Nice one , how does it compare to your other shorties?

Liking the choice of guard, maybe I should get a vintage blond for mine?

The first thing you notice is the weight, its a lot hevier than any of my other bases. The neck also feels a lot chunkier, and fret spacing is not as comftable as my 30.5" scales. I keep meaning to check it against a P neck coz it feels just like my old Mike Dirnt's neck. To be honest bought it as much on looks as sound. I do love the tone of that big humbucker though. I have a few more mods planed for the future. Guna change the bridge and mod to strung through the body (its a tele so it should be strung through) the J pick-up is a bit weaker than the humbucker so might try somthing a bit hotter. also some more cosmetic stuff, bridge controle plate and knobs in black chrome should see it done. I did consider fitting a third pickup (the single coil type in the other model) but having tryed one a few weeks ago im not guna bother coz it was no match for the tone of the speical. Intrestingly i tryed the new pawn shop Mustang the other day, it has the humbucker too. Sounded wicked and will be my next purchase.

as for pick-guards ? thats a hard one. black on blond looks good, a pearl would bling it up. a white pearl mite look good, It dose on the new oly white pawn shop mustang. My fender jag (in oly white) looks good with its tort guard mabe try n get some photos of difrent types print samples out n put them next to your bass? worth noting i made my own coz i couldnt find anyone selling them though. Im to tight to pay 50 plus for a custom job lol. You will notice all my basses have matching pick-guards :-)
