wraub Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 It's already pretty loud. I'm not sure I'm zoned for that. Although if that's a Squier thing, I might pass. I like that it looks so basic, and sounds so sweet. It's easier to get into the henhouse that way. Thanks all. Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

wraub Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Another update: It's still awesome, don't worry. Recently removed the neck, and the penciled date is from '84, despite having what appears to be a JV series neck. Doing some more research, this bass appears to be a transitional model made in the switch from the SQ series to the E series. It seems to have parts from each Japan Squier era. Essentially. it's a mutt. I still have not seen another SQ Jazz bass. And I have been looking. I almost think some employee put it together for himself. Recently put DR LoRiders on it, and it's pure Marcus. Joy. Just keeping y'all informed. Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

Rocky McDougall Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hey Wraub, Buying and selling Fenders, as you probably know by now, is my "Retirement Business" . The Squier's of this era are very difficult to research. Looks as though you have done your homework. They do carry the reputation as being very good instruments. Some of the prices on Ebay show this. I have only had 2 of these guitars and both were very nice and similar to the Fender Japan Vintage series of today. I think you have a prize, enjoy it.

way2fat Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Originally posted by groover: Put a black pickguard on it to make it even louder! I have a mid 80's MIJ P-bass that's really beat up but it sounds and plays great! I believe mine is an E series as the serial number begins with an E, but it's not a Squier. The Headstock says Fender Precision. The body is smaller than a normal P-bass (like a P-bass lyte) and has no pick guard. I can't find any info on this bass other than it was manufactured somewhere between '84 and '87. Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any info for this bass? groover, my MIJ starts with a G and was made in '87. I'm guessing yours is an '85. www.ethertonswitch.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraub Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Groover, I believe the fat one is correct. The E series was right after the SQ series, and the SQ series ended in late '84 by most accounts. Rocky, it is indeed a prize. The other night, I A/Bed it against my neighbor's '68 Jazz. Only unplugged, but the Squire had more resonance, a better feeling neck, and tons more vibe. Really. Have I mentioned I am pleased? Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getz out Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sucker... how can you be happy with a bass you spent so little on? You cannot enjoy something unless you blow a big wad of cash! It is true, just ask your local retailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a place nearby selling a brown '72 P bass. Only $3000. I should call them. Peace, wraub p.s. And I was gonna post some sound samples. I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

thanny XIII Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 it looks a little weird. meh doesn't look like most fenders. Mind you i don't like fenders much. even though my first bass was a p copy. I'm really in to carvins. I knew a girl that was into biamping,I sure do miss her.-ButcherNburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three years ago they were going for 300-400. Now they're fetching 600 and up. www.ethertonswitch.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
