Hi all,

Just got my new Squier CV Precision bass back from the shop where it's had some upgrades done! Won the bass for a song on eBay and decided to spruce it up a bit with the following parts:

- Fender Custom Shop 1963 pickup
- Cloth Wiring
- CTS Pots
- Switchcraft Jack
- Real Celluloid Tort Scratchplate
- Telecaster Knobs

And here's the end result:

A real beauty of a bass! Please note some filters have been used on the photo :)

Plays like a dream, she's strung with TI Flatwounds for that vintage thud. I am considering putting a piece of foam under the strings at the bridge to go for a more Jamerson-esque tone. Have some blues gigs coming up and I can't wait to bring her out! To be honest, the Precision neck feels only marginally different in my hand to my other Squier CV Jazz - both very easy to play.

:)

These CV Squiers are absolutely fabulous
Great build quality, great feel & sound
and IMHO, the Fiesta Red P is the best looker (esp with tort plate) :)
Had one myself, and sold it, to get a Bitsa P/J which is great, but not quite as good, quality-wise as these CV's

You're right about the necks on these. They're not as chunky as a US P bass
Just a tad wider than a Jazz, and they feel superb, with a great finish
and are a joy to play :)

Lucky you, to get it for a song
Now, play it, enjoy it, and hang on to it

That's beautiful Danny. The best colour in the range for me.

I'm still hoping to come to hear your BB2 sometime. :)

You're welcome anytime Frank - will keep you posted with local gigs.. I'm considering adding another BF cab to the arsenal - maybe a Super Twin!
