simon1964 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1350309951' post='1837093'] Yeah, the cynic in me thought a dodgy neck plate etc. [/quote] I wondered that, but he only mentions the JV serial in response to a bidders question. Presumably he would have mentioned it in the ad if he knew what a JV was worth?! And he would have stuck it on a whole bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 ooooohhh someone get this! I could tell what it is just based on the first picture- nevermind seeing the serial. This possibly suggests I've spent too long reading about JV squiers. Buy it for the neck if nothing else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) I think a lot of people twigged that it's a JV - just seeing the tort plate on it got me thinking it was a JV, and judging by the questions a lot of others were thinking the same thing. And since he's added the serial number it'll show up on saved searches of the text. So probably not quite the bargain it might have been. It'll be very interesting to see what it eventually goes for. £650? Maybe more, as people can get a bit silly and mentally take possession of hidden 'bargains' like this.

Ghost Rider Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I bid on it but got out bid Not being able to try it out from a seller that knows nothing about it would put me off bidding too much.

[/quote] You could well be right, I'm just guessing based on the a cost of maybe £100 for a decent set of pickups and pots. It looks fairly tidy but the changes would destroy the value for a collector. We'll just have to wait 5 days to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Pickguards an aftermarket too, which casts doubt over the body being legit, in the absence of all other parts? The neck looks real though, albeit a late one. I'm guessing £420 absolute tops. Probably more like £320. Although these things can be very unpredictable, as we've probably all seen.

Geek99 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 i noticed it too, but t the back is pretty battered and the plate is A/M and it has no pups, no knobs or wiring, Its basically just a body and neck, albeit a nice neck probably and thats assuming it isnt twisted. I think £205 (its current price) is about right for the risk and additnans needed. Its certainly not a "real" JV any more, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the way to tell is to see if the neck heel has been re-drilled, I read years ago that the JV neck heel holes don't match up with later Squier Korean or Chinese bodies.
