Fender La Cabronita Precision Bass

[hover]

I removed the guard but there's a cnc hole there!?! I'm trying ti figure out something to cover it up. Any suggestions??

I'd suggest a pickguard.

LOL!!

I received a Fender 51 pbass bridge cover today. Tried it over the bridge of the Cabronita and it does not cover it completely. The part showing is the nameplate where it says Fender and of course the ball ends. Not sure if I should install anyways. Any thoughts?

Got a pic I don't think it will look right with bridge hanging out maybe somebody makes a custom cover that is a little longer.

I wonder if the vintage style threaded bridge would be a direct replacement for the stock block of chrome. Then a standard '51 cover would certainly fit.

Threaded bridge at Allparts

And this is only my aesthetic opinion, but this bass screams vintage threaded bridge no cover, but seriously, it looks so hot stock any mod is just for giggles anyway.

You know what my grandpa said: "If you want to install a 51 PBass cover on a Cabronita bridge, you have to show some balls"... Or something like that, I mean, when he was not talking about Koreans.

Has anyone taken the bridge off yet? I mean, even for a moment? Is it actually as heavy as a badass, is it also made of solid brass?

 

[tribbledaniel]

What about a Jazz bass bridge cover? Or would that look totally off!?!

I have often wondered how a jazz ashtray would look on any P bass...I love the longer more stylized J cover with the big F on it.

 

[tribbledaniel]

Maybe our friend who did all the other mock-ups could indulge us one last time? I'm just not sure that there's enough space between the ball ends and the edge of the guitar? There's about 1/8 of an inch.

pulled the trigger on a black one, can't wait 'till she get's here...!

I saw that on a P bass on EBay a few weeks ago
Looked stupid
IMHO

I tried a Cab at a local shop yesterday.
Did not have time to plug it in.
Loved the neck profile, and feel.
I want to g back and plug it in.
GAS'in pretty bad

Cool bass.

I'm the one who did the mockups, and a Jazz Bass Ashtray on a P Bass is (for me) a No-no.

But I did for you anyway:

I feel dirty

 

[mr.mow]

Can someone pls buy one of these and return it to musicians friend so I can buy the goddamn thing?! (Free international shipping and they only ship 'used' goods)!!!

Thanks for doing the mockup. I'm in agreement with you. Does not fit the look. I think I'll just leave like that for now.

 

[jweber76]

Agreed. Sorry for making everyone uncomfortable!
