Could a Vintage Modified Fretless by Squier be worth something in the future if in mint condition?
Getting one next Friday and I am looking forward to it very much. I suppose it'd be a bit presumptuous to think that a Squier could be worth much, but I want to know if I should be putting this cleaning kit to ritualistic use.
Also, if it could be worth something, would changing the knobs for a more "Jaco look" be bad for the value?
Probably not. The reason you clean your instrument is to take care of it and keep it in good shape to perform with. If you let it get beat up and junked out, it won't perform well. And if you take care of your lower-end instruments you'll know how to do it when you have your high-end instruments in the future. The Squire Vintage Modified is a decent axe and deserves good treatment, but it'll never be a collectors' item.
That being said, changing the knobs would be fine. A Squier is a pretty solid piece of work, so you could learn how to do things like adjust your intonation and your truss rod, replace the pickups, etc. without fear of beating up a vintage bass.
But it's a pretty good bass as-is. You can never go wrong with a Fender even if it's a Squier. Good luck!
