Squier jazz bass club
- Thread starter 2010Flap
- Start date
Most of us are in with the Fender jazz club, as they are nice enough to have us Squier owners!
My first bass is this Squire series... 1991 ish, I think... bought it in '92. At some point I had painted it blue and silver, don't remember why. I recently tried to strip off all the paint, but only the rattle can paint came off and the original cream didn't budge.. except around the edges. Anyways, I gave it a quick sanding, and liked the aged way it looked, so I put a clear coat on it and left it that way. The controls haven't worked in the last 15 years or so, so I bought this loaded plate of ebay for 10 bucks. Figured if it didn't work either, I was only out the 10. Soldered it in, and blammo.. I have a working Jazz bass. Jazzed it up a little with the ash tray (pardon the pun).
Does anyone have the new VM 70's basses in either red or white. The only pics I have seen are stock shots!
I just picked one up from my local L&M with some Christmas money. My first foray into passive single coils, and I am digging the tone options on this bass. Terrific instrument for a musician on a budget. There's a few imperfections, but overall I am very satisfied with this Squier Jazz.
Slight overspray of black material around the bridge pup
Strings sit a little off center towards the bass side of the neck
Bit of a sloppy cut on the nut for the E string slot

How much does L and M list them for and how long did it take for you to get it? I am amazed that these and many others are not listed on the web site but are available. Like I want one of these and I am also gasing for a Cabronita P Bass.
It was $300 at L&M, and they just had it on hand. I pestered their sales guy and he dug it out of the back. If you don't see it on the shelves, ask a sales rep to look at their inventory, they're usually pretty helpful.
I wonder why that one along with the P 5, Cabronita, and the Fretless P are not showing up on their website, but are in stores!!
Some of the guys in my local Lethbridge store are good, but a lot of them could not be bothered looking up bass gear. Heck I wanted a Modern Player Jazz Satin ordered, he said he did, never did arrive, and that was around 3 months a go, last week I asked one of the guys to check on the status of the order and it was never even made
