paul_5 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Pretty nice those, I had one a while ago and thought it was a lot of bass for the money. At £60 it's a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The only thing that would stop me is the 5 strings. Otherwise I'd buy it straight off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roceci Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Haha what can I say? It's just down the road & I just got paid...it's ideal as I recently got a Squier VM P5 & really wanted a RW neck...hopefully this'll fit so I can swap out the maple. What's with the J pup configuration on this tho? I'm not seeing a split coil in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It's got J-J pickups. Can't remember what the model is called, something like a Standard Special V. I had one briefly but when I got an Antoniotsai with a considerably less chunky neck, I moved it on. £60 is a very good price if you get on with the neck, going rate used to be £100-£150.

roceci Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I did worry for a bit that I might be about to meet the infamous Mark D Philips in the flesh hawking one of his 'creations'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Carter Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Nope, I have one of these, solid old Squire Affinity 5. Retail for around £200. Chunky old neck that I never got on with, now sits under the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Carter Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ignore me, mines a J5 not a P5 [url="http://www.fender.com/squier/series/affinity/affinity-jazz-bass-v-5-string-rosewood-fingerboard-brown-sunburst/"]http://www.fender.com/squier/series/affinity/affinity-jazz-bass-v-5-string-rosewood-fingerboard-brown-sunburst/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roceci Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Just got back with it. Needs a bit of cleaning but wow, what a Squier. Build is excellent, neck seems solid & plays fast, much better bridge than I got stock on my VM P5 recently. Pups are great for stock & even the strings are decent which is a surprise as I'm guessing they're the stock Fenders which I've never got on with previously. True to the seller's word, the thing's hardly been played as it's pretty much mint. A true bargain! Now how do I attach pics to my posts other than linking to a URL?
