Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 2)

[Chadfish]

You have to do a white balance on the white pic guard (or anything white in the same lighting) to get more accurate color.

I'm thinking of picking up a CV jazz. I've noticed they're $350 at the online retailers. Is this a good price or is there usually some room to talk them down a few dollars if you buy in person locally? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

350.00 is the going price for Classic Vibe. Try Musician's Friend.

They're $350 at MF, too, unless they just happen to have a used one for sale, which they may or may not have at any particular time..

Thanks guys!

You never have to pay 350$ for one , there is always some kind of coupon going on ,

Heres my CV 50's p

Duncan Quarter Pounds
Mullard .022 cap
Squier Dirnt neck
and refinished in Sweet Pea (almost shell pink)

What do you guys think about a tort guard...or should I stick with white?

[bh2]

White always goes well with pastel colours IMO. Pearl would be a bit classier... threeply, w/b/w.

Nice refin!

[grrg63]

Great job, the white pg is perfect. Put them tug bars on!

[A-Step-Towards]

Very cool respray!

I was wanting a dirnt neck on a 50s CV as well

questions for 50s cv pbass owners: do you feel the need to replace the stock single coil? is this bass the answer for those who can't afford the Sting model?

how does the 50s cv pbass compare to other inexpensive pbass copies, namely the turser 401? I have a 401 & it's goodness but not greatness. I had to drop in a Duncan scpb2 & replaced a brass bridge but still not in love.

With the CV 50s and its original PU I found MY sound at last. It's more modern than the Sting I would say. I leave the PU where it is

Any chance I can be issued a number?

'tis a bit twangy with the stock pickup, until the strings mellow, or you put flats on. I dropped in a Quarter Pounder, and the sound instantly harkened back to my late 80's "modded P" sound.

It's neither sonicly nor ergonomically my cup of tea, the gigs that I got it for have faded into memory, and the Police tribute act that I was putting together died before being born. I suppose that I will sell my mint-condition CV50'sP soon enough. Offers via PM are welcome.

Sorry about the lateness with the numbers

Yetiparty you're #82
fourstringdrums you're #83

If I've missed anyone, send me a PM. Best to PM me for numbers as well. Easier for me to keep track that way.

[Yetiparty]

Thanks

[olalo]
