Very nice. Matters of personal preference are the small fret wire size and the glossiness of back of the neck.
I took out the gloss with some scotchbrite and I prefer small frets so it works well for me.
Great Cliff, I suppose you have a shite standard bent plate bridge on that POS too!
This thing about the CV cover touching the "HM" bridge and increasing hum. Couldn't you put some electrical tape inside the cover where it touches and fix that: no contact, no conductivity. Unless it is caused by induction??? Hmm...
On my 50's CV it's installed without it touching the bridgee. The price for that: the bridge and the coloured string ends stick out, but I don't care to much about that: when playing, I hold the instrument in ca. 45 degrees, meaning that that end points to the floor, more or less.
IT FINALLY ARRIVED!!!! 
I'm re-charging some batteries for all the bass porn I'll take tomorrow 1st thing in the morning. After playing with it for around 3 hours since I arrived home from Laredo I definitely understand why a lot of you wouldn't change the pickup: It's amazingly good!!
I also love how the neck feels just a tiny bit less chunky than the LPB option (At least to me
) and the tiny, vintage frets feel amazing!
Oh my God, I'll be loving this baby so much in the next days...

Oh, it's ON!!No pics, no bass.
Talkbass, meet my new bass: Christine
"Miss Christine Squier, please"
Here she is between her two siblings: Palmer (Left) and Sarah (Right)
And the ugly, nasty cousins
Her neck pocket is really nice too!
My only complaint? I got no striped neck
Can I get a numbah (after three years of coveting), please?
I LOVE the CV jazz neck. I've thought about buying a few just for the neck alone. Really feels worn in and is actually thinner than my Geddy jazz's neck. But I hear that they can vary. Some are a bit thinner than others.

That looks great with the pearloid guard and the bridge cover!
Is this the newer, pine body model?Oh, it's ON!!

No stripes on the neck, but a beautiful grain on the body. My body isn't as nice, but I've got a real tiger of a neck. Another one I tried was like yours. Looks like they match them up like that?
Anyway, congrats, Christine is hawt!
AFAIK all the butterscotch girls are pine and the bluebirds are basswood.

Yep, red + black pickguard = Ferrari look. That's what I did with my vine-red MIA Highway One Precision recently, too.
Very nice Precision, efe!

Indeed! I thought it was only 2 pieces, but after I inspected it a lot turns out it is actually 3 pieces. It's rather hard to figure out looking a her by the front. They really did a great match on her body
That's correct! I've been thinking about adding a laminated top to make her less prone to dents, but that's a long way from happening if ever.Is this the newer, pine body model?

How does it sound unplugged? I think it looks great!
Both are definitely on the softer side but I believe pine is the softer of the 2
