Bloomin' Bronco - modded Squier Sonic Bronco Bass

[Immo]

Here is my doom machine I built a year ago. It's a Squier Sonic Bronco in Tahitian Coral, heavily modified and personalized, strung with Ernie Ball Bass Flats 2801.
Such a fun instrument, easy to play and great sounding. And I think the customising work I've done made it quite a looker, too.

 

Work done:

- Swaps:

• Pickup to Seymour Duncan SCPB-3 "Quarter Pounder" (I had to attach an additional ply of MDF with threads to the bottom and add springs to make it adjustable)
• Tuners to Gotoh GB11W
• Nut to Tusq XL
• Bridge saddles to 3-slotted vintage ones I had laying around (don't know the make)
• string tree to Gotoh TB54 string retainer
• knobs to Hosco HK-MKF

- Add-ons and personalisation:

• Fender Vintage Jazz Bass pickup cover in chrome
• custom order vinyl wrap on pickguard and headstock
• custom 12th fret "marker" done with ultra-thin vinyl wrap and GitD tape
• Fender Strap Blocks in Daphne Blue
