Squier Owners Club

[Moving Pictures]

I also have this one laying around but i'm not 100% certain if it counts. The decal reads Fender in large then Squier series in small print. Anybody know what's up with this...?

That would make it an early eighties Squier. There were runs made in Japan and the US as well featuring that logo.

I just joined yesterday!
I purchased a P Bass Special Edition...I already pulled the mirrored pickguard off and replaced it with a black one...much better. I ordered a Badass II bridge and black knobs, as soon as those arrive I'll post the pic.

 

[redstrand]

Mine is the black version with the black headstock. I guess I'm #44.

Thanks christle, I've always wondered about that.

There are three books that are really helpful with this type of information: The Fender Bass by Klaus Blasquiz; The Fender Bass: An Illustrated History by Black and Molinaro; How the Fender Bass Changed the World by Jim Roberts. The first two are published by Hal Leonard and the latter by Bass Player. You can probably get them at Bassbooks.com (great service there BTW).

Where do you all find replacemenmt pickguards for Squire's? I end up using run of the mill Fender replacements and have to drill extra holes in my basses.

Can your local Squier / Fender dealer get one for you?

I had'nt thought of that, I'll check into it.
Thanks

here's mine! it's a very rare made in korea squier hm! mine is actually black, but that's the only pic I've found on the internet

That's one NICE looking bass....If they sold it here in Norway I think I would have bought one....But they don't

Buy one from Invalid Link Removed -- they will delivery to Norway. I just got a killer deal on a Vintage Modified (fretted) Jazz. The woobrass prices on Squier are the best I've seen.

That's actually a weird one. The original Squiers with the Fender logo were dicontinued very early, then they changed to the usual Squier logo. What throws me is the "made in Mexico". All Squier's with the large Fender logo were made in Japan, not Mexico, as far as I know. Check out the Squier JV pages here: Link Removed

This one's been around this forum in a few incarnations, but I have her now and I really love it. Especially for the $$. Plays nice, sounds great, no problems. Everything has been upgraded.

I just checked up the serial number with this website ( Invalid Link Removed )and it dates it as being made in 1994-1995.

I'm not the original owner but I actually know the guy who bought it for the original owner and he told me that he got it in 1995 from a music store in Toronto, Ontario.

So does that make it a fender or a squier? the bass plays great and I couldn't care less what it is, I've just been wondering about it.

As of tomorrow evening, add me to the club. I bought a Deluxe Active 5 string Jazz (the pic of the all white bass seen several times in this thread). I'll post pics tomorrow night.

Yup, add me too, I got the VM arriving tomorrow.

DW -- how do you like the Active 5? I was inches away from buying one.

No idea, Steve, that's a real confusing bass you have there! Obviously if you enjoy it, that's all that matters, but I have never seen one like this with a Fender logo apart from those 1982 Squier JV's.

 

[DWBass]

I have not received mine yet. It's due tomorrow. I bought it sight unseen or played. Taking a chance I get a decent instrument for which I'm ready to upgrade it if need be. I'm praying I don't get a dud like I did when I purchased a Peavey Cirrus BXP!

 

[Dee_01]

Yep, my fingers are also crossed for the VM coming tomorrow. Good luck to you!
