Just needs a tort pickguard and it would be perfect! Lovely. I've always wondered about these. I have space in my 'collection' for a body-less, head-less bass currently occupied by Hohner B2A. But every time one of these puts its head above the parapet I wonder... Or any of the 80s MIJ ones - Washburn Bantam or, particularly, the Aria Pro II Interceptor.

Lee bought a pickup from me in the smoothest of transactions. Instant payment, good comms. Nice fella to deal with. Cheers Paul

I think the problem with this one is that when it was first listed he said it was a '93. Next listing he changed that to an '83, said he bought it from new (hence the dodgy irrelevant swing tag). My memory is not all that great, but I can differentiate what I did in the 80s and 90s. Possibly just a typo but, in that case, why not just say it was a typo? There seems to me to be too many discrepancies to trust the listing, and the dodgy pictures don't help. But as far as JV Squiers in general are concerned they are absolutely superb. I have one and it is a corker.

Mine arrived today. First impression is that it is totally indestructible. What a great bit of kit! Even the carry bag I bought looks like it will last a century or two. Why did I wait so long before trying one!? I may well trade up all my other stands to Hercules if that is the build quality.

Didn't get past the fifth fret on my first night.

I don't know about a second coming but this is about the 3rd or 4th listing....

And exceptionally good value, too.

Starting at £350.

Not sure I want to see one again, to be honest, but someone will like it!

Does this work? Edit - Yes! Edit again - that Squier Jag looks superb! What does it sound like? So - you showed us yours, I'll show you mine! My Fender Mustangmaster ®©™ [sharedmedia=core:attachments:168550] Long version of story - I bought this 1978 Fender Musicmaster on eBay quite cheaply - £250! - thought it was my only chance to own a real vintage Fender! After a close inspection I discovered that the line I could see in the body was a a bit of an issue - the body is actually split in the upper bout down to the join and has been badly glued together. Proves the old maxim that anything that seems too good to be true most likely is. Probably unsellable as it is without making a big loss, so I decided to get a Precision pickup put in to beef up the sound - the biggest drawback with the Musicmaster. So off it went to Howard the Bass Doc, who routed out the middle to take the pickup and made a new scratchplate to accommodate it. Made a cracking job of it, too. Sounds great. Not like the Musicmaster, but not like a Precision, either. There is a sweet spot just forward of the pickup that sounds divine!

There you go Mel. Nice, innit! A Bass Doc special. Howard routed for the P-Bass pup (now a Wizard Trad) and made a new scratchplate. I call it my 'Mustangmaster'. Nice thumpy thing it is too. [attachment=168550:mustangmaster.jpg]
