NBD - Squier VM Jazz Bass

Mine was $300 new. I A/B'd it vs a Geddy Lee Jazz. Almost identical sound & feel.

I love the block inlays, of course. I also spent $10 for the knobs off a GL.

I used to string mine with DR hi-beams, recently I put a set of GHS brite flats on it, and they sound like 20-year-old rounds. Awesome rumbly sound.

I have had mine since 2009, and it has seen more shows than I can remember. It is rock solid, always sounds great. Never even needed to set it up. It just played great right away, so I left it like that.

Bought it from Guitar Emporium in Louisville, KY.
