NBD! The wifey got me a JJJB off eBay. I have always wanted a LPB w\matching headstock bass. I installed a tortoise PG, strap locks, MOP inlay decals and Elixir strings.
Going to get a Hipshot Detuner, after I figure out what kind it takes.
Although only a Squier, I just thought I would post it anyways because it is really cool!
Setup and plays perfectly, it is a great addition to my Fender 75RI and MM4!
I Recieved it Saturday and was rocking it at rehearsal on Sunday. I will gig a 2.5 hour show on March 15th with my band "Too Fighters", so may the rock Gods smile upon me. A true bonding test for this tool.

But, just as important, you have married a very special girl and don't ever forget it. Any wife who realizes just how important a specific instrument is to you is a one in a million find.

| | | | Very nice! The shop called this morning to tell me my CV Jazz is in, so I'm anxiously waiting for my NBD!
One question - what make of pickguard is that? I want to get rid of the faux tort on the CV ASAP.

I might also like to add that she is a wonderful mother to our 3 sons as well. |

That to me however is a good thing as I tend to rock around the stage quite a bit so it feels like a tough old bird.
Sounds like me, wether that is a good or bad thing I don't know, but it cuts through and sits in the pocket very nicely. |

I think the PG is a Mighty Mite. |

Only?
Those CV's absolutely rock -- and lay waste to [many] basses costing 2 or 3 x as much.
