Might try that A-A before Changing strings.

Yep defo going for a Fender Trem...cause it says Fender n that.

Going to try all ways to make original bridge work, as I desperately want to fit a mute to it.

I changed strings to do it, stuck a bari set on there (think I had to get Circle Ks).

Nice one. I think the pups in the CV's are lower output than the VM's.

Had a rehearsal a couple months where a mate used a Squier Jaguar bass modded into a VI.

Only plugged in briefly. Will checkout output later.

Nice! Once you get into playing them they're great makes you come up with ideas you'd otherwise never play.

Or just play the Cure and Blonde redheads back catalogue

I don't immediately hate it like I did on the Jag so hopefully not.

I took it apart tonight to remove all the stickers and sawdust. Darkened the fretboard. Installed a shim (probably too thick) raised bridge and give it a little more relief. Low E is less buzzy now. I have managed to get it almost intonated.

Couple of naff things.

Loads of glue around the nut that I had to scrape off. Also the tuners are naff quality, the B refused to tune back up to B and just kept slipping. Luckily I also some Klusons arrive for my Vm Jag (from your old pal kim) so I have stolen a tuner off the Vm and will eventually replace all of them with VM tuners when I swap the klusons over. Apart from that its great

5.7 ohms is like the resistance of 1 cm of copper wire.

You nearly didn't get the ohms.

I would appreciate it if in the future you didn't highlight my numbness and just edit me smart please.
