So I bought this lovely MIJ ‘83/‘84 SQ series Squier Precision from here last week. It’s strung with roundwounds and plays like a dream with a low action and punchy sound. It’s all original with the exception of the pots/loom which is a KiOrgan replacement. The original pots are included. The bass weighs 4.1kgs and is very comfortable to play. These basses were produced for a period alongside the legendary JV series instruments - JV denotes Japanese Vintage SQ denotes Squier. The main difference is that the SQ series were less vintage accurate and hardware was similar to 70’s era Fenders. The build quality and finishing superior to many US Fenders of the same era hence these instruments being quite sought after. This one is no exception and sounds, looks and plays superbly. At the same time as I bought this I managed to bag another JV Precision on eBay with a maple neck so I’ve decided to move this on quickly before I bond with it too much! There are very few marks and a bit of paint rub/ wear on the edge. See pics. It is a beauty and I’m selling for what I paid for it - case included. UK only. I’d prefer pickup but will post at buyers expense. Under the pick guard pic C/O original owner Stinson. No trades sorry. http://www.21frets.com/squier_jv/thesqpage.htm

To be honest I’d prefer a local sale, Ive already had an enquiry about posting it but having checked it out I’m not sure - I doubt I would be able to insure it properly. I think it will be a nightmare to post this safely at a reasonable cost. Sorry.

Postage is an option on the understanding that it would be at your expense/risk and full insurance would be required. It is risky posting it as it’s an odd thing to pack but I can put extra packing round the headstock and wrap it in the cardboard it came in with extra around the head. It will cost around £25/30 to post insured however.

I got this from eBay as it was a bit of a bargain, it cost me £125 plus postage. There’s a thread below about some fellow Basschatters experiences. Mine turned up in good condition though minus one of the braces and with knobs that work but turn indefinitely. It plays and sounds fine with a few dings - alas it’s not for me however I just don’t get on with the body - or lack of it. So it’s here for sale at £125. I really do not want to post it as it will be very awkward and the fact I received it in one piece is frankly a miracle! I may trade for a Squier P Bass or decent P Bass neck with maple board. No other trades thanks. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/313608-stagg-eub-bargains/

Yes it is B-C

Cheers guys, more info - after some research - it’s from 1998 and it has alnico pickups (single coil), 35” scale and 3 band eq.

Here’s a rather lovely Yamaha TRB 6 Japanese model. I think it dates from the early 2000’s as the previous owner bought it used around 10 years ago. It’s active for a wide variety of sounds and a broad tonal range. The neck is straight and true, frets have plenty of life and it has a low action. I’ve not touched the trussrods but they look in good condition the laminate neck is wide but comfy due to the shallow profile. All hardware is gold plated and the body and headstock fascia has a transparent red/cherry finish. Typical Yamaha exceptional build quality it’s a very playable high 6 string for not much dosh. No trades sorry, this comes with a gigbag so I’d prefer pickup. UK only. There’s one cosmetic ding on the body near to where the neck bolts on and a couple around the body edge, the neck is excellent.The back cover of one tuner is missing. The bass weighs a healthy but well balanced 5.2kgs.
