I bought a Squier Sonic Bronco Bass when they were on sale recently. I had a TV Jones Thunderblades pickup laying around, but couldn't find a pickguard for this bass and a humbucker, so I made one today. I put chrome flats on it, too.

Ooh,how’s it sound with the Thunderblade? Been tempted to grab one of these as a mod platform after playing a pink (coral?) one at GC. Don’t currently have a short-scale, which seems like Talkbass negligence. 
I used a jigsaw and an oscillating spindle sander and just freehanded the bevel on the latter.
It's good. Thumpy but not muddy.Ooh,how’s it sound with the Thunderblade? Been tempted to grab one of these as a mod platform after playing a pink (coral?) one at GC. Don’t currently have a short-scale, which seems like Talkbass negligence.
The Bronco has really been making some names with the new colors and slight upgrades.
I think they are great and amazing modding platforms.
Looks amazing dude!

I think this is why I haven’t pulled the trigger on one as a mod platform yet… the “stock” one I tried at GC felt and sounded nice enough that modding it would seem kinda pointless.
GC also had a used (pre-Sonic) Bronco, but by the time you change out the crappy tuners and 2-saddle bridge, you could just buy a brand new Sonic that’s already fixed those issues.
