    Squire classic vibe?

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I didn't get round to plugging it in but it was new and the build looked good for around 400pounds? Did need a good setup though but that's every bass in a shop I have ever picked up even some very well respected ones.

    Yeah it was a cracker kinda want it back now!

    The best thing about a secondhand bass is you don't have to worry about the first ding as much don't think that bass had anything apart from Some faint pick marks between the bridge and scratchplate from me.

    So I had a spare 5mins at work today stuck in the centre of Hanley so popped into Academy of Sound they don't have many basses usually but now and again a secondhand instrument comes in or the odd fender that's worth a look.
    Strangely this time a Squire stood out from the crowd.
    It was an Inca silver classic vibe with matching headstock, looked really nice good neck pocket and for the money looked like a bit of a steal?
    Now I didn't have time to plug it in but does any Basschatter have any experience with theses are they worth a punt as a gigging back up as I'm tempted to go back and give it a play/maybe buy.

    Mine arrived this morning. Very impressed with it so far. The grain is deeper than i though, and its very nice. Everyone at work has gone "wow". Normally its more like "another bass!!"

    The action seems very high for me, but thats a personal thing and very easy to sort out once i get some new strings on it.

    Im still at work so not had a chance to plug it in, but i feel its definite a keeper.

    I wonder if it's had a change in setup since I let it go as it was really low when I had it setup up with groundwounds?

    So I went along to Wunjos on the strength of this thread, and came away with http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/library/Basses%20CURRENT/Fender%20Precision%202015%20Sandblasted

    So why did I buy it? Was it the great-looking body and lustrous colour? Was it the light weight and impeccable neck? Was it the range of tones on offer - not two but three?

    Or was it the chance to own a basic, simple instrument that requires a 7-word name.

    they are cracking basses I didn't realise I would influence anyone but this is making me regret letting mine go but it sounds like it's going to a good home with Dave_Bass5

    I think it was just the standard tone control. I did love the bass I just find P width necks a bit to much for me even with this being the slim C. Long story playing covers thought I needed a 5 went to David at Cotswolds brought a Shuker (part ex the P) but have since Gone back to my comfort zone with Jazz and Ricks. If I come across the sandblasted Jazz I would really consider one as they are that good!

    Had the sandblasted sapphire blue pbass for a while and used it as my main gigging bass. Was light at around 7.5lbs sounded killer (as a pbass should) neck was a dream being the slim c and had one of if not the best fender neck joints tight and solid as a rock for the money being less than the standard American P you can't go wrong if you like the looks that is.
