I will try and keep this brief and let the pics tell the story...I JUST recently acquired this bass after adopting another '83 Squier SQ Pre (one of which is going off for a refinishing)...I LOVE all of them...the neck on this bass (and the SQ's for that matter) is perfect to me...just beautiful!! This one sounds fantastic and is ready to go to a loving home and get played lots!
Here is the deal, the JV is a higher quality instrument with period correct and most likely US parts...reverse vintage style tuners, threaded vintage style bridge...in comparison to the SQ.
In my deciding factors of which one to keep of three '83 Squier's, I went out and picked up a digital fish scale to weigh my basses to find the lightest one...I actually figured this one and my newest SQ would be the lightest but kind of surprisingly to me this one is closer the 9lbs and the one SQ was around 8lbs so my back likes it better lol
*Just to be completely transparent...the digital fish scale was showing readings of 8.99lbs up to 9.12lbs with the bulk of the "readings" being at 9.08 and 9.10*
Anyway, as to not tempt myself to keep this, I thought I better put it away in the case and get it posted to the informed TB'ers that know the value of these Squier JV Precisions and how great they are...looking for a bargain priced '62 reissue pre...take a long look at the pics to follow because these basses are really really good!!
Pretty firm on price due to shipping costs that will be incurred but willing to negotiate somewhat to Canadian buyers....$666 US Funds via PayPal shipped anywhere in the USA or Canada
Gator lightweight case/rectangle gig bag thingy in great shape is included along with a couple of unidentified sets of strings...one of which were flatwounds...the bass is wearing rounds currently...***NOW ALSO INCLUDED an additional Genuine Fender '63 Reissue Tortoise shell pickguard*** (see pics near the bottom of this thread)
Oh...here is the blurb I found online about determining the dates via the Serial Numbers:
"JV5xxxx............................May to June 1983"
