I see that you live overseas... Sadly here in the States you can walk into a music store and pick up a VM Squier and get better tone than a made in America Fender P. Not every single one will sound worse than a Squier, but many actually dont sound any better.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the SPELLING of Squier, not the quality.

I absolutely stumbled upon it. I had no idea that it was a unique or more rare wood cut. I did buy it at Marty's Music in Lebanon, PA - an independent music dealer. I guess they got preference from the factory!

It's a really nice sounding bass, too! Happy, happy

Just pop some new pickups in there if you want. Oh and depending on the bridge you have.. you might want to replace that. Make sure you get one with grooves.. The J's have them the Jag doesn't (for some unknown reason).

Neither my MiM Deluxe Jazz nor my VM-Jazz - nor my VM-Jag - nor my Squier Precision have those grooved bridges.

I don't think I actually miss them either. They are just fine the way they are.

Mine weighs close to 9.5 pounds (no guarantees on the accuracy of that, I used a kitchen scale, it's probably close enough). It doesn't feel especially heavy to me.

This might be a stupid question..

But since the MV only has 20 frets, would it be possible to put a new neck on it with 24?

this might be a "noob" question, I'm afraid a longer neck might mess it all up, but not sure.. basically I'm not sure if getting more frets this way "is a thing" or not <_<

I did some more research, looks like the Warmoth custom neck's the only option for what I had in mind, am I right?
