I put a vintage fender repop pg on my 2000 affinity and had to toothpick or re drill everything as well as alter the pickup opening and around the neck! What a pain! I grabbed an allparts (I think) guard from gc for my other affinity, which is a couple years newer, and it matched right up!
It was down to the basses though as the two stock white pgs, while looking almost the same, were not interchangeable either.

Same number of screw holes and the neck pockets look to match up. One of these days I will get one and see if it fits.
While I can feel the difference in materials between my two P basses, I am amazed at how well the squier plays and sounds.

| | | Hi there, here is a video I recently made, demoing the Devi Ever Hyperion Fuzz. I`m using my Squier P bass Matt Freeman Sig loaded with Dimarzio pups. I own another MF P Bass, the vintage white, that one is loaded with Basslines SPB-3
Excellent instruments, I gig them A LOT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAeZRG6p5L4 |

| | | Here is another video, this one is live with my band in a small club. I`m using the Squier MF P bass. By that time the bass still had the stock pickups and if I`m not wrong I do believe the strings are stock as well......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiHe93_IbhU |

| | Registered User | | | | | I wish I could but some one painted the headstock dull black before me. Would there be any info if I took the neck off ? It is the only Squier bass that Talked to me straight out. Has been modded a lot with badaas II bridge,EMG active pups, and Schaller tunners.Man is it a heavy bass. My tech said it was a Squier but that is as far as he could go.

They're normally sold as sets, and are available rather inexpensively at many different retail stores such as Sears, Homer Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, and so on. Allen wrenches (also known as Hex Keys) are very common and quite available. Some music stores have extras kicking around since many stringed instruments come with them, so you may be able to score a freebie. But to be honest, just get a small 5 or 8 piece set, you'll find them useful for other things suchs as adjusting your string height at the braide saddles (which requires a much smaller size than the neck adjuster).
I would suggest avoiding the "jacknife" type sets that fold up into neat little packages, often times they won't work properly when adjusting the neck because their design prohibits them from properly turning without hitting the headstock. A small eight (or so) piece set shouldn't cost any more than $4.99 for an imported set. High quality sets can cost over $50.00. Just to give you a comparitive reference.
It's going on midnight here, I'll see if I can figure out if they are metric or US and reply in the morning (I have a VMJ 70s).  |

| I like to think of Squier as "a person who squies".

The bassist who owned this Jazz before me sanded the headstock front and back and painted the whole headstock flat black,then put on the Schaller tunners.So now there is no way for me to even know what series it is. I am probably going to take the black paint off and take it back to a normal look. I'm going to wait and see what she looks like with the new pickguard I purchased from a fellow TB'er before I deciede on gloss black or natural on the headstock. The only way I even know that she is a Squier is that is what the last owner told the local music store owner when he sold it to him. The truss rod adjustment is at the headstock so I am assuming this is correct.

| | | | NBD for me- my lefty Squire VM sunburst arrived. No sense starting a new thread about it, you all know what it looks like. I'll share the common opinion here that it is well made and quite a value for that price. Let the modding begin! I had a Squire strat in the 80s and couldn't get rid of it fast enough- this is a "whole 'nother animal"!
I did notice that the body is obviously three or four planks that pick up the stain differently- not like the pretty one-piece-looking poster boy they use in the ads, but not a big deal. After having had my Rogue Hofner knock-off for 10 years or so, this finally feels like a "big boy bass"! |
