To name a few. Bon Scott, Malcolm Young, Paul Hester, Phil Lynott, Rory Gallagher, Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder, Mick Karn, Freddie, Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny & Tommy, Philthy 'Animal' Taylor, Lemmy, Eddie Clarke. and most recently Mark Hollis & Paul Raymond.

Yes thought of that route earlier but the high mass saddles are slightly wider and the height adjustment screws sit in recesses on the base plate.

Wasn't taking it as an insult mate and yeah I binned off a 1979 Fender P because the Squier JV I bought as a back up in 1983 was far nicer to play.

Hi Dave What's on the headstock doesn't bother me, I'm not a label snob mate. I already own two Epi Thunderbirds (a Classic Pro & a Vintage Pro) The Classic was bought as it felt nicer than the Gibson equivalent which I tried at the same time. I also own a Squier CV 70's P and like yourself I find the string spacing uncomfortable, esp when playing with a pick. as for swapping out the High Mass, I attempted to do this and found only the middle three screw holes matched up, didn't fancy drilling, so I backed off and left the High Mass on.

Cheers Dannybuoy, Sadly mate the nearest decent music shop closest to me is Manson's in Exeter and their website is sketchy on what they have in stock, unless of course you're shopping for something that's over a 1K. I usually buy via Anderton's and take advantage of their 30 day no hassle returns period.

Cheers Yorkie That is one lovely looking bass mate. I've gone for the Black/Maple (though the White PG will need to be replaced with Black) from Andertons, sadly not due in until June 3rd.

Cheers bassix I've just been reading some reviews on that other bass forum (over the pond) some are saying that this latest runs of CV's are of a poorer finish quality than previous CV's (I have a 70's CV) and are more than likely to be rebranded VM's. I've decided to pass on getting one, (unless you can convince me otherwise) I'm thinking of pre-ordering a Mex Fender Player Precision as I can't justify going all out for a US model.

Hi, I'm considering purchasing one of these but thought I would ask here first if anybody has tried one or know if the vintage style BBOT on them is standard size, or wider like the Hi-Mass bridges on previous CV models? Thanks in advance

If you haven't already, you chaps should check out these lads from Argentina. Steve Hackett has been known to perform with them.

When challenged, he goes off on tangents without answering any questions asked of him and just attacks you. Comes across as unstable. It's a crime that ebay keep on allowing him to trade his monstrosities, he needs to be closed down.

Brace yourselves!

Immensely talented fella

Surprise surprise the stereo Precision didn't sell...........What an appalling bodger!

He sets himself up for ridicule, eg Cleartone Guitar Conversions......Don't they just look like they deliver? Hahahaha As for his 100% feedback! It wouldn't surprise me if he had family members and friends bidding on his MONSTROSITIES to attain that score.

I'll second every word of that! I bought my Epi Classic Pro from Hartnoll's in Taunton back in 2012 for £399. Having tried the Gibson they had in stock, it never felt or sounded that superior that it made me want to pay an extra £700 for it.

A bit of pre work listening.

It's not one from he who can't be named is it?

Yes so true! But at the end of the day neither suffered for having a lack of big hits.

Sublime!
