  1. [quote name='gary mac' post='1065752' date='Dec 21 2010, 03:11 PM']I've got a VMJ and it's a very very good bass. I would advise you to try before buying though as the first three I tried were decidely ropey one way or another. Also some of them are very heavy, for example my daughters one is over 11lb.[/quote] Yeah, my fretless feels like an entire tree sometimes. I want a bass to get a bit funky with and I move around I'm playing so I really don't want to end up with an overly heavy bass.

I also find the fretted VMs to sound quite average too - make sure you try a CV first, just in case you prefer it - I know I did, and I liked the look (initially) of the VM more![/quote] Thanks, I will give it a go. Reckon I will end up with the VM though as I'm looking for maple fretboard. You are right I really should check it out, I don't want to end up with a dud and ,although people have lots of praise for them, they cant possibly [i]all[/i] be great for less that £300!
  3. You're probably right, I may give that a go. I have a MIM fretless that I've had for about 10 years, I'd be interested to compare the build quality to the squire when I get it. Already got a set of TI jazz roundwounds waiting for it
  4. Hi, I've been lurking on this site for a while and thought you guys might be able to give me some advice. I really like the look of the Squier Vintage modified jazz bass and think I will get myself during the Christmas period. I want to hear about your experiences of the construction of the guitar, specifically how closely the grain is matched in the body. A shop near me has them in stock for £260 but I could get one online for £225 and put the money saved towards an upgraded bridge or pots if I feel it is necessary. I've heard lots of good stuff about this bass but is buying online a safe bet or do you think I should spend the extra cash and check the guitar out properly? Thanks in advance.
