Well that’s good to hear, since I was totally winging it!

Oh, this is good food for thought. I’ve always figured that if I ever try learning electric guitar, a Squier tele is probably what I’d go for. I adore my classic vibe p-bass & still can’t quite believe the quality for the price.

Yeah I agree. I have a Squier Classic Vibe Esquire FSR 50’s in Daphne Blue, it’s really an impressive instrument for the price. a Classic Vibe Telecaster would be cheaper (if not an FSR) and still the same quality.

What differentiates an Esquire and a Tele? Pickups?

Yeah, the Telecaster has a neck pickup and the Esquire has only the bridge pickup. Also the electronics is a little bit different, but yeah the real difference is the neck pickup. So a Telecaster is much less exclusive than an Esquire.

I learned something new! If I saw that in a shop, I would’ve just called it, “The weird Tele without a neck pickup.”

Nice! Looks like an RBX? Cool litle basses.

I took a quick look at Cabronitas before buying my Revstar. Really cool guitars. I need to find a way to embrace the slab.
I found some Tele’s with a contour but they were expensive

Love this! Good job! 
Definitely! Loved the old RBX 170 I started on!

I love Cabronitas but the Gretsch-style pickups are not versatile at all. The Revstar is a much more rational choice if you stick with only one or a few guitars

Zero-mod thumb rest. Feels really weird but I suspect that’s just a sheer newness factor
It fits, it works

Is that an RBX260? I had one of those for a long time. Surprisingly good instrument.

that’s pretty neat! 
I remember I had to DIY my own on the yamaha 
corners of the pickups used to be really uncomfortable for the thumb, but the gap between the pickups/body was just enough to cut the shape out of pick to slot in

How are you liking it? I bought one for a Stingray 4H, and I like it, but it is too tall and blocks quick access to the E string. I want to shave it down to be the same height as my pickup.

It’s not much taller than the pickup or the neck. Maybe 1/8" taller on this bass. I need more time with it really have an opinion. As it’s a single coil P there is no cover on it, so I am sort of used to my hand free floating. May just restart B2B and get reaccustomed to a more conventional position for my right hand
The pickup is a stacked humbucker, one pickup on top of the other, wound in reverse to kill the hum, so it is kind of tall
Yes indeed! Perfect instrument for a careless teenager.

I had on on my stingray as well I didn’t like it but I’m not really a thumb rest kinda guy. It feels a bit too far I like ramp as it’s upclose and personal. Lol.
