Squier Owners Club

[ponticat]

Here's my modified Bronco. I really wanted a maple neck bass and this Bronco was the cheapest one I could find; a used 2004 for $100.

I jettisoned the electronics and strings; made a pickguard out of 1/8" hardboard and sprayed it with Dupli-Color metallic silver truck lacquer; tilted a Seymour Duncan P-Bass Quarterpounder 25 degrees to normal to line up the strings over the polepieces and mounted it Strat-fashion; wired it directly to a Switchcraft jack in a Strat jack plate; added a blind-mounted thumbrest shaped from a piece of 5/16" x 1/2" basswood; installed a Musicmaster bridge that I drilled for top loading; strung it up with LaBella flats.

Finally, I added my own logo.

This little bass has proved to be a real delight to play.

Very Nice work , I would love to do something like that , however changing the strings on my bass is about as technical a I get unfortunately

[squier44]

Hello everyone,

I've been waiting to join this club for a long time, but didn't want to until my masterpiece was finished.

I promise to go back and read all 15 pages when I get the chance

Ignore the fact that it's the Pete Wentz signature.





It has a badass bridge, hipshot tuners, hipshot tree, hipshot knobs, GHS tapewounds, Seymour duncan 1/4 pounder, and Dimarzio black pickguard screws. Oh yea, and I added the thumbrest

...oh yes, and it's BEAD tuned, and the second knob is a villex passive rotary tone booster

Here's a sound-byte (I understand that the pictures my pocket PC takes, aren't very good. My sister broke the good camera).

Has the ball been dropped in assigning numbers to all of those who have joined?

I was going to say, don't feel ashamed.

I can't speak for everyone, but I know that my squier is very very expensive now, especially after the villex guts I put in it.

and Squiers are all about having something to beat around, right?

and as a digression, it's pronounced "squweeer" not "squire", right
