Anodized gold guard on Surf Green- whatcha think?
Much to my surprise, it works! The only thing is, if it were my bass, that guard would compel me to give it a gold bridge and tuners to visually play off of.
agreed, or maybe black to play off the inlays/pickups
Just a reminder if how good these original run CV60’s PBass sound. 
Nice playing he does here.

Wow I'm surprised how well that works. I think the heavily tinted
neck helps it work. Good call!
Look great !!! I suggest a cream pickup cover just make it greater !!!
Let’s try this again…
Hope it’s not another lemon like the last one!

OK, what's up with Squier's hex key for the trussrod(s)? My CV 50s P takes a 4mm and I'm not even sure what size the one that fits my CV 70S P is... but it's a larger hex key than the one that fits my 50s P.
Unless you bought the bass new it could be a couple different sizes meaning people chang 'em when they get buggered up... When I replace them I stopped sweating what size the hex/allen key was as long as the size/thread pitch was correct.
I believe on most Affinity, Vintage Modified, Classic Vibe 50's-60's-70's and VM's they are going to be 4mm, some are 5mm, my CIC CV's are 5mm anyway I have a bunch of basses so I have a box of wrenchs, but I have 3 readily available 4mm, 5mm and 3/16" (Fender). Try a 5mm on the 70's.
CV1 (Made in China) trussrod nuts are Allen key 5mm. Use a STEAL allen key and not a crappy chrome one.
CV2 (Made in Indonesia) trussrod nuts are Allen key 4mm. Use whatever you want cause these necks are terrible anyway.

The aluminum guard + Hipshot bridge balance this thing out PERFECTLY— doesn’t feel like a toy anymore. Satisfied!!

Also this guy... (TB member)
Followed closely by this one.
TI flats just sing on these basses. A perfect match.
