Just revived my starter bass!

Sign in to disble this ad
I had an old Squier Affinity series P-bass that I got freshman year of HS for my first bass. It had a terrible twist in the neck. Once it started twisting the truss rod was virtually useless.

So I took the bass apart. Trashed the neck and put on a mighty mite neck (which is a little wider than what was on there originally, but I don't mind) and put in some Bartolini P bass pickups that I got for a steal on eBay. Cleaned up the bridge and put it all together and BAM! Brand new bass. Put some EB Flatwounds on it and its like a totally new instrument.

So glad I didn't sell it! (like I could have gotten anything for it anyway).

This thread seems to be missing something...
