My bass project!!!

[Tommygunn]

I am waiting for my Squier Mike Dirnt Precision Bass in the mail. It has a QP installed so it should sound frickin sweet!

Well I want to mod it like the photoshop above and I'd like to get peoples input!

Specs...
Colour: I'd actually like to colour it burgundy mist and keep the star
Pickguard: White or PG-less
Pickups: Darkstar neck, Qp middle, ??? Bridge
Bridge: Stock until I hit the lottery and get a BAII
Wiring: 3 stacked knobs vol/tone one for each pup, Kill switch or Active/passive switch (see below)
Other: Fender 1951 precision ri or Squier 50's CV precision neck (2nd neck shown in pic)

I was thinking about it active with a switch to make it passive. If I do 9 or 18? I know the difference between the 2 but I'm just asking what you would want. Also I know I'm just going to put the cheapest pup I can find but after I get some more money what pickup I should get?


Thx for the help!

My bad... I bought it used, should have stated that!

Lol you say you'll get a $70 bridge when you hit the lottery but a $150 pickup is closer in your range! priorites!
But seriously, this seems like a great idea and good luck man!
Hope it works!
Peace

Well I'm getting the pup from Stickk! LOL JK! As much as I like the bada$$II I think it could hold off until I get my necessary pups!

A Badass will have a lot less effect on his tone than a Darkstar, and the stock bridge will work fine, I think his prioritys are dead on.

Proving my point!

Delano PMVC 4 FE/M2, or DiMarzio Split P. Different beasts, but they look the part...

Splitcoil, you are the man when it comes to messing with Tommy. You decide if thats a good thing or not.

But Tommy, I hope you get this. And if you decide to do a J pup or something, PM Stickk. He has a few spares.

And I'll pm Stickk and see what he can do!
