I think I went a bit overkill on the mods!

[FlyStraight99]

SD quarter pounders PJ pickups, multitonal gotoh bridge, Schaller tuning heads,  a matte black s/plate … and black volume / tone knobs

 

 

what do you guys think? Enough mods for grunge/rock/punk covers? 😁

[HeadlessBassist]

Looks just right to me. How does it sound..?

[cocco]

Gorgeous! 

 

I bet this is a rock machine. 

[Lozz196]

Think it looks really good

[JazzyJ]

Nowt wrong with that 👍

Might even make a half decent metal machine. 😄

Still got more strings than knobs, not excessive at all!

A bit more Pink Floyd than punk maybe? Just my view comparing the bass to the Roger Water sig. bass.

[KiOgon]

What?! no ki_ogon wiring loom? Can't be right 😂

I'm sure that will be coming shortly.

That's the best mod-job I've ever seen on a Ricky 4001.

You can't go wrong with a set of SDQPs. Everything else is for the eyes, those are for the ears. They transformed my Squier P-bass Special, which is still my favourite 4-string

Just get a set of cream covers on those SDs (to match the fretboard) & that'll be sorted. 👍

So good that it doesn’t look like one any more and thus becomes aesthetically pleasing

Easy @FlyStraight99, modding quickly becomes addictive! Nice work 👍

[neepheid]

Overkill?  Pfft, have you started modding this bass yet?

That was a fairly conventional set of mods when I was younger.
