I thoroughly enjoy the Duncan Designed pup, though after replacing the pickguard my tone knobs is scratchy. Do you think I just pulled a connection loose? Simple resolder job?
And I really like the looks of yours.. The black pickguard is pretty killer.

Agathis, Poplar and basswood are fine body woods. Alder has a "name", but I have a MIJ Squire that's Basswood and a MIM Fender that's poplar, and I prefer them to any of the Affinity's I've played.
I've personally never been impressed with Affinity Squire's. I had one, and it was around just long enough for me to sell it. I feel that the hardware, tone and build quality is less than the standard and significantly less than the VM and VJ series. Of course YMMV...
The Duncan Designed pickup is very good, although I think it could bite a bit more, and that's what I look for in a Precision
I think you could replace the pots anyway with CTS pots, then your problem is solved

ty...I think i'm gonna order a white pearl pickguard for it also for a little variety. I just ordered a blue shell pickguard from Warmoth for my CV 60's P so I wanna see what that looks like before I order it.
I need to take some pics, but I'm in with a Squire VM Jazz. Stock so far except for Black Beauty strings. I'm sitting on the fence as to whether or not to get some better pickups. BUT, after I raised the stock ones up it sounds great! I went to buy my first bass with 2K in pocket and looked around a lot. Came home with the Squire!
I'd love to pick up one of the VM jazzes but so far every one I've seen is close to 10 lbs. Anybody got a light weight one?
Pick up a natural finished, Ash SX jazz at the same time. The VM will seem light.....
Mine (VM) is not too bad, but it kind of goes with the territory with a maple body....

Oh I know, I've had a few SX jazzes and they aren't light. I just wondered if there was such an animal as a VM Jazz that was under 9 lbs.

I think the sun makes it looks really cool
That's a nice photo. Dawn and dusk are great times to photograph.
If anyone is disliking their 70s Jazz, or Fretless Jazz, shoot me a PM. I have something up for trade, and I'm really wanting another Squier.
Can I get in on this party please?? Seriously getting my Deluxe Active Jazz was the best thing to happen to me in a while....the music just flows from the fingers now instead of feeling "forced"
Love this beast
