It might as well be the motto of TalkBass: Play what you like; don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

First one in, as it should be.

Hi let's keep the party going.

[diegobxr]

Subscribed, I'll see if I can post some pics of my CV 60's P tomorrow.

[BassAgent]

So I have this, original except for the covers:


And I use it live.

[Mr.Fingers]

... and it is a damn good bass (quartersawn maple for the neck? On an Asian-made instrument? That comes staight out of the factory? For 400-ish €? Check!)

[Lambic]

Mine:

A bit dark... one of these days I'll take a new pic...

[96tbird]

Mine with the gang and one just for fun.

I still need to get around owning the bridge cover (The PU cover would get in the way of where I play).
Also, a friend of mine has the same mixer that's in the background of the 2nd photo.

PS: Sub'd

What bridge cover are you guys using on the CV 50's P? I thought I heard the Fender '51 P style ones won't fit.
I have the pickup cover - for me it makes a better thumb rest than the pickup.

Pic with my VM 70's Jazz, before I installed the pup cover on the CV.

[BassAgent]

I think mine has a regular '51 cover on it, and it fits (with a tiny bit of force) perfectly

[tbirdsp]

Thanks, maybe I was thinking of someone who had a different bridge.

Still likin those pic's bassagent, thats a reminder for me to source some PU covers for my CV50's. You got any foam on under there or just for visual appeal?

[BassAgent]

Thanks! I keep 'em there just for visual purposes. I use the pickup cover to rest my thumb on, though. I took off the bridge cover yesterday because I want to be able to play palm muted on this bass.

[PB+J]

I just picked up one of these for just over $200. Pine body, vintage yellow finish. It had some dings on the back.

It had everything I like--extremely light but balances well, small frets, great single coil p sound. I took it home and did a little work to the nut, and added some lightweight tuners I had in a drawer. Took the gloss off the neck, removed the pick guard and the tug bar.

A really great bass with a distinctive sound

Hahaha I usually do that It's my precious from 1966 and I'm extremely careful with it It stood steadily like this for the pic only.

Hi

Is Matt Freeman Sig accepted here?
Anyway here we are:




Sweet bass it is!!!

[precijazz]

Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision with Chromes -- priceless.
See (or better: hear) the second half of my little YouTube demo for my Tecamp rig. First half doesn't sound too shabby, either (the tone, not my playing), but that's a different club.

Just scored a CV 60s Jazz and i´m surprised how good this "cheapo" is, BUT what are my options to optimize the sound a few percent. How did YOU modify your CV jazz? Pickup replacement? BadAssII bridge? Nut made of bone? What else?

Thanks for inspiration
