Hey guys, I like the VM Squiers, didn't realize Fender put out a 70s Jbass now. The only thing missing is the maple fretboard. Wadya guys think of this: http://www.fender.com/products//search. ... 0132000300

which neck did the 70's have. I have the new AM STD and I was trying to recreate the 70's look. Ive got the black guard and the maple neck, but I don't think they used the dot inlays. Little help?

It's a rosewood fretboard with the square pearl inlays and binding around the neck. It looks awesome.

So back on topic, would you guys get this? Considering the value of the VM v. the '70s Jazz Bass - new v. new off course. Future value as usual Fender will win out on this.

I dig the block inlay on the necks, very cool!

The only thing for me is whether the tone on these is too bright for my taste. The '60s tone is more my thing.

I really dig the '70s sound, I love that funk/rock, funk/disco - i know, i know :( - but I do dig the '70s fat tone. If you listen to Stanley Clark's sound, especially his older stuff, it sounds like '70s bass lines - almost porn background sound effect like :) in a non dirty way I guess.

I called customer Service about this, talked to Scott again, seems I get him every time.

It is a Mexican, soon to be coming available after NAMM show. He's seen it, one of the guys in his department has played it and loves it.

No maple neck for a while, they want to move all the Geddy Lee signatures first.

I want to play one!

I think I'm more of a 60's J-bass fan. The warmer tone suits my music better. But I love the look of these.
