All change AGAIN!!!

[neilb]

I have moved on my two MIM Fenders, initially to make way for a US Standard Jazz with maple neck (what I have always dreamt of).

I then could not pass up a Squier Classic Vibe Precision Bass in the new Fiesta Red for the silly sum of £190.


So, here is my main gigging bass, a 2006 US Std Jazz:




..and the bargain Squier:






This has fallen victim to some modding by me. It now sports a more red plate (which I prefer), a set of Wizard pups, new wiring with CTS pots, orange sprague cap switchcraft socket all connected with better quality wire. I have also removed the Hi Mass Squier bridge (for some reason I didnt like it) and installed a standard Fender bridge and cover.

It awaits a new set of reverse Vintage tuners as the Squier ones are arse.

I have also tweaked the neck a tad, full set up and lemon oiled the board. Frets were all excellent anyway.

Sounds brill and looks really retro.

No more GAS for now!!!!

Lovely basses, Neil. I really liked the S1 series Jazz I had a while back. It was among the best Jazz basses I've ever played.

Funny how a 'mere' new colour option has made the Squier CV 60's Precision one of the most desirable basses of the moment - And quite rightly so.
