So does that technically mean that you're temporarily in the ether?
My 60's P has become the backup bass to my Sadowsky, I love it that much.My CV 50's P maybe gone tomorrowi am selling it to fund a active bass purchase , the guy who is buying it is a family friend and asked if i had a good bass for his 12 year old son i think my CV will be an excellent start for him.
At least it's getting another kid into playing bass.

Yes for now i own no Classic Vibe but i will soon so i wish to retain my number. I have had the 50's P , 60's J and i am dying to make a 60's P my #1!
yeah i did not lose any money and i let the kid play 2 of my basses both priced the same and he wanted the CV so i sold it to him. He is 12 and allready played double bass and can read music , he will be a pretty good player I told him of TB to

Wow... i wish i knew the joys of bass at age 12. I was playing piano then tho... so that actually ended up helping for playing bass, so not completely worthless
Squier CV60 itself has awful tone and sound. You must lot it.
But just wanted to change look.
This concept's for Vintage and Relic.(replica for Fender 62RI)
* BODY ONLY
* DECAL JOB'S SO CLUMSY BUT STILL SATIFIED MYSELF.
* YES UNIQUE ONLY ON 62
* ANOTHER ON 62
* EXTRA ONLY FOR LOOK
* AFTER FINISH
* WITH MARCUS SIG OF Friend
* WITH MY BBNE2 W. YAMAHA BLACK HARDWARE
If you play Squier CS60 and Fender 62 RI (or CS 64 jazz), you can't feel like changing the pickup. It's really gorgeous.

Oh i know and a CV for a first bass is killer who gets an axe that nice for a first
Actually, my CV 60s Precision is my first axe. At the age of 12 I was playing tuba and by the age of 16 tuba and double bass (tuba: good. double bass: poorly).
As a side question: would changing out the tuners to Fender vintage or reverse tuners hold tune better or longer than the stock tuners? Not that the stock tuners are much of a problem.
Yeah, my first bass was a Yamaha 170RBX. For a starter bass it's great, but it would have been sweet to have a CV. I plan on putting some sweet upgrades into the Yamaha however. Maybe one of these days i'll get a CV, but i've got two basses right now that I need to get some good playing time into and get some mods put on.
The idea that cheaper tuners slip and go out of tune is one of the common misconceptions on TB. Unless you have a defective tuner it is NOT going to slip and go out of tune. If you have properly strung the bass, and properly seated the strings, your CV should stay in tune as well as any other bass. Cheaper tuners generally have a coarser tuning ration and are often stiffer to turn; this can sometimes cause a skippy feel when tuning and make it harder to get the bass precisely in tune. However, the CV tuners are perfectly fine, but I'm sure Schaller, Grover, Hipshot, etc would be happy to take your money. A lot of people, I think, just look for excuses to mod their instrument.
well i got a new squier , but its not a CV its the pete wentz model
not a fan but for 130$ i couldnt say no.
not a fan but for 130$ i couldnt say no.If it didn't have that stupid heart/bat/whatever the heck thing on the body I might be tempted. Does it even have his name on it? If it does i'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to get rid of or hide.
Well i got it cheap because it has a HUGE chip on the back , it played awesome though and is brand new . I am returning a defective ATK i bought i needed a bass since my band plays everyday.
Yes it has his name
haha on th eback of the headstock , the bat on the 12th fret and the bat on the body. I may trade the neck for a rosewood P bass neck from a VM. Then maybe put a sticker over the bat or strip it down. Eithier way its worth 130$ to me just as a solid/dorky back up.
i am think of dropping some new pickups in my CV jazz , there not bad but i am just looking for a change , anyone changed theres out ?
btw there are alot of CV's poppin up on the bay cheap , heres one

I put Fender '75 Reissue pups in mine and it made a HUGE difference. Sounds as good as any jazz out there now.
Hmm i never even though to put fender pickups in it i was looking up every other brand to , i did have custom shop jazz bass pick ups in a fender i had and realloy enjoyed them , i am going to look into those 75's

It really widened out the sound. The original pickups are okay, but these really gave the tone a full rainbow of flavor.
