Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 3)

[Yahboy]

Here is my 2010 Squier Classic Vibe Precision Bass 60s RW Fiesta Red, China Made. I completely equipped the bass with original Fender hardware, 8,15 lbs. Not a custom shop but customized with Fender USA OEM stuff.
Original ˋ62 tortoise pickguard, original Custom Shop ˋ62 PU, Tonepots and wire, reverse tuner and vintage Bridge. Varnish removed from neck and oiled. Signed by Pino on March 13th, 2011...Beautiful condition, nice sounding, More balanced Bass.View attachment 4947490View attachment 4947491View attachment 4947492View attachment 4947493View attachment 4947494View attachment 4947495

Wow, wow and ....wow !!!!
Dare me to say this is the coolest poor man pino P modifications among to us who own same model on this club.

I do believe the bridge not 63 one, this 58 vintage bridge saddle provide more precise on string spacing adjustment too.
8.15lbs weight after vintage machines head install are totally insane!

Hmmmm..... Where is the Ti jf344 ???

Guys, what are the differences between CV 60 x 70?
I mean tone, neck, playability, parts...
Some big changes?

Primary differences are body & fretboard woods.

According to Tyler Spicer in his video. CV60 uses poplar and laurel. CV70 uses natoyh & maple. He seems to feel that the 60 provides the traditional P tone while the 70 is perhaps more "modern" in tone. Watching this video he had, I'd agree. 70 definitely has the better slap tone.

Update on my mix part MF P bass.

I did a big mistake when I refine the nut slot on it. My clearance target are 0.09mm on each first fret ( factory nut clearance around .18mm +/- ) while pressed the third fret.
But I don't know why I use 0.07mm feeler gauge until I realise once nut slot cut done

Luckily there are no "back fret buzz" while fret pressed from second fret till 7th fret on each string.

This also prove that factory fret work on this CIC MF P neck are great.

Now the bass play better comfort than before especially on fretting hand with Labella LTF4A.

Nice late 50P.

Thank you. I'm loving it! Currently trying to figure out where I want to install the thumb rest (if at all). Just have it screwed into one of the pickguard holes currently. I'll probably go with the '70s position.

Just installed the covers. I realized I had been playing either in front of or behind the pickup so decided to go ahead and make that leap. Really digging it.

60s thumb rest position are nice for vintage illustration or if you play like early day 50s bassist.

In early day, i prefer thumb rest with 70s position on my 2012 CIC CV60P and using pickup as thumb rest on 2010 MIK Ibanez SR705. Once i learn play flooding finger style with Ti flat, i never need any thumb rest or rest my thumb on pickup anymore. My entire thumb only work to mute the those B,E and A string when pluck on D and G string.

My wife signed our son up for voice lessons and this past Wednesday was his first one. They're at a local music shop I have known about for a long time but knew them to be pretty much the place where all the kids rent their wind and string instruments from for school band, as well as lessons. I had been in there years ago and they had a few guitars and basses on the wall, Fenders, Squiers, and Yamahas mostly.

I bring Moses in for his voice lesson and what is hanging on the wall? This Inca Silver CIC Classic Vibe Jazz. Plastic still on the pickguard and control plate. $329.99. I ask the kid working there if it's been on the wall a long time and he's like, "yeah it's been there quite a while, I think people just aren't really into the color." I take it down to check it out and it desperately needs a set up, but it is brand new. The bridge has the corrosion these bridges seem inclined to and the fretboard is super thirsty, but here it is!! I have had two of these in the past, one being the James Johnston sig, and I regret moving on from them. Hopefully I've learned my lesson and this one will be around for the long haul!

What a find! Inca Silver is a great color plus that matching headstock

Eight years of corrosion and drying out and everything still works? SCORE!! Just out of curiosity, what did you use to rejuvenate the fretboard? Whatever it was, that is one handsome piece of rosewood, what with that grain and warm, reddish tint!

Haha! Selling the JJ is a huge regret.

I actually hadn't conditioned the fretboard prior to these pics! Here it is after drinking in some mineral oil. Not sure how much of a difference it made looks wise.

 

[GRoast]

That’s a sweet bass, good score.
