Just purchased a Squier VM 5 online. I will be using this bass as a back up. Buying it sight unseen, but from what I've read and been told the VM models are very good basses for the money. Projected delivery date is this saturday.

So all you VM owners post on here and let me know that I made a good choice. :mrgreen:

Here's a few pictures of the bass I'm getting;

I like being able to at least see the actual bass I buying. Good close up of the serial number so you know it's the actual bass.
I've bought several items from them and they always treat me right. Bought mt FCS Jazz from them last year. Getting this one as a back up to it.

Got the bass today. Looks better the the pictures.
The neck is very nice. It's good and straight. I like the satin finish. Smooth and fast.
Really surprised at the playability of this bass. All I needed to do was a little adjustment on string height and set the intonation.
I can dial in a decent sound with the equipment I have, but replacing the pups is an option I'm keeping open. They're plenty hot enough, just not quite getting the tone I like. It's not bad though.
Only found a few fit and finish issues, string tree screw is installed crooked and the control knobs too, but I like the feel of this bass and I'm not worried about the small stuff. It's all easily fixable.
