Squier vintage modified club

Yeah some folks do that, fill the slot with something. I've seen people use a piece of nylon tie-wrap cut to size, some use a piece of popsicle stick. I would rather just get the proper type of knob, they're not that hard to find, and they're not that expensive. I did that with my VM Jazz in order to change out the P-bass type chrome dome knobs for proper Jazz types. I was able to find push on versions of those at Bass Parts Resource. I think All-Parts has push-on versions of the flat-top P-bass knobs.

I just got the Authentic Fender - MADE IN USA jazz knobs, and they fit very well on the Jazz, so it might be the same for the Jaguar.

Fender part number:

17669-50904
or
0991370000
..................--- whichever is the Fender number, as one of them is GC's number.

I'll be purchasing a new bass this year. First NBD since 2007.

Been going back and forth trying to decide between so many basses...

Modified SX or Turser JTB-401? CV P in Fiesta Red? VM Jag?

(Obviously my budget is slim, and I plan on spending more for an amp rig and maybe ome pedals.)

Now I believe I am set in my decision: VM P in Amber finish with the maple fingerboard.

Haven't played one in person yet, though I've played several different models of VMs over the past few years. I just think that VM P, especially in Amber w/ the maple neck, is THE BUSINESS!

Likely it will end up my main bass for the forseeable future, if not forever.
 
The VM-Jag is a killer bass - I have one and it's got such a good voice - or whole BUNCHES of voices - and some extremely powerful p'ups that you will spend a lot of time turning DOWN!

The P/J combo can get you into sound zones that other basses can only dream about.

Can't say it's a sure-thing, but I think the VM-Jags are being sold somewhere at $199.00 each --- new.

I paid $100.00 more than that for mine a few months ago - rats!
 
Does the re-reanch nitro on the neck give it a glossy feel or does it just give that nice vintage tint?

I used the Amber tinted nitro for the neck..It gives it that vintage look and feel...It's a gloss finish,but the feel and look is more like the original older laquer neck Fenders...It's not a thick heavy feel...reranch stuff is awesome...the body is vintage cream nitro...
 
Number me! No pics, but I can describe:

-2007 VM Jazz
-Badass II bridge
-Red Tortoise shell pickguard
-Always strung with Roto 66's
-Lego tires on the two pickup volume knobs (originally there to help me remember which ones are which :D)
 
That's basically a squier version of the Geddy Lee sunburst jazz (just minus the badass II)

Minus the shaped neck.
Minus the BadAss II bridge.
Minus the high quality pots and proper knobs.
Minus the Alder body.
Minus the '62 Re-Issue pickups.
Minus the really nice tuners.

Oh, yeah... The TSB Geddy has a black/white/black 3-ply pickguard

So, that's basically *nothing* like a Geddy aside from the color and neck binding/inlays...


PS, No numbers in this club; Just join it :bassist:
 
according the squire site, this is the 2011 version of the VM jazz -
