New bass day!

I just sent the payment for a 'Squier Mike Dirnt Precision bass' off of the trusty GAS giver, the TB classifieds!

It has Qp's in it, and every thing else is stock.

I plan to put a darkstar in it, and a maple fingerboard fender or squier tele neck. And possibly a elite pbass pup project along with the darkstar.

I am on a Mac laptop and I don't know how to copy and paste so if somebody could tell me how to I'd post pics! So don't you dare say "No pics no bass" and most likely somebody will anyways!



Edit: And of course my friend has just contacted me to inform you that he has dubbed my bass Mike Oxlong, Cause Mike Dirnt is also a Mike. THe name was a prank on the show on 'nitro circus'... just think about it

There is my baby!!!
 
take the signature and the star thingy off. That'd be my first mod. I would avoid a mirror PG as they are so cool looking UNTIL somebody's hand gets within a foot of them and then they get covered in fingerprints and kind of look bad. Black on Plack is always good. And as much as everyone seems to like Dark stars, I wouldn't in this project. Thats just me.
 
well this is my punk rock bass so the star kinda fits... unless I see it and don't like it, I think I'll keep it.

Well the dark is going to go in the neck position like on a Telecaster bass. I think it would look/sound good, but the PGs for this bass are like only $20 so if I don't like it I'll sell it and get a new pg to cover it up

Here is my sorry photoshop (I used photobucket) of what I want

Minus the maple fingerboard, If anybody could do a better job please feel free to help me out!

The grey dob in between the knobs is a sorry excuse for a knob, btw they are all stacked if somebody is going to do a photoshop. A kill switch would be nice too!
