Very eloquently written, I liked what you said and really couldn't agree more. You showed me yours so I'll show you mine... I've added a pic to the post above So you have two '62 Jazz Basses and I have two '57 Precisions, If you're up for a swap I reckon I sure am Bye for now buddy

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1392585222' post='2370421'] No, apparently unrelated.... http://gaskellguitars.com/downloads/77-woods.html [/quote] Great link, ta. Now I'm really surprised/confussed, but still a lovely bass with huge tone :-)

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1392585584' post='2370426'] I assume it was this one that ended today? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Squier-JV-57-precision-rare-first-series-/171240590482 [/quote] Ooh, missed that one!

Thanks Luke. The grain looks just like Ash and the sound is spot on too for Ash. I thought Sen was a variety of Ash? Worth less? But then less is more, no? Cheers

[attachment=155565:P1060031.JPG] I really like the old original first series JV Basses, so much so I just bought my second '57 Reissue earlier today. Greedy, but hey ho, the new laptop will have to wait and I'll just keep on banging my current laptop's screen till it works, because these basses are reasonably rare. The first series JV's are the ones with the large Fender logo and small Squier logo, and were only made for 2-3 months. But what I love best of all, is the ash bodies they used on these first few (later changing to Alder/Basswood). Ash body and maple neck, mmmm.... ([b]edit[/b]: Cheers Luke for the info, turns out Sen isn's a true ash wood, still sounds lovely though with lots of thump!) The other Squier JVs are also great basses and I've owned some lovely ones, but these first series basses just seem to have that bit extra in the wood/tone department. I'm a proud owner of an original 1966 Precision, and I've had all sorts of vintage and high end basses, yet I'm still astounded at how good these basses are, the sound and feel are just wonderful. I'm not saying that these are 'better than the US ones' or 'Custom Shop quality' etc, just that they are sweet basses. I'd love to hear the thoughts of other proud owners or people who have played/owned these in the past. Cheers

[quote name='TJson' timestamp='1386619807' post='2302329'] My Precision [/quote] Gorgeous, is it a 1960?

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1387277712' post='2310054'] What a bummer. I suggest you donate to a gigging fellow like myself ;-) Such a shame that Modulus don't seem to be around anymore. [/quote] Donate, no. Part exchange, maybe. How about this bass for your spine? Then again, not sure about that one myself.... This pics don's show the sparkle unfortunately, when a light is on it's dazzling
