Iv'e just popped John's loom in the CV (250 pots .1cap).........wow....just wow! i love this thing ,it can't be a Squier / surely ?? :-D these pickups sing.
if i had to find any gripes then i would say the tuners,they hold tune ok but are a bit chaff!(gonna change them) and the fairly light basswood can give a slightly cheaper feel (a plus in my books as no shoulder aches from long playing) the neck pocket is super snug without gaps and frets,finish etc are great! ..spend a few £'s on a decent loom and tuners and you have a serious sounding and feeling P. spankingly good bass for money .
