[quote name='Bassassin' post='827716' date='May 4 2010, 06:18 PM']Squier bridge - exactly the same as any other bent-tin Fender type, surely? Neck shims are frequently an essential part of correct setup of any bolt-neck bass or guitar, saying you're not a fan is like saying you're not a fan of setting intonation & adjusting the truss rod! But if you really want a BAII, go for it, don't let people talk you out of it, it's your bass. Just don't expect miracles for your £70+. And do expect to need a shim. Jon.[/quote] This is a fair comment. I shall ask around my local shops and see what they recomend also. If I have to shim, I would prob end up with the Gotoh but we'll see

Thanks guys. I may end up changing as I've been told its a squier stock bridge so I'm gonna have to; squier bridges are sh*te in fairness. I'm not really a fan of those neck shims so Badass II the best option to go for? Thanks guys

Does the Squier Vintage Modified Jaz Bass use the standard 10 hole pattern of the fender pickguard? Im looking to replace mine and dont want to buy the wrong one :S Cheers

I've heard that Leo Quan Badass II is good but I'm not sure if there are any better? Could someone please help? Cheers

Where would I get a replacement pickguard for the above bass? Cheers

most tuners dont tune to drop D. the way i change is to see when the E string and D string sound the same note. If you cant hear that, then get shopping around for one that does. As I said, there aren't many :S

I've been playing for about a year but would like to progress a bit further. Which is the best book for this job? preferably with tabs Cheers
