alright, mine should be done very soon. havent had time to finish the paint job.
everything else is ready to go.
i need to maintain my spot on this list, so i trust you wont be disappointed when i unveil mine.

 

[redlikejazz]

Blue and maple ftw. What did that neck set you back?

$40 on ebay. Unknown origin lol. It looks like a lawsuit era japanese p bass neck, but it's not fender. The nut is wrong and it's got a 2 piece headstock. Sorry for the delayed response!

 

[redlikejazz]

This is the coolest bass I have ever seen.

+1

So smooth

 

[Gord_oh]

i dont recall seeing a squier vm tele bass here yet?
im kinda gassing one...maybe ill have to add it to the club.

[Gord_oh]

thanks for jogging my memory. after i posted that i recalled seeing one, but i wasnt sure.

i still want one.

 

[Gord_oh]

my squier ii was put on hold for awhile, still in the process of painting.
right now looking at either a squier 5 string or a vm tele bass.
only GAS will decide...


oh yeah...bump.
im sure there is some out there we are missing.

 

[tabdog]

Here's one,

another,

It's got a MIM neck,

Here's my Affinity with a 22 fret Pilot neck
and bridge. It's thinner than a Jazz neck,

Looks great! I likee the maple with blocks, I'd have to loose those strat knobs though, can't abide em!

As far as the VM Tele goes... I've got to get one, a friend of mine has a blond tele bass just like the last piccy. It plays and sounds a dream!

 

[Gord_oh]

still looking into the vm tele, i really want one.
plus squier has a vm jazz 5 string...i highly considering one.

I love that neck. I wish I had it on my Jag.

You guys are KILLING me! I love hot rodded Squiers. I have played some that rival MIAs in playability and finish. The name on the headstock doesn't mean a thing when you're sweating, eyes closed, music moving through you like an LSD trip. I will say this though, I've started removing the headstock logos and replacing them with F***** logos, just for laughs.

And a tip for the modders! If you want to darken your rosewood fretboard, go over to Stu-Mac.com and buy a bottle of [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] If you're looking for that dark, almost ebony look (light rosewood is a dealbreaker for me), this stuff is unbeatable! Clean your board with some naptha and a toothbrush, because this dye won't penetrate through sweat/grime, and you'll have a blotchy looking board. Mask off your fretboard with GOOD tape, cuz this stuff will bleed through dollar store masking tape! Apply sparingly, and then wipe off carefully with a clean, dry cloth.

Here's a shot of my old MIK Squier. Unfortunately, no longer in my possession This is after the fretboard was dyed, it was really light and streaky before.

 

[SBassman]

I have done fretboard touch ups, too. Nothing worse than an otherwise good looking bass with a dried out looking fretboard.

I'd also add: anyone using the dye: you might as well then seal it with some minwax wipe on. It will fill the pores and make the wood feel much smoother. I have done that to several basses with crap-rosewood fretboards. Makes a difference.

Good news is that: on at least some of the VM Squiers, the quality of the rosewood is very high. My fretboard looks great and feels like butter.

Oh, I suppose I qualify for this club now!

http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/i-finally-did-all-mods-my-squier-791569/

All I did was replace some hardware. Not really special enough to have it's own thread probably, but being it being my first time, I was excited to share.

Nice looking VM J, Ryan.

I no longer have my Squier J5, but I have an Indo Bronco now.

All I've done so far to the Bronco is change the pickup to a cream GFS Lil Killer Vintage (6k) and the knobs are black jazz (vol/tone). Strung wtih shortie Chromes and it sounds killer.

Thinking about a refin in orange or Surf Green if I have the extra cash. Good for now though. Black/maple, no problem.
