FlyStraight99 Posted Monday at 19:07 Posted Monday at 19:07 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? 😁 13 Quote
HeadlessBassist Posted Monday at 19:23 Posted Monday at 19:23 Looks just right to me. How does it sound..? Quote

paul_5 Posted Monday at 21:26 Posted Monday at 21:26 Still got more strings than knobs, not excessive at all! Quote
ead Posted Monday at 22:10 Posted Monday at 22:10 A bit more Pink Floyd than punk maybe? Just my view comparing the bass to the Roger Water sig. bass. Quote
KiOgon Posted Monday at 22:13 Posted Monday at 22:13 What?! no ki_ogon wiring loom? Can't be right 😂 2 Quote

Norris Posted Monday at 22:29 Posted Monday at 22:29 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 Quote
Bassassin Posted Tuesday at 00:31 Posted Tuesday at 00:31 Just get a set of cream covers on those SDs (to match the fretboard) & that'll be sorted. 👍 2 Quote

Beedster Posted Tuesday at 09:13 Posted Tuesday at 09:13 Easy @FlyStraight99, modding quickly becomes addictive! Nice work 👍 Quote
neepheid Posted Tuesday at 09:38 Posted Tuesday at 09:38 (edited) Overkill? Pfft, have you started modding this bass yet? Edited Tuesday at 09:39 by neepheid Quote

sprocketflup Posted Wednesday at 14:15 Posted Wednesday at 14:15 A new neck and a replacement body and you'll be about there 1 Quote
Happy Jack Posted Wednesday at 14:16 Posted Wednesday at 14:16 Those fanned frets don't look awfully fanned to me, and you clearly gave up on the torzal twist ... 1 Quote
