Squier CV Jazz, GAS price reduction £325. China made. Olympic white - *SOLD* £400 Tunbridge Wells

[basscki]

I bought this many years ago on this forum and have found, as many bassists here and elsewhere have noted, that China built models are not far short of a US/Japan Fender in terms of build quality and sound. The only shortcoming I've found is the chrome plating which tends to get a bit discoloured after a while.

 

It comes with the original tort pick guard and a black/white/black one I've fitted which I think looks nicer.  It also has four control plates: the original chrome one (if you want the mojo), a new chrome one, gold, and black.  It currently sports the gold one but the black looks particularly good with the black pick guard. When replacing the control plate I also replaced the original knobs and the jack socket which had become a bit iffy. 

 

I look after my instruments well so Its in excellent condition with the only blemishes I can see being: slight headstock scratching (low ceiling!), some bridge dirt/discolouration (which might well clean off), and a few extremely small surface marks that don't show up in photos and you would only notice if you're looking for really closely.

 

I'll ship it in a cheap but perfectly decent Harley Benton gig bag which is nearly new.

 

I'd prefer collection or a meet up within a reasonable distance of Tunbridge Wells (or could meet central London near a mainline station like Charing Cross, London Bridge etc).  Postage an option if buyer arranges courier and takes responsibility once consigned. Prefer UK sale as I don't enjoy the customs overhead post Brexit.

Sometimes it's difficult to remember ... but did that used to be mine?

[basscki]

No, I bought it from a BCer called to "Out To Play Jazz" who I haven't noticed on here for quite a while

Wow, that's a member name I've not heard in a long, long while.  Its sad when people vanish, hope he's okay

That's a good looking bass! Nice dark rosewood fretboard. The gold control plate sets off the brass saddles nicely too.

[MungoBass]

Very nice looking bass and these do have a good reputation.  If only I had not just bought a Precision......

Cheapest China made CV Squier on this forum. I think one more week on and then I'll withdraw it and thin another candidate from the herd.

Wonderful necks on these. A great bass all round. Much preferred mine to the MIM and USA models I used to have.

[basscki]

I agree. So much so I'm not sure I want to sell it any more!

The GAS is strong with this one

New Year, I've been told I need to restart the clear out ...
