Thanks for all the modding tips. Will come in handy if I decide to upgrade. Maybe the pick-ups at some point. Btw, I'm going to bring the 'missing serial' to an end. There's no doubt, the serial should be there. It isn't. I'm pretty sure it was stolen at some stage of its life. Bugs me that I...

Sounds like you'll be going for a full neck replacement then. Coming from guitar, I really like the neck on this one. Mind, I've never played a P neck so can't really compare ;).

Thanks for that! Have sent him a private message to see if he can lend a hand. Still a bit annoyed that this bass might have been stolen at some point. Cheers.

Hi, quick follow up on the serial number thing. Here's some pics: No number! Tbh, I've been a bit naive about this. I did discuss the font types at the beginning of the thread because other versions had different print. But it was agreed this was an earlier model. Being as it is a 20 year...

Hmm, bit concerned that the serial is missing. At least I can't seem to find it. Would it have been engraved or printed? There's a round small sticker which reads 'CE' or 'EC'. Probably some kind of European Union compliance. Have read around and seems serials are erased when goods are stolen...

Bit of modding, I'm guessing. Mine seem to be Ok. Cheers, Carlos

Thanks for the feedback on the pups. Glad to see I can still trust my ears ;). Should be working but, you know the new toy feeling? Been trying different things out and this thing rocks. Never thought I'd say playing bass could be so much fun, lol. Did you get the bit I commented on the oil...

Thanks for that! Very happy with the purchase. Will be updating on the other thread as it's now not realted to the 'TUNE' topic. Cheers! Carlos

I can talk a little about my thoughts with Squier based on my experience with guitars. I remember back in the early nineties, at least, where I used to live, and happen to live again, Squiers were considered a last resort. A MIM Fender was considered the minimum to aspire to. There were no...

Sorry mate. Missed your post in my last message. Thanks for the tip. Had I know, I would've stopped by there to begin with. Maybe in the near future if this whole bass world starts getting me. Quite chuffed with my experience on talkbass. Nice people on here. On a tangent, could've also bought...

Hi guys, quick update on this one. Got an email from the Japanese company: "Hello, this bass (SJX-4 WN )was made in Japan around 15years ago. Thank you. Kanda" Short but clear. I know I might be missing up on an opportunity but I've decided to let this one down. As I mentioned, I'm not a...

God bless the internet! Only got through a few pages and was cracking up. Just when you think you're all alone out there. Found it so amusing, actually showed my partner the whole thing. ;) Thanks for that and when the time comes, I'll read through the threads and get up to speed on the...

I wouldn't even tell her I'm spending this time on the forum. The accusations of 'obsession' will slowly start rolling my way. Not sure how the 'other wives' deal with you guys but mine just takes the mick out of me for spending so much time on instrument research but she'll have none of my...

Thanks for that! As soon as i get the bass and I put something down with it, I'll share a track or two so people can see how it turned out.

Hi, could you link that? Been the page but it's a bit '1996, LOL. Ta! Carlos
