Well, even the best laid plans…
One of the big issues with the Squier VIs is intonation. The cheapened bridge is o ly 1/2” wide and intonation is a PITA. The original Fender burnishes are 1” wide but since it’s a specialty item they just use the stock 1/2” they use for other Jazzmaster style guitars.
I already see I can’t get intonation set on the OEM bridge. Some say you can flip it round and it works but I have a replacement so why bother? So, off to the upgrade page to do all my upgrades now. Lol

Ooh, someone’s read The Rules! It had also crossed my mind while flicking through this thread in particular that N+1 could so easily be applied to bass guitars as well as bicycles.

Its easier to come up with things you can’t apply N+1 to

Or accordions, or bagpipes, or didgeridoos, or Pop! Vinyl figures, or table-top games, or vintage computers/video games, or Hawaiian shirts or… I mean, really, what can’t it be applied to?
Sadly, N+1 is used up at my house. My GF got well over it when I was a cyclist. It doesn’t work for me now.

Great, now I got Living Doll stuck in my head. Mainly Gerard Ekdom’s legendary lip sync versions

Interesting! I don’t know anything specific about 760Ms having issues with low action. They do have really “vintage” (read:crap) intonation on low notes, which is part of why a lot of people don’t know the right notes to Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone. 
I have high action on that bass because:
A) Jamerson
B) Jamerson
C) It makes the bass harder to play, which makes you play less notes and really ‘mean it’ when you do play one… in other words: Jamerson.

That’s the power of maths for you… the same formula can often be applied in several different contexts

Yeah if you really want to target him I think you have to make your bass basically unplayable
I forget where I read a story from when one of his peers tried his bass but it was pretty funny.

Hi Everyone! This is technically not my bass but in my search for a p-bass I’m being offered this Squier CV that’s new but was dropped for $250 Dollars. That bass goes new here for $600.
Other than that spot it is in perfect condition but I can’t try it out for it is in a distant town.
I’d like to hear your comments, please.

If it’s just the paintwork that was damaged, it’s a bargain.
It’s unlikely that the electronics are damaged.
If it was dropped, I would want to know if the headstock also hit the ground - is the neck still firmly screwed into the body (screw holes can always be filled and redrilled).

@jonathanhaynes43 I have pictures of the rest of the bass and it doesn’t have any other dents or visible damages. That’s why I’m seriously considering it. Thanks!
