Since you love us so much, can you also show us what it would look like with '51 bridge and pickup covers and a black '51 pick guard?? Haha

Fender La Cabronita Precision Bass

Just received mine. Looks awesome and sounds even better. Even with the stock strings. Much louder than my Squier CV 50s Pbass. The neck is also very similar to the squier's in terms of playability. I don't have the biggest hands!! I'm slapping on Chromes this evening. I'll post pics ASAP. If you're thinking about getting this bass just stop thinking and just do it!!!!
If they did one up in shell pink I'd be all over it like thanksgiving gravy:

They aren't expensive enough to rule out a refinish.

I can't believe how great some of these mockups look!
I love the way that Shell Pink looks without the control plate.
Thanks to the graphic artists!

Well, I was a bit sloppy with the black one, but you get the idea:
I kind of like the first one, I'm a chrome fan!
And I must add, With pickguard AND plates, kind of defeats the purpose, it just looks like a normal P, haha.
The question is : would a '51 bridge cover fit over that bridge?? BTW put Chromes on my Cabronita this morning and she purrs with the tone rolled off and she bites when you roll it on. I could not be happier!

Man, those photochops are totally pimp.
I wonder if those pickguards would really work?

I've got a beat Douglas Pisces that I was about to piece out or sell cheap, but I think I may just make a po'man Pink Cabronita out of it.
The Pisces has a top rout so I think I'd just mod the pickguard shape a little to mate with the control plate better. Then fill the SCPB route with some bondo, route for a TV Jones Thunderblade, rough sand, and ReRanch. Total ghetto, but sounds like a fun project and I'd really only be out sweat, sore elbow, and a few bucks.

I have to admit that the 51 style pickguard looks great, but then it looks like a '51 P Bass. Either way, it's an aesthetic win!!! 
I haven't played one, but I'd love to put in a bridge pup and a three way switch. 
Black with no PG would be pretty sweet... like something Dusty Hill would play.

the telecaster bridge cover is supoused to be 3" inner diameter in the narrow part and 4" inner in the wide part but I dont know how long is it. I think it dosent fit.
It would be grat if someone with a tele bridge cover can measure it so somebody can make a copy in paper board to se if it fits...
