazz is without doubt my favourite bass to play and I love the sound! So when searching for a good bass to use as a backup, it was the logical choice!

The rest of my band think I'm weird (I'm not going to disagree), but if something works, why not!

Anyone else in the same boat?

Cheers,
James

The Squier CV J's are outstanding basses. Too good NOT to have! I have one although I already have a MIA standard J. For the price, they're a great back up. But two?

My Jazz twins:

1) sonic blue MIJ 62 reissue, dating from 1993-94, bought from eBay in July 2012
2) oly white MiA, 2010, bought via Basschat in Sept 2012



As is usually the case with twins, it was not part of the plan to have two - the story is that I bought the first one and enjoyed playing it so much that I thought I would upgrade to an MIA and flog the MIJ. So, as soon as an MIA in my favourite Oly White/Tort/Rosewood combo appeared in 'Basses for Sale' I pounced. And it was indeed a superior instrument in every respect: high mass bridge instead of BBOT, much better pickups, much better taper on the tone control (the MIJ is either on or off, basically), better fretboard radius and thus lower action, alder body rather than basswood or whatever it is the MIJ is made of ... etc etc. And yet ... I keep coming back to Sonic the Wonderjazz (as it is now known in my family) and am now even contemplating selling the MIA on again, as it is hard to justify having both. But whenever I get the MIA out again I think 'Oooh, this is nice, maybe I should revert to plan A and sell the MIJ", and here I am a year later, still in possession of twins! I'm so weak ...

Well, I had three, but now they're just two...
