now that my friend, is brilliant!!

interesting how lots of people saying stick with the bridge... appreciate the help guys. i have some ideas now so ill update here with how i get on!!

thanks for all the input guys, really good stuff!

when were talking wiring kits and pots, again, easy enough to fit?

yeah i hear a lot about Badass', are they easy enough to fit also?

just bass bridges to replace the existing one, i assume thats correct as i dont know what a solder bridge is...haha!

It does require the use of a soldering iron though. Do you know how to use one?

haha, i did electronics at school, i knew that would come in handy some day!

Ill start looking to into getting some now, anyone got an idea with bridges?

thats ace!! good work!

hi all.

was just looking for some advice, thinking of upgrading the pickups and bridge on this squier p bass i picked up last year.

I was thinking of changing the pickups as ive heard good things about the wizard pickups. i play mostly with a pick and i go for a nice bright "trebeley"(if thats the word) tone but with some deep bass power behind it.

however, i am not too technically minded and have no idea what im doing, is this going to be difficult for me to figure out?

i appreciate any wisdom!

not at all! my first bass was a god awful jazz bass copy! i dont even know what i did with it to be honest...

just got my first rancid album, matt freeman - what a bass player, incredible!

how did i not listen to these guys sooner??

i got mine just before new year, fender was doing a £25 instant rebate aswell (result!) so got mine for just over £250.

what an excellent bass for the money, sold my fender mexican jazz to make way (and funds) for it, as i wanted to give five string a try.

great decision on my part, such a high quality bass for the price!

i picked up some red devils just last week for my p-bass, very bright tone which is perfect for me!

little bit gutted to hear how quickly the coating wears off...

+1 for the VM jazz, bought one after hearing peoples comments on here about good they are for the money, very good!

Anyone thought that instead of making it technically more interesting for themselves, they could use the time to make the act more visually appealing to the audience??

It is a show after all.

so true, use the easier bits to give it some on stage!

I`d echo Daz`s view, Squier Classic Vibe Precision - great for the JJ sound.

Ampwise, assuming you buy the Squier new, you`ll have about £80 leftover. Now an amp that is versatile, and loud, with a nice amount of gain on it, again for JJ type sounds, is the Marshall MB15. GAK, are doing them for £72.

http://www.gak.co.uk/en/marshall-mb-15-15w-2-channel-combo/4314?gclid=CP_vmO_6w60CFVGKfAodMXdhCQ

The MB has two channels, Modern, which has compression, and Classic, which emulates a valve amp, and has gain. Cracking little amp for the money.

+1 for the MB-15, i use it at home for practising on and its a great sounding amp, really good.

as for the bass, i dont know if they do a vintage modified p-bass, but i recently bought the squier vintage modified jazz and its unbelievable for the money(im not a fan of heavily lacquered necks),

i got £25 off my new squier as they are doing some instant rebate offers on www.gak.co.uk currently, not sure whether these are still running...

yeah theyre nice looking things! but probably not my cup of tea...

Ian bought my Fender Jazz today, top bloke, very easy to deal with and extremely prompt. Would happily recommend,

Adam

Is it postable?
[/quote]

i would be happy to post it, but i dont know what the best method is...

if anyone has recommendations i would appreciate your help!!

For Sale i have a standard mexican jazz bass.

No room for it, would like to keep it but i have just bought a five string jazz so its got to go!!

Has been gigged and you can see from photos that it has a few dinks around the bottom of the body.

It also had a sticker on the scratchplate and there is an extremely faint mark where this was, (can be replaced of course if a massive problem)

Plays beautifully and has a great sound,

Based in Northwich, Cheshire.

Looking for £175!

wish this was a five string! i am just about to buy one in the next couple of days!!!
