1989 Squier HM Bass


Recommended Posts

Is it a 4? is it a 5? 

 

I very nearly bought a white one of these 30 years ago.  Even stuck a £20 deposit on it before finding a black Charvel Fusion V in a local music shop and begging my girlfriend to lend me difference. 

 

Before you judge me as a typical sponging muso, I should add we've now been married 23 years.  Knew she was a keeper.

Mmm looks like the (bodge job) master luthier work of “he who shall not be named” 

You know: take a perfectly playable instrument, make unnecessary alterations (badly), then justify your handy work with a lengthy sales spiel and charge more than a new unmolested instrument. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Your eyes must be failing you here, that Squier has had a new nut (which seems to be cut correctly) and a 4 string bridge. Our bizarre friend would have just ground new slots in the existing saddles (probably using a sparpened soup spoon) and reshaped the nut (possibly with the same spon, who knows?) to barely accept 4 strings. Also the tuners are all at acceptable angles and the control knobs are all the same colour.
