Congrats! Your first bass is much better than mine was (a terrible brand-new 1974 P Bass...)!

Guys, please PM me if you want a number. I'm not sure where we left off.

Is it touching the bridge anywhere? If not, it would almost have to be some kind of interference in your house..lights maybe wiring, because there's no metal to wiring or metal to metal. If it is touching your bridge, might be a ground problem.
Thanks Jhtjon.
If you're having trouble getting hold of one where you are I don't like my chances here in Australia.
I think I'll contact Squier direct & see how I go. Will let you know how it pans out.
I must admit the Fender strings did feel a bit lose to me. I put that down to a lighter gauge though. I didnt have any clank problems though.
Maybe they are a bit brighter than your used to. I think i know what you mean as i found the same thing with Elixirs recently. Just way to bright for me.
That black pickguard is sexy! Mine has the Basslines 1/4-pounder, and the stock pickguard, with a sticker placed over the thumb-rest holes. I am not a fan of bridge covers either but it seems to work really well.
Just a quick update.
Ive now done three gigs with my CVJ. The second two with the new Wizard pups in.
I went for a set of 84's but im finding them a bit too moody. Ive just sent them back for a re wind (or replacement for a set of custom wounds) and they should be back in by the next gig.
The CVJ certainly has balls now, and fills the mix out almost P style, im very impressed with that, but i do think the stock pups had a smoother, maybe more scooped tone that i quite liked. Im hoping the new (new) pups will be a bit of both.

i installed a d-tuner and it feels so smooth compared to the other tuners i think i might have to upgrade them too. i'm loving my CV 60's p even more now. it's a great bass. i'm going to pick up a CV jazz bass soon too.
Ive now got custom wound Wizard pups in my CVJ and it sounds exactly as i had hoped.
Very happy with this bass. I just wished i hadn't had to spend, and loose, so much money over the past few years buying more expensive basses.
Saying that, i will get something better at some point but for now i have no real Bass GAS.
