I'd really love to have one of these (or especially in tort), but I can't justify 50us for simple ornamentation, especially given that the bass only cost me $149, brand new. At the advice of someone here on the forum a while back, I got a can of black satin Krylon Fusion, and spray painted my...

To comment on a couple previous posts, I agree that these little bastages are a great deal, I've even had perfectly acceptable service from the cheap bridge and tuners. When I was first considering my Mini (maybe a year and a half ago?), I spotted a killer (and short lived) deal at one if the...

Well, I did hear that there's an entire sub-forum dedicated to them on one of the big bass forums !! :laugh::D

I traded into a mini Strat a few years back, and was surprised at what a cool little player it was. It didnt even need intonating ! But, after playing it exclusively for maybe a week, I grabbed my trusty bedside Tele, and that thing felt HUGE !! it messed my playing up completely, LOL! I...

Thanks, but I'm not sure what a "greenie" is.

I installed a full harness, that had full sized components. The pots did fit inside,laterally, (barely), but the orange drop cap kept my pickguard from laying completely flat. The PG is black, against a black body,so it doesnt really stand out, but a small gap is there. So I've found that it's...

I'm seeing real close to 14" 3/8.

Oops, my bad !

I just saw one on Reverb, apparantly they're a special order for Chicago Music Exchange. Squier Bronco Bass Shell Pink (CME Exclusive) Pre-Order | Reverb Squier Bronco Bass Shell Pink (CME Exclusive) Pre-Order | Reverb

While I also wouldn't presume to tell anyone what to do with their axe, I think expressing opinions on an open forum/discussion board is not only fair game, its basically the point of them. Soooo.......IMHO, that bridge cover looks absurdly large and diaproportionate on the diminutive Mini P...

Sadly, my most distressed finish can be viewed on my latest driver's license photo !!

Not trying to be argumentative, but isnt "beside the point", it actually WAS the question, that he asked, and that you quoted before responding. :)

Agreed, that factory PG is pretty weak. As I've mentioned before, I followed the advice of someone here last year, and gave both my Bronco and later my mini P, several coats of Krylon Fusion in black satin, and it came out way better than expected, and only a fraction of the cost of a nice...

I'd love to give that a shot, too, but I just know (for me,anyway,) it would inevitably turn into a disappointing, teeth-gnashing-grind-from-hell !! :)

Yeah, that green guard really improves the overall look. I never much liked the red mini, but that green guard is a game changer.
