Short Scale Squier JV

[desh]

Does such a thing exist?
If so,is the whole bass scaled down or just a short neck?
How's one sound.
Are they more or less valuable than standard.
thanks

[LukeFRC]

pretty sure they don't exist. could be wrong but don't think I am.

[Doddy]

As far as I'm aware there wasn't a short scale JV series Squier.
I know that there was a '57 and '62 Precision and a '62 Jazz ,but
I don't know of a short scale model.

[EssentialTension]

There are medium (i.e. 32") scale MIJ Fender Jazz and Precision but I never heard of a JV Squier version.

Pretty sure there wasn't a short-scale JV, but if there was, they'll know about it here:

Nope! The JV's only ever came as a full 34" scale.

However if anyone has a short/medium scale bass and feels the need for some flats... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72792"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72792[/url]

Shameless I know but it just might be what someone is looking for.

I was only ever aware of the E series 32" Squier Japan P-bass. There was one on here back in the summer that I nearly bought but didn't in the end.

There wasn´t a JV era shortscale.
Just the P and J bass
Was there a squier bullet bass? I know there was the Fender and there is a squier bullet guitar
Think the next run of squier shorties was the Vista Tone series?

Could be totally wrong here

[hillbilly deluxe]

Squier bullet bass.

CO wikipedia.

The Fender Bullet Bass is an electric bass guitar model produced by Fender. It was introduced in 1982 as a part of a new line of guitars meant to replace the outgoing Mustang and Musicmaster - Fender's so called "student" guitars. The Bullet Bass had Mustang style pickups, but was available with a standard 34" neck in addition to the short scale 30" neck that the Mustang had. These instruments were only produced in the USA for a couple years until Fender decided to transfer Bullet production to Japan in 1984/85. They then fell under Fender's newly active Squier branding.

[Doddy]

The Fender Bullet line of instruments were actually made in America between about '82 and 84',
and production was moved to Japan in about '84-'85 and rebranded as the Squier Bullet.
The early Japanese models had an SQ serial number.

So,no there are no Squier JV series short scale basses.

SQ Bullets are 34" scale, there's no short scale afaik.

Do want, though.

[hillbilly deluxe]

I typed in 30" squier bullet bass.

[Doddy]

But the bass in the vid is an '82 Fender Bullet-not Squier. The Squier Bullet came
a couple of years later.

[Bassassin]

There are short scale Bullets, but the 34" SQ I'm talking about is this:

If we're talking Japanese home-market range, we're opening a whole new kettle of worms...

[i]Must[/i] organise a field-trip. Who's up for it?

[Wes Wemyss]
