Bought a CV JB last week and strung it up with TI Flats .The bass sounds great with roundwounds , but after spending $70.00 on those strings ....the flats are staying for the long haul .......I hope . 
somebody just put up a MIC era CV60 Jazz bass not far from me, ooo so tempting.
then I went and broke my phone today, first time I've ever broken a screen. It's 8 years old, really has too little memory for the space hogging apps you need for every little thing. Killed any music gear GAS for a while

Get a cheap burner phone to tide you over, then buy the bass!
May I please have a number for this club? I ordered a CV 60s bass in white w/ tortoise PG yesterday to arrive next Wednesday.
Anyone know which body and fingerboard woods are used in a 2007 CV fretless jazz? Poplar and laurel, like the more recent CV fretlesses?
I’m considering getting one for cheap and replacing the pickups and pots (one pot and knob is broken). Serial starts with IC07 so i think it’s a 2007. Pickups are the Duncan Designed variety. Might replace those, too.

IC07 isn't a Classic Vibe, it's a Vintage Modified. The neck didn't have any gloss coating, and they were very thin and fragile necks between '07 and '13. My 2 centimes d'€uro.
Thanks the seller must’ve installed a pickguard on it so it looks like a CV. Or it’s a CV body with a VM neck. Either way, I’ve decided to pass. Would rather spend more for something with ebony, pau ferro or rosewood.
This weekends gig with my new (old) first gen Classic Vibe p bass. It’s either a 2009 or 2010.
Nice, if you put the mint guard and fender vintage bridge on it, it is hard to different it between Sonic blue Squier CV60P or Fender AVri 63P from distance .
I been mention on previous post that i sold the indo Cv70P because the weird fretting feel within 1st fret til 6th fret. Then i bought Fender Player P which has pretty close neck profile to my previous CIC Cv60P . In 2018-2019 i been own 2 Player P but disappointed with their QC.
I am too naive and think the new batch Player line has improve on their QC, ( base on TB member share ), i am totally wrong !!! 2 unit i receive are completely disaster , the first unit has serious low fret issue found along with warp pickguard. The replacement unit has unfinished fret leveling work !!!! All fret has no crown at all !!!!
I can't imaging how the QC on latest Player II series .....
Even current day Indo CV can't catch up with CIC CV quality, they still has better QC over the Fender Player i been own .

I love this GC exclusive CV, I’ve always been tempted to get one, but I just bought a 40th vintage modified
After return 2 suck QC brand new Fender Player P bass, i own a Charvel Pro mod PJ IV about a week now.
This bass has stunning look . Even under same hood , she still has better QC over Fender Player. Surpricingly, my Mattfreeman P neck still play nicer than the Charvel PJ neck.

Mine (CV 60, Olympic White & Tort) arrived last Thursday from a well-know online/B&M) seller. I was at a doctor's appointment but watched (on the Ring doorbell app) the driver from a well-known carrier carefully unload and carry the box to the porch and hand it to my wife. The bass was double-boxed and there was no damage to the inner and outer boxes. The inner box was the original Squier box.
The bass arrived damaged. The top edge near the control knobs has a split in it approx. 1.5" long, the back is worse. There is damage to the edge and just around the corner, a triangular piece about 1" x 1/2" "popped off" the bass along with a smaller piece.
No other damage to the bass it was pristine.
I found the two missing pieces in the "snow storm" of styrofoam on the floor.
My "forensic analysis" showed that the package was dropped in more or less playing position. The wood is thin near the edge where the damage occurred because of the control routing.
I contacted the seller by email and text and so far no responce, The carrier -- forget it.
I feel the packaging was not as good as it seemed at first glance since the inner box was not suspended in the center of the outer box,crosswise. They were aligned corner to corner along the long edge.
I'm asking for a credit. There is no point in pursuing it other that. For now I have covered the two damaged area with white electrical tape.
The truss rod required one twist of the Allen key to set the neck relief. I played it for a couple of hours. It sounds great for having new round wounds on it. It plays very well. I have a set of flats to put on it after I'm sure it's not going back. But I'm pretty sure it's a keeper.
The very thick and brittle Polyurethane finish is loose at the damaged areas. I need to research what kind of glue to use. And rig up some kind of clamp and caul to hold the finish to the body. I'll probably go for slow-set epoxy.
Anyone have any ideas?
P.S. I feel this bass is every bit as good as the Player Jazz bass I bought last year. I just wanted a P bass. Haven't had one since the late 60s.

Darn, that must have been a pretty hard hit on the ground! Sorry for your trouble... if the neck is safe and sound and you don't care too much for the huge paint/finish chips, well, it's a keeper for you! I hope you still get a partial refund or answer from the seller... Always ship basses with insurance should be mandatory. That being said I don't have any ideas of which glue to use...
Not a "real/full" Classic Vibe post for me this time, but yeah another PARTS-BASS using a '19 CIC CV 50s Precision Bass neck with the NO-TINT (or very very light) poly finish and the GOLDEN LEAF Squier logo
I now have 8 CIC Squier and Fender necks (all from Grand Reward plant) and 3 of the 6 Squier necks have the golden leaf headstock logo variant. My fave!
There you go...
The whole Squier CIC Classic Vibe neck'd basses family:

I received one with damaged body. Filed a claim with FedEx. They sent me a check which covered more than a replacement body. I purchased a new body and put it to use.
As for the damaged body. I repaired it and picked up a neck for it. Had enough electronics and hardware laying around to put another bass together. So all worked out pretty good.
