Hi All Does anyone know if the V9 is 60's or 70's pick up spacing?

Hi Ursus. Both of my basses are Indonesian and pickguards swapped easy enough. There were minor differences but managed to swap them over without filing or cutting.

My son suggested swapping the pick guards on my V7 and V7 Vintage. Very happy with the results :)

My two :)

I thought I would post my thoughts about my recent addition. I already have a White Blonde V7 and purchased a Bright Metallic Red Vintage V7 just after Xmas. Both guitars are 4 string and Indonesian made Weight and Balance The first difference is in weight and balance. The new VV7 is Alder as...

BMR V7 Vintage delivered yesterday. Nice !

Well my order of a Black Vintage V7 was scuppered due to a lack of stock @ Thomann so have opted instead for the Metallic Red :) These basses are obviously very popular in Europe!

I own a white blond 4 string V7 and absolutely love it. So today I have just ordered a Black Alder maple VV7. Looking forward to hearing the differences between the two. :bassist:

V7 sounds Great through a Trace Elliot rig :)

Despite a minor fret board issue I really love this bass. Might think of changing the pickguard to tort.

Yep. No gigbag via Thomann. You can buy it separately from them.

You are right it is a $400 bass. As I said above it doesnt effect how it plays. Will wait to see what Thomann have to say..

I have put a call in to Thomann (their UK distributor) so will update status after that. To be fair it doesn't effect how it plays but I know its there..
