maxoges Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) This came out on the used market really cheap. I couldn't resist it. Too cooI! I shielded it and changed the pickups for a pair from a sire bass I had laying around. It came out sounding great! No need the do any other mods to it! The squire pickups mesured 5 ohms and the Sire pickups 7 ohms. I was going the remove the pickups anyway because of the shielding-job. The Squier pickups sounded fine, but were a bit weak. The tuners were supriseingly good. They're no hipshots, but i'd use them live. Edited July 26, 2023 by maxoges 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moley6knipe Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 That’s really nice! I love the old early P scratch shape on pretty much anything, including a Jazz it now seems. Good score! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I really want a black/gold pickguard one with cream DiMarzio Model Js. For no good reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 That’s screaming out for a headstock mod in my eyes. I think a Tele shape would be perfect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxoges Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Maybe a warmoth neck in the future. It has to be really special because there's nothing wrong with the existing neck, other than the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I bought one not long after they came out in a transparent white finish. Made in China if I remember right and it was flawless but a bit heavy. The black one is tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxoges Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Put on a new logo today. First try printing and applying a water slide decal. Edited July 26, 2023 by maxoges 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
