Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 3)

[dunic]

I've had the olympic white VM P for years and loved it but the high-gloss neck on the CV makes it preferable for me.

Seems like the cv's use better hardware.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I'm leaning toward the CV.

Hey y'all-
I was just wondering if I could join the club - my main gigging bass is a CV 60s Jazz.

And I love it...

Pics or didn't happen

 

[TinyE]

Finally took pics. Future mods: new PG, quarter pounds. My tuners also seem to not be holding great. Will replace those soon.

Hmm can't upload pics from tb app

OK here's the Classic Vibe in Sonic

And the Squier Pile

The usual suspects...

 

[EagleMoon]

Looks great! Looks like mine used to look when I first got it.

 

[Sparky6string]

Yeah it's got a very tight tone- toight like a toiger! It keeps me playing it for it's tone and playability. Well balanced too. The neck is similarly shaped to my MIJ Fernandes P.

Pic as requested - my CV 60s Jazz, my main gigging bass, my baby. May drop some "nicer" pu's in her eventually, but no rush!

Hey guys! I've got a 50's CV P-bass in Lake Placid Blue, and with flats the tone is outstanding! Totally jealous of the owners of the Sonic Blue 60's CV p-basses, but my 50's is still pretty rockin'.

As per internet law:

Can I have a number?

 

[onefallinghope]

Installed a new pickup in my CV 50's P.

I agree - off with the pickup logo!

I have the SCPB-3 in my 50's CV as well, but it says "Bass Lines" - I wonder when they changed the logo?

( I just hid the entire thing under a pickup cover)

...now you got me thinking about the logo on my Delano's

You're kidding right? Your bass is awesome! Those of us that have the Sonic Blue want what you have- we're in the same boat! Enjoy that fat necked beauty!

Would love to hear how it sounds compared to the stock PU? How is it for mids?

Tons of mids!!

Also just put fresh strings on it, Ernie Ball Cobalts 50-105 set. It sounds... kind of like a buzzsaw.

It def. has more mids, but I'm not sure if I like it yet, haven't gotten used to it yet. It def. doesn't sound like a nice mellow "P" any more; thats for sure.

Happy to provide sound clips; not sure what the preferred way to record them would be though? Suggestions?

Garage Band? Audacity?

To each his/her own. For a blue colored bass I prefer my sonic blue CV60 (but blue isn't my favorite color). Overall I like butterscotch & black of my 51ri or arctic white & tort of my MIM P a little better. YMMV

Miked cab would be best.

I have a love hate relationship with my SCPB-3

It is "def" not mellow. Almost too powerful. I plug it into the -6dB pad

Currently I've got dadd XL balanced set with the pup 5mm below the bottom of the strings when fretted at 12 (!)

Currently in love again - and the balanced set is a darned fine set.

 

[efe_gallagher]

Let's hear it! It's beautiful!

Wow! That really sounds great. I might have to do that too.

Sick.

That's killer. I'd love to hear that one.

Sorry it took me so long, but we finally finished releasing our [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]!
The pickup selection was like this:

• Huracan - Quarter Pound SCPB
• Que Hacer - Will Power
• Mitad - Both
• Moderno - Both

As you can tell I use distortion and fuzz rather a lot, but I blended some clean signal in there, I'm sure you'll be able to hear it
