OK - never mind - I decided to go ahead and build this one up. Thanks for all your interest !

That's a nice one. Most VM squiers have 3+ peices of wood joined. That one having just two is probably a little more rare.

Its a good looking body. It won't kill me if it doesn't sell. That would just give me an excuse to build another bass !!!

According to the Fender website, the Squier VM 70's body is made of maple.

A soft maple and Jon at Mouridian guitars said it reminded him of a solid Alder with a very slight brighter pop.

I love this bodies and think they kick butt...

I haven't measured it, but your question DID prompt me to see how my 80's MIJ P Bass neck fit in the pocket, and it was perfect - and now I'm considering building this bass up, so if you're interested, jump on it - I'll probably start building it tomorrow morning. Make a nice "Saturday project".
