Just got my VM Jazz last week, still playing around getting the action right, so far, so good, digging the way it plays, sounds, and looks. Only mods so far (and only ones I will do unless some of the hardware goes south), Straplocks, thumb rest, and proper black Jazz Bass type knobs. That reminds me, if anyone is still looking for authentic loooking black Jazz Bass style push-on knobs that fit the slotted shafts of the VMJ's pots, BassPartsResource.com has 'em for $5.99. They fit perfectly and look good.
Look under Jazz Bass knobs for "Jazz Bass Import Knobs", product code JBK-IMP.

Hey - I never noticed that. I always thought one end was closed and they could only go on one way.
Filed away in my vast mental archives for now. I get terrible neck aches from carrying around this giant brain all day.
Ha! I see what you mean, but we don't have the same bridge covers-mine only fits one way, since the back is closed.
The ashtray type (which is what's on mine) is closed on one end-see-http://www.thomann.de/gr/fender_vintage_jbass_bridge_cover.htm
He used the spit coil P-bass covers instead of the single coil. Not how Fender did it but there's nothing illegal about using the "wrong" covers. Use what you like.
That's not my bass, it's the original Fender Telebass.
Been planning on buying a TB and refin it myself though

They're fun, it's the perfect template for mods IMO. Kind've a tuba as far as sound goes until you change the pickup.
Hey everybody...amm well I ain't got no VM but I am buying one in about a week or two but I just wanted to know...how good are they? does the VM P sounds as good as the Fender std? how about the VM Jazz? are they any better than the CV?
those are some of the best looking basses in my opinion. especially with the olympic white finish/black pg
'07 VM P-Bass
Quarter Pounder Pickups
Gotoh 201 Bridge
Custom Pickguard

Man, I've always wanted to mod one of those VMTBs. I'd probably give it a jazz pickup by the neck and a 2-band preamp...
