Jimryan Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 As some of you may remember, a while back I bought a Squier VM p with aspirations to modify it. Here it is when I got it: Nothing special. Just a stock bass. Now I've never modded or even considered modding before, but realised, if I did, I could get exactly what I wanted. So, I set out with plans and started ordering parts. It's not technically finished yet as my hipshot hasn't arrrived from the states yet, but for the sake of photos it doesn't matter. Hope you lot like it as much as I do.

Very well balanced and the lightest bass I've ever owned. The basslines are fantastic, aggressive, full of options and higher output than my active jazz. In fact, I like this lil squier so much, it's rendered my '96 American deluxe jazz (50th anniversary of fender one) that I got off of here) pointless so I'll be selling that one, or possibly trading, but more likely selling.

Jimryan Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Do it :-P my next one will be the same but the opposite. White hardware may be a problem to find though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
