View attachment 3863875 I had been hunting for one of these for quite some time and snagged this Vintage Modified V Precision off of Reverb. This 5 string Indo bass plays like the highest end of my USA Fenders and sounds amazing. I have had similar great luck with two exceptional VM V Jazz Basses which are still relatively easy to find. Please post pics and let me know any info you may have on production numbers or rarity of the P bass version, I have heard this run was shut down early. I can attest it certainly was NOT a quality control issue - this bass is amazing!
Thanks for the confirmation garp! I think I have only seen one other for sale recently and it was a killer looking candy apple red one but they wanted 2100 on eBay OUCH!
I owned one and it was fantastic! Excellent tone and build quality. I ultimately sold it because the neck was simply too wide for my playing comfort. May yours give you many years of playing enjoyment!
Great find. These are indeed hard to come by but for good reasons. There were not made for too long and no one wants to sell them. Join the club and post here. Yours is my favorite finish . Squier Vintage Modified Precision V: who's got one?
I picked up a Squier VM P-5 too from Reverb in 2016. They discontinued it a few years later, and I notice they have become very difficult to find in the marketplace. Mine is burst and I really love the instrument. My number one has been a Warwick Thumb 5 for decades but lately I have been bringing the P along with the Warwick to gigs (remember those?) and end up just using the P all night. It really sits in the mix well.
I know this thread is a few months old but I just read lowdownthump’s post, and that has been my exact situation for a few years. I have a ‘99 Warwick Thumb 5, but the VM P-5 has been getting most of the stage time lately. I just picked up a second one a few weeks ago from a TB member that I will debut Friday at a rare, but outside gig. I have the Burst and the new one is Oly White. Superb instruments. No need to mod, other than strings and usually set up stuff.
