Matt Freeman Signature Bass!

[rysker6]

I played QP back in the 90's. They were good, but I think I like the dimarzio better. I said they have a punk sound, but I actually use this bass at church just as much playing modern christian music. I really like them. I had 2 set up with them but I changed one to Aguilar Ag 4p60 just to have a different sound, but that bass now has flat wounds as well. I did have the MF with the dimarzio's and flat wounds for a bit too, but really liked the dimarizo with SS strings or NW strings.

Thanks for the input! I mostly play punk and some metal. I saw some shootout videos between the two pickups and liked the dimarzios more, think I’ll go with those!

Happy to see an very active thread about this Squier model. Have anyone ever played on a Squier Precision Classic Vibe 70? If so what's the difference between the MF? Do you know if the neck is thicker or thinner?

Sweet!

What strings you got on there? I recently put GHS Pressurewounds (med light) on mine and it sings.

I have tried the cv 70s once like a couple years ago so my memory may be off. But I recall it being a little less chunky front to back than the MF neck.

Thanks a ton! I recently started a love affair with D'Addario Strings and I love their green pack nickel round wounds. They sound new for a long long time which I like.

I have GHS flats on my 70's CV P and they sound delicious!

I've never played flats, or GHS, and I've always been curious about both. But that's a good lookin bass!

Highly recommend giving it a try! Very different from the "new string sound". Perhaps not for everyone, but you wont know until you try

When I traded mine in at Sam Ash I told them to put a price tag of at least 400 on it. They were stupid and put it up for 329.00. It lasted a day. Now used in are going for 700 on EBAY.

I’m not trying to throw stones , but why did you trade it in and not sell it yourself for $400?

Yes I should have.

Are these still desirable?

I have one sitting around in near new condition. I am the original owner. Plays nearly as nice as the Ricky 4003 I sold a couple of years ago, but I moved over to guitar.

Yes they are. Put it up for at least $500 on that condition. It should move quickly .

Thanks guys, I'll look into it shortly.

would anyone want to share a picture of how they have their pickup height adjusted? Also what strings are you finding work best with the stock pickup considering I'm looking for a modern rock tone like Ben Shepherd (soundgarden) or Nate Mendel (foo fighters). I don't have much experience with P basses, but obviously they are tried and true in the rock world.
