I have a couple of Squier basses, a '51 Precision and a fretless Jazz, and I have no idea what kind of Squiers they are. Any way to tell?

I'm on a low key mission to figure out what exactly I have so any help/tips are greatly appreciated!

The '51 could be either, I'm pretty sure the fretless is a VM.

This may help.

Yep, I've determined the '51 is a CV and the fretless is a VM. Thanks all!

The Classic Vibe Squires have heavier bridges than VM or Affinity.

Squier doesn't make a '51. The one they make is designated a 50's P-bass, and is modelled after a '54 Fender P-bass, where Fender took the original P-bass slab body of the first P-bass and added the "comfort contours".
