Loving the upgrades here. I have major GAS for one of these especially as I’ve never tried a medium scale bass. Not a bad thing considering how cheap they are. The orange one has been driving me crazy, but after seeing the one non stock photo of it on TB, I still like it, but my Squier PJ Candy Apple Red has a nice burnt orange tinge to it anyway, so I think I’m more likely to go for another colour. Would prefer maple over Indian Laurel anyway, which narrows it down to black or blue. @0175westwood29 Love your video, some really filthy tones through your board there. Lake Placid Blue with maple neck looks awesome with black plate. Where did you get the black plate, as it comes with white? I prefer black plates on anything. Thanks. Not sure how much longer I can hold off on this bargain bass

Full set of both silver stock and black screws with it. Also silver (3 knob & jack hole) control plate for same bass, with screws.

After acquiring a P bass with a KiOgon loom already installed, I decided to get one fitted to my Squier VM short scale Jaguar. John built a Vol/Blend/Tone loom onto my Jag’s control plate. Also with a Switchcraft jack which feels so much sturdier to plug into than the puny stock jack. I’d read so much about these pre-wired looms that before it had even arrived I’d already ordered one for a Squier VM PJ bass I’d just got. VBT again, with a side jack. John was most helpful and patient in answering my questions, both looms were sent out in good time with fitting instructions and a cool tiny screwdriver for the screw terminals. Thanks!

So I haven’t actually plugged in my Squier VM Jaguar shorty much at all since testing it alongside my other PJ and finding both the Jag’s pickups to not sound as good. But I’ve picked it up lots and played acoustically as it just feels so nice, light, comfy and easy to play on my lap. And such a nice neck too. I don’t feel I can properly judge it and decide how I feel about short scale until I’ve given this a fair go and had some better pickups installed. So I ordered the EMG Geezer PJ set that was for sale on here. Can’t wait to try it. I see that it comes with with all the pots, jack, etc. I’ll probably just install the pickups themselves into the KiOgon loom I put in it. I guess I won’t run into issues doing it like this? I’m sure I’ve read comments (either here or elsewhere, can’t find them right now) that said to ditch the packaged EMG pots anyway if you already have good electronics as what you have is likely better than the included stuff. Any thoughts? Thanks -

I saw a bit of them on BBC at a Cardiff festival recently and it looked like a blue JMJ -
