I'm looking at a Marcus 4, built in '85 or '86. Were these good years as far as craftsmanship, or are the CIJ or the newer MIM better? Any quality problems with the early models? Differences in neck profile, pre, ect.

Just wondering. I've seen pics of the Marcus, some with the MIJ, and some with CIJ, and a few with neither on the heel of the neck. Does anybody know why some would have nothing written on them?

Just got it. Read thru manual, and adjusted the expression pedal to kick up the volume. When I unplug my Bass and go straight thru, Bass to amp, my usual LOUD volume. I've adjusted every volume ( effect, pedal, ect) and even re-iniatialized the unit, but I'm just getting NO volume with this...

March 2012 I purchased a 'refurbished' Squire VM Jazz Bass. Nice bass, but as the humid season came on, I noticed I'd have to tweak the neck a couple of times a week...and as time went on, noticed the neck had a nasty hump @ the 17th-19th fret...used lighter strings, babied it till in November...

1 amp, multiple Basses. Are you able to plug any of your Basses and get your sound? I find thru my Carvin BX500/Avatar 2-10 cab, my StingRay ALWAYS sounds right, with not a lot of EQing, BUT, I really have to tweak this and low/high mid that to get a decent sound from my Fender's. Does anyone...

I have a SX SJB-75, and I'm looking to upgrade pickups (Duncan Design Jazz bass from a VM Squire). I dig that Marcus tone, and I dig the tone of the Carvin SB Basses. BUT, which of these 2, the J99's or Seymour Duncan Basslines Jazz Bass Classic Stack Pickups are the best way to go?

Looking to upgrade to an SX 75 ash body. Will that VM neck fit, and more importantly, will the screws holes line-up??

I know there are a lot of player's here that are very happy with the Squier Vintage Modified and VM 70's models. But does anyone here have the FSR models that were last sold thru M.F.?

Been playing my '77 StringRay Bass since '83. Got a Squire Jazz, and have been noticing that, ONLY when Thumpin', that the "E" string rings out, and more prominent than when I thump on my Stingray. Is this inherent with Jazz Basses? I don't want to use scrunchies because you lose the sustain. I...

I'm set to install an Audere preamp into my Squire Modified Jazz Bass, BUT, there are 3 wires coming from the pickups. I see the bridge ground, and the HOT and COMMON wires from the pickups, they are cloth. The thinner black wires coming from both pickups are both soldered on the NECK pot. Are...

Can anyone give me some info/history about these Basses? What does the "Maya" brand mean? What's a avg.price for these Basses? Anyone own one or have pics?

Pros, cons...with a system like Audere, J-Retro, ect. Do you prefer to have control over BOTH pickups, or does the pickup blend work just as well? Do you lose anything by going with the Blend? :confused: Looking to add a drop in preamp, the Audere system in my Jazz Bass.

Noticed a Squire '77 modified Jazz Bass at a Guitar Center had the neck binding cracking in a couple of different spots along side the neck. I know, got to consider the store, BUT, has anyone who takes care of their basses have this problem?
