Squier Classic Vibe 5 string Jazz. I'm surprised. Very surprised.

Recently joined a band (second rehearsal tomorrow) and it's looking like they might want to take on a few pub gigs to just hone the set and performance so,..

 

Bought a pub cheapy for the usual reasons.

 

I picked up a Classic Vibe Jazz 5 locally. The guy had bought it 6 months previous so I wasn't expecting much with him moving it on that quickly but it still had all the plastic on it.

I've also got the original packaging with his name and address on. It stands me in £175 + new strings. 

 

Wow, that neck and fret board.  Frets perfectly finished, no sharp edges, love the gloss feel, in fact, it reminds me of the 5 string Elite I sold here a couple of years ago. Great sound through my Shuttle 6.0.

Plays like a dream with the LaBella low tension flats on.

The only down side is, it's on the heavy side but as their set list appears to be just 20 numbers, I won't be standing on a stage for 3 hours.  I think these things are only about £300 or so new. Can't believe it for the money.
