Telebass Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Nice! [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/news/index.php?display_article=139&EDID=723ENOG-ZJ7-193MB-1QDV-404O-v1"]Luvverly![/url] Quote
tredders Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 That does look really nice, doesn't it? Not much money either... £259 at GAK. Would make a nice cheap gigging bass. Quote
ezbass Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Pino on the cheap. The 60s CV that I played was really nice, these basses definitely punch above their weight and now they're avaiable in a (IMO) much better colour scheme. Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I'm sure there's another thread on this very bass in this very colour I played one of these the other day & it pounded a Mex Classic 50's Precision into the ground in terms of output & playability. They are very very good. Quote

warwickhunt Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Not sure I've seen the Fiesta red ones as cheap as £259, the blue ones at GAK for that price... £279 @ Soundslive is the cheapest I can find Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 If I needed another precision I'd be all over one of these. The fiesta red looks great. [quote]£259[/quote] A pound less than I paid Rockbottom for my MIA 'QEII anchor' cherryburst precision - bought new in 1982 when the MIJ Squier JVs (with fender logo) were £150. Quote

jezzaboy Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Merchant city in Glasgow has one in for £279. Runs to check credit card balance!!! Jez Quote
faceman Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Just picked up one of these babies from The Gallery in return for my SUB, just not the found I was looking for! Does anyone have any suggestions for flats to put on this baby? Was thinking either TIs or the La Bella Jamerson ones but I know nothing about flats. Also might go for bridge and pickup covers, best place for these? eBay? thanks! Quote

The Jamersons are mahoosive (the E is 110) and can knacker a bass neck as well as your fingers! Or as Beedster would say, they are a man's strings Quote
faceman Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Jesus, 110 that's a big E! I'll probably grab a pair of the Chromes as I've had good experience with the EXL rounds. I'll probably do a mini review and some pictures when I've had a chance to play it through my rig up north! So far. Looks very sexy. Neck is very fit. All good so far Quote
warwickhunt Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Yes, be aware those Jamerson's are not only 110's but being flats they have a lot more mass to them and they are like ship's hawsers! Quote
