neilb Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) 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!!!! Edited May 4, 2010 by neilb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 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.
