Fender/squier... basses they could make.

[Tommygunn]

I think squier had a p5 at one time

 

[LCW]

If they filled in the frets I would bid...

I figured sell the pedal for 40$ with it , i can fill frets with binding done it before. My friend has a gold anodized aluminum guard that i could add and it would look good, probably need quarter pounders tho.

Correct i think a pro tone one and a affinity one.

 

[Eilif]

Not quite correct...
They had precision bodies, and the necks were pretty wide, but they were equipped with dual J pickups. Squire has never made a 5 string pbass with a P pickup.

 

[jmain]

^ right. But I think the protone had dual p-ish pickups in soapish shells.

 

[bassist4dalord]

Yeah. What I'm saying is straight-up passive, single P-pickup, 5-string bass, with the neck style found on the MIA P5.

Maple fretboard, I'm there! Even RW I would give it a whirl.

 

[Tommygunn]

I wish there were some more P color options..

Yes!

 

[LCW]

i may get a bronco for 60$ , i will make it bad ass.

 

[ChronicPyromaniac]

I'd by a Squier Hoppus if they made it in either white or HOT pink (I think the shell pink is ugly.) Then the necks would be promptly replaced with J necks with blocks and binding. Yeah, I could rock a few of those. Maybe have a half-dozen or so.

One cost-cutting measure? White pickguards instead of pearloid.

For sure squier has all the parts to make hoppus squiers.

They can use a squier standard series P bass neck , a squier standard series J bass body, and duncan designed pick ups just like in the wentzs it would be really easy for them to make this bass.


Why dont they? i think fender does not want some teens buying a 300$ squier , instead they want to sell them a 900$+ fender.

The best time to have made a Hoppus Squier was when the Delonge Squier was still around. Now that they've missed that boat, they've decided to do the "next best thing" with the Wentz Squier, which is pretty much Wentz copying Hoppus' design, except with a P body.

 

[SamWebsterbell]

+1 to a Squier Urge. (Too lazy to quote)

I wanna try one onf the urges, they look so silly with the 3 or 4 pups lol too many for one bass!

But would love to try it!

For me, it's high time that Fender designed something brand new. A whole new model line that isn't based on 40-50 year old designs.

A radical new design would be good!

Unfortunately, whenever companies like Fender or Gibson - known for their iconic designs - comes up with something new, it either gets ignored or flounders around in mediocrity until they discontinue it for five more variations of an old design.

Squier did come up with a hit with the Squier '51 guitar - only for Fender to pull the plug on production when it hit its peak.

Well many models have come and gone... like the harris pbass. The delonge could come back

delonge plays gibson 333's now and has both gibson amd epiphone sigs , thus they cant as he has an endorsement deal.............even though his fender was way better.

Aw poopie! I still want my Hoppus squier!

 

[Darkstrike]

They need to make a Delux Active V with a skinny as funk neck, seriously.

 

[funkout5]

Right amp/strings/player/pickups a pbass can do anything. I'm sorry dark it's a way of life

P's can do anything J's can do better... God I love this song.



I wouls buy that

this is the kind of statment that reminds me you're 13 years old.
