ead Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Most unusually for me I have pre-ordered one of these. Hopefully with a few mods will be a decent enough and gig-able substitute for the real thing. https://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier-electric-basses/jazz-bass/limited-edition-classic-vibe-mid-60s-jazz-bass/0374533505.html Edited April 11 by ead 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Yep! It's a 1966 reissue minus the lollipop tuners. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAgent Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Oh wow, that looks stunning! Hope it sounds as good as it looks. But well, being a Squier CV, I guess it'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea fingers crossed. HB7s with lollipops very much most of the upgrade plan. Not much else although depending on the sound, a KiOgon loom may be on the shopping list.

At least two retailers are still taking order so I have tried with Thomann on the basis that they may have good purchasing power. Quite annoying really as I bought the tuners in case there was a rush on them as well. Still I'm sure I'll find a good use for them.
