How about the vintage modified Squier Jaguar, 30" scale,PJ pickups ,VVT controls, lovely slim jazz bass neck,only available now used but really great basses, I'd guess within budget too

I picked up a 2014 Mikey Way Squire Mustang a few weeks ago for a good price,I had been gassing for one for quite a while but they don't show up for sale too often so I jumped on this one. The silver sparkle has turned a shade of champagne gold over time it seems. It is slightly heavier than my...

Played at a small local festival last weekend with my SS jaguar, not often we get to gig outside so thought I'd get some sun on the surf green finish 😁

Thank you. The jaguar was originally black. I had it refinished in this green about 4 years ago, I think the black pickguard and headstock really suit it 😀

I only have 3 basses, all short scale, two Mustangs and a Squier VM Jaguar

Both beautiful looking basses, particularly the 1969 with the colour matching headstock👍🏼 I know the jmj has big supporters but the real play wear and tear on these is much nicer to my eye at least.

The step drill I used,each step was about 6mm, I had to go in from both sides of the headstock to completely get through

I replaced mine with the tuners from my mexican pj Mustang. I used a step drill that went from 8 to 14mm in a pillar drill but I guess you could use a handheld drill if you was careful. The step drill does not chip the wood out like a regular drill bit would do. Good luck 👍🏼

I put Nordstrand NM4 picks in my vintera ii Mustang bass, there are 2 sizes, the bigger ones, which you must have bought, I believe are for 'made in Japan' mustangs. The smaller vintage size are for all others.

Modded sonic bronco bass or the ' Bronco-Stang' as I call it. Modded with parts from a fender Mim Mustang, pickguard,pickups,tuners,refinished matching headstock. I even gigged it this week on a 3 hour set, as you say ,they really are the perfect low cost mod platform.

I quoted your post and thought I replied on my above post but I had not :meh:. I intended to say - Out of interest, which pickups did you go for, I like the sound of the stock ones but find them very low output, altering the pickup height did not change too much in terms of volume.

Thanks Felis, yes I did, the Bronco got new cts pots and switchcraft jack socket, the pickups, pickguard,tuners fom the pj mustang. I had to make a control plate to cover the bigger control cavity on the bronco body. The pj mustang has hipshot hb10 tuners, dimarzio pickups and a new pickguard...

Yes I did, I never used the J position at all and didn't want a toggle or blend knob so I filled it and had it refinished in metallic British racing green, this photo makes it look a bit like dark grey

After receiving my new vintera ii Mustang last week damaged, I am really pleased that the replacement arrived just today without any drama. It sits perfectly between my pj mustang and my modded bronco-stang.
