Fender La Cabronita Precision Bass
- Thread starter theNecatoR
- Start date
- here are the rest:
Installed Chromes on my Cabronita and I really like the sound it puts out but I'm curious about how a set of Labella 760fl's would sound?? Any opinions? Also I've noticed that this thread has really slowed down. Nobody likes their "Cab" anymore? No one else buying them? Just wondering.
I love mine put a fresh set of chromes on yesterday. If you would have asked about the LaBellas a few days ago I had a set I took off a bass I sold but they are now on a different bass. I imagine they would probably sound pretty good though they usually do on pretty much anything IMO.
I bet that with all of the photoshop - people are thinking more of a Custom'Nita
I'm thinking of building a Boracchonita
Finally found someone gigging with the bass. Beautiful blue finish.
As the father of 2 kids under 4, I find that particularly funny.
Way to go Jake!!!! Rockin' the Cabronita. Can anyone tell what kind of rig he's runnin' it thru?? LOL.
A couple of coconuts lashed together with some bamboo! My kids watch this show too, we love Sharky and Bones! Those dudes know how to rock!
I've always dreamed of building a '54 P-bass, but substituting the single coil with a guitar-sized humbucker, like TV Jones' ThunderTron, or Rio Grande's Pitbull. I'd REALLY like to mount a Tele bass humbucker there, but I'm not sure there is enough room. There would be a push/pull pot to tap the coils, of course.
I still have something like that in my mental pipeline, but if I decide to get lazy, I just might spring for this instead!
Time to start listening to ZZ Top's "Eliminator" album, I think...

I just bought a Cabronita PBass that should be here in a couple of days. I plan on using Chromes on it. I'm hoping it sounds as good as it looks. I also bought a Fender Tweed case for it.
Has anyone tried this? What is the tone like? How does the playing feel? It seems like it would play like a P Bass...
I own one in 2 tone sunburst. I had a Squier VM TB bass with the big humbucker at the neck. The Cabronita reminds me of that tone except way cleaner. No mud at all. It's beefy and a little gritty. The neck is a bit bigger than my Squier CV 50 pbass but you get used to it pretty quickly. I love the slab body. It plays like a Pbass on steroids!!
tribbledaniel, thanks man. I'm looking into getting one for a little blues/southern rock project.
I hadn't seen this thread before. I like the look of this bass. Unlike most, I really like the way the bridge looks. But then, I play mainly a Ric, so I like massive, silly bridges.
I prefer rosewood fretboards, though.

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.
Yeah, I think that would look cool as hell. I've always thought that oldschool style P basses would look better without the guard, but apparently that's sacrilege on TB.
It fits the look and the tone! If they'd make it with the headstock reversed it would look exactly like something Dusty Hill would play. And I would've bought all 3 colors!!! Good luck with your project.
I removed the guard but there's a cnc hole there!?! I'm trying ti figure out something to cover it up. Any suggestions??
Smiley face sticker?
Anyone have a good recording of one? The one on the Fender site has grit on it the entire time. I want to hear it clean.
