Telebass

And another endorsement for these great wiring kits! Thanks, John!

[quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1341755709' post='1723575'] I always look at the neck, because it looks gorgeous. I also love the silky feel of the back of the neck in my hand. [/quote] This! And he day you see John Williams playing a classical piece without looking, I'll be concerned about looking at the fretboard. The guitarist/bassist who can play a set without looking at some point has yet to be born. And if he was born, it would probably be a sign of boredom rather than 'cool as f**k', IMHO...

They ruly are wondrous for the money. Having developed an unpleasantly inense thing for Jazzes lately, I was stunned, in Manson's the other day, to see the Squier VM 77 Jazz. It's on the llst...

Stunning!

Having had something of a Damascene conversion to the A necked beasties recently, I've decided that henceforth, all my basses, including the black Precision, will eventually have bound-and-blocks 'A' necks. For example the ex-Shockwave bitsa now wears an Allparts black blocks neck. Lee's (Rasta) jazz (swapping for 51RI tomorrow) has white binding/pearl blocks. When I can afford it, I'll get anoher Allparts black blocks jobbie for the P bass, thereby making it like the custom one-off shown on page 54 of The Fender Bass: An Illustrated History., except mine has a b/w/b pickguard. Anyone else as blocks-bonkers as this?

Welcome!

I've owned one. It was great quality. My current bitsa Jazz has a really nice Squier body. But one thing really, really bugs me. If I wrote that I palyed a Fendre Precision, all would chortle merrily. Or Gisbon. Or Rickenbarker. So please, spell it right. It really IS NOT Squire, it is [color=#ff0000][b]SQUIER[/b][/color]. Rant over.

Ah, I see! In fact, for a standard neck, it's now a bit deep! However, it works fine with the Allparts jobie that's on there now. I'm loving it!

Squier, so far as I know, although there are no markings on it.

Starting to look like a sunburst Geddy! [attachment=112414:Dsc00002.jpg] Still some work to do yet, so the bridge will be changed for a chrome one, and some Wizard 64's and a KioGon wiring harness will be installed at the earliest opportunity! [attachment=112415:Dsc00004.jpg] What's been done so far - new neck (thanks Higgie!) and a genuine Fender control plate in chrome. Just need a proper Fender string tree!
