bigevilman Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) My main go to has been my squier VM 5 string P for a while. When I bought it, it had already been upgraded with hipshot tuners and American pickups. It's due a string change, so whilst I'm getting it setup, I'm thinking about treating it to an upgrade. Looking for ideas for bridges and whether a preamp would be worth doing, or upgrading to a Kiogon loom (think I've spelt that right?!?!) Any ideas welcome Edited January 19, 2020 by bigevilman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Upgrading to Ki0gon is a must and no brainer. Might exclude the pre amp idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I had the self same bass. Great build quality and we'll worth tweaking. I changed the pots, jack and cap to better quality ones, same as John, Kl0gon uses. I went for a 0.1uf capacitor at his suggestion. Bleeds a bit more treble off and gives it a real Motown vibe. Only other thing was a Wilkinson Vintage bridge. Bit more substantial than the Squier one and the brass saddles look cool. Absolutely cracking bass after only a small bit of tinkering.
