Don’t see many Fender Vs under 9lbs! How’s it balance? Any neck dive?

Just started restoring a mid 1980s medium scale Squire Japan Precision. Bought it on eBay for a summer project. I’m leaning towards having it refinished, but first I’d like to bring the original finish back to life as much as possible. The previous owner spray painted the bass black and red...

Finally getting my SKB tuned up, en route to Keith arriving Monday! Bought new in 2009, has a Bartolini NTMB. Back then a popular mod was the Demeter, any current day ideas for alternative preamps? I honestly don’t use the mid control at all, just an occasional slight bass/treble boost/cut. I...

Looks and plays like a winner! Photos are from an old Reverb listing I found. When I acquired the bass it had a pickup cover in addition to the bridge cover. I don’t think either are original though, seem too shiny to be 50+ years old. I bought it kinda impulsively from Guitar Center website...

Neck stamp definitely starts with 01, though it does kinda look like a 2 in my photos. and it does have the wavy pocket edge! The neck doesn’t quite line up with the body on the right side, even though it’s a tight pocket. Thank you for taking the time to respond, I’ve read a bunch of your...

Calling all late 60s early 70s Fender historians! I recently acquired a Fender Precision refinished in sea foam green, took it apart to determine what’s original and modded. Pics posted below for TB experts to weigh in. The neck appears to have the black ink 8-digit style code supposedly...

Full scale 34” or medium 32”?

2009 Keith Roscoe SKB3005 5-string bass guitar in Tobacco Sunburst. 35” scale, 24-fret fingerboard. I’m the original owner, bought it new from Gelb Music Redwood City, CA. Swamp ash body, Myrtle Burl top. Maple neck and fingerboard, beautiful Purpleheart center lamination and Maple & Cherry...

Is there a capo that holds the strings in place on the sides? Not just clamping from the top, but securing the string left and right. I’ve been playing my 35” scale 5-string tuned down a whole step ADGCF. Loving the feel of playing with a capo on the second fret, essentially a 33” scale bass...
