On Squier CV bass, picked originally over a fender MiM bass (which was actually not much more expensive) because it sounded and played better, not because of some inferiority complex as some people would have you believe :D

I have kept this bass for several years because it had sentimental value, but it has been sitting around unplayed for several years and that is a bit pointless. All my basses are regularly gigged apart from this one, that hasn't been gigged since my last group 4 years ago. Because of the sitting around it does have crackling volume control, I will take that apart and spray it to see if it makes a difference.

The other thing that kept me not wanting to sell it is the look of the neck when playing it - it really is nicer looking than all the other fender styles I had apart from the flame maple on my Maruszczyk. Unfortunately the thing that stops me playing it is I could park a truck between the strings, and for someone who thinks that the 16.5mm string spacing on the ibanez is a bit agrophobic, the 19mm+ spacing on these is way too much for me.

So in the end I decided to trade it for a jazz, and as no trades came up here, I bought a jazz and now have to sell this.

I have the metal plate thing that gets in the way of the bridge in a box somewhere which I could add.

 

I am currently lacking boxes as nothing I bought recently had one, so pickup is best for me, and any offers really depend on closeness. I can deliver or meet people within 30-40 miles of yeovil and I get to bath and bristol often, and maybe also exeter at weekends.

It wasn't a crackling volume, it was an intermittent tone control because the capacitor had a dry joint, that is now fixed, works like a charm.

i notice when doing that there is a very small hole in the pick guard next to the tone control, you can see it on the body pictures when zoomed in, at one point this had a g3k midi pickup on it and the tone control was taken off (possibly relates to the problem above), the hole was a mounting lug for that.
