Squier Classic Vibe Club

Not open for further replies.
Picked up my CV a couple of months back but only this weekend got a chance to put some flats on it and add both a bridge & pick up cover.

Sounds and plays great. Best value for money bass I've ever owned!

Nice one!
How did you manage to get the ''Flat'' chrome pickup cover.
Mine is bend...

Are there any pictures of the Squier Jag bass on? Crap just realized it's a VM-model.
 
A cool CV pic for no particular reason:

What's got you torn?

IMHO these Classic Vibe basses are about as close to a no-lose proposition as a bass can get, especially if you buy used. My CV P is so good that it has totally quenched my GAS for a more expensive P.

The fact that i've mainly wanted a Jazz bass, but i dislike the colour/neck wood options :rollno:
 
Hi guys

Here's my Squier CV which I've attempted to pimp as near as possible to a non-distressed "Pino".

Scratchplate: Fender 62RI (which fits perfectly!!) with full shield
Pickup - Fender 62RI
CTS audio taper pots, switchcraft jack
62RI knobs

(before and after pictures):

I wantED to buy the "pino-p" but I played the sonic blue yesterday , it was an awesome bass , I love the rich , full tones I got , also loved the color....these basses are great stock , Would you mind posting a sound clip ? ;)
 
Haha, thanks! To be quite honest - not much difference at all. Maybe in the "quality" of the tone rolloff. I mean they're not identically the same but they're both nice pickups. A new set of strings would (and did) make a far bigger difference than changing the pickup. But I wanted to treat my CV with posh electronics! :hyper:

But the 62RI scratchplate is definitely worth it to replace the photo of a sicked up kebab... so are the 62 knobs, but you also need to install CTS pots for them to fit the shafts.
