    Maybe new idea

    I imagine the headstock change helped in keeping the neck up, which would benefit me, but with now still mostly Squier parts the body may be my main point of interest. To cut almost 4 lbs. conceivably would be nice. Bought one of the wide straps but it is too wide and causes pain in my neck. Do...

    I give that a creative thumbs up on design. From the picture is looks well done. Did you do a before and after weigh in? I am not nearly that handy yet.

    I am glad to know that mind reading and divination is still a thing. Many members are very serious about what is to me a trivial attempt at self aggrandizement and panache. Like putting racing stripes on a VW. You should relax. Still gonna be my cheap/inexpensive bass. I was really hoping...

    Neat! Is it a very heavy bass?

    Have an SX that I was considering that on. Haven't done much woodwork and would want to match the vintage tint. That shouldn't hurt the structural integrity of the headstock or neck do you think? Did you get a template or just eyeball it? Looks great! Cheers

    Howdy Fuzzfarmer, That is interesting. That is original, correct? I would like mine to look like that. Yours was made in Korea, mine are from Indonesia. May eventually change the body as it is very heavy and I don't believe made of standard Fender style woods along with the pickups, pots...

    Hello, I need to refinish the headstock of a Squire. Want to clear gloss it. Just wanting opinions on a headstock decal idea. Was thinking of the gold Fender logo with smaller Made by Squier text in black underneath it. No intention to mislead. Would just look better to me and as long as I...

    Modify Squier VM Jazz Bass

    Thanks for the threads to investigate, alanloomis1980. I have played an SX P bass and the neck is smaller than the original 1.75". After playing the Jazz bass I found a distinct preference for it, when I started back on the SX. Also a MIM in guitarcenter felt noticeably larger. I believe that I...

    Modify Squier VM Jazz Bass

    Hello Micael, Well done, in my humble opinion. How heavy is your jazz bass? Do you know the name of the color of white that the body is finished in. The nut and tuners will probably be the first to go on mine. I will have to look around as the hipshots are a bit pricey for me. I will look...

    Modify Squier VM Jazz Bass

    Howdy Malak, Very nice set of basses Sir! I love the black on black. The weight was taken on a bathroom scale so the accuracy is suspect. I've always believed it to be 10 lbs. over {;-). Thanks for the info. I will keep my eyes open for a body and parts. Time is on my side. I envision the...
