Too bad I couldn't access the Facebook link you posted. But it doesn't matter because I'm trying to find a used one in my area and I really want to have a go with the VMV. I'm not sure where it was but I read Fender is releasing a new colorscheme for the VMV. If I remember correctly it was an Olympic white with the maple/blocked neck VMV.

This thread here has it:

Notice also the 5 P's in white, sunburst, and (some kinda) red, all with maple boards.

If you read my other thread about the DP5 you will see that I just couldn't get used to the wide thin neck. The VM is closer to my SR5, and it's extremely comfortable. Well made too for a SUB $300 bass.

I had a DP5 for a while and it played nice but just was too big and bulky for me. Been on the fence for the VM for a bit I wish they had the white one available here.

Here's a nice action shot from Saturday's Beatlefest.

Ok...I have my sights on ANOTHER Squier. This time a new Vintage Modified Jaguar V in black. I can get one for a little over $200 shipped. If this one works out as I hope, I may be putting my SR5 in semi-retirement.

I see. Good to hear you found the better bass for you. And it's a plus that it looks amazing

Thanks! Nothing against the Schecter DP5. It just wasn't comfortable for me. I think I'm smitten with these Squiers though.

Well I've had my VM 5 for a couple months now, and it is a very nice compliment to my #1. Originally I got it merely as a backup if something went wrong with my SR5, but it plays so well that I find myself playing it for entire sets.

Just gigged it again yesterday, and I played it for 2 out of the 3 sets. It's just so comfortable, and really cuts nicely. Here's a vid from yesterday from an Iphone. Really cust through.
