Smash Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) Here I have a Squier Telebass and it has had quite a bit done to it, as you can see, an extra pickup was installed by the previous owner a Duncan Seymour Basslines Humbucker but I couldn't tell you which version it is and I have swapped out the original squier mudbucker for a DiMarzio Model 1 Neck Humbucker. Also it has been fitted with a Badass III bridge which allows string through body and has some different tuners to the original versions but again they seem unbranded. Also someone has filed off the Squier logo, I have no idea why but as you see it is not there. When using the pickups I am sure they have been wired out of phase (if that's the right terminology) as putting them both on full seems to get lower output, you have to nudge volume pot back a tad so that one pickup will dominate, have no idea about electronics so I can't help with questions re this. So if you fancy deep 60s bass then use the DiMarzio solo'd or if you fancy a Musicman style then opt for the Basslines pickup which has a bit more treble bite. The other control is a tone pot. I will ship with the case you see in the picture and this is a heavy bass, it gives a very dark warm tone, would be useless for slappers but great for Motown 60's groove styles.

andy67 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 You would get more selling the parts! If you decide that's the way to go let me know I'd love the neck. cheers andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Had 9 offers so far so might sell as whole, but wondering if I was to split would anybody be interested in the body fully loaded? Or I may swap for effects pedals, mainly boss effects, let me know what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 hi not interested in the bass, but every bass i've ever played has had a lower output when on both pickups, something to do with the wiring, someone explained it once but i forgot...

Strange as they're both MEC equipped basses, one a J/J and the other a P/J Anyways, nice bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted to put a PUP at the bridge of my old Tele and kinda wish I did, so I'm guessing your bass probably sounds nice? If you want a good return on your investment, perhaps ebay it after Xmas, I'm sure you'll get some interest Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just get a bit angry with myself for modding a bass which in parts cost me quite a bit of cash which I know I would not see anything near (or anything close to). Come to think of it Chris I think I was originally going to buy your PUP but it sold or something then I spent £85 on the Dimarzio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
