    Out of curiosity, has anyone bought the Squier Pete Wentz bass and done anything interesting (in terms of covering it) with the repulsive bat/heart thing that is right above the bridge?

    Why not just get a plain black Squier then?

    Some people appear to like the design and adore Pete Wentz. If you're not in one of those camps, I don't see why you would consider it. Maybe I'm missing something.

    The pastor at my church glued a big goatse "Receiver" on top of it.

    Ah yes, clearly a Uranusarian. A very rare sect indeed.

    My parents bought me this bass back in 09 as a bday present. Granted it was my 30th. haha But, it's an alright bass for the money. I know that design is awful. I am actually thinking about keeping the body and electronics. Those are actually good. The neck I absolutely hate. So, one of these days I'm gonna get a different neck for it. On a side note, I don't care what anybody thinks of Wentz. He is doing what all of us here love to do and gets paid really well.

    Dunno, I'd rather be the broke me than Pete Wentz.

    True, although I find they are very open to all comers.

    Because the Wentz neck is really sweet. J-width, rolled figerboard edges. You don't find that on most cheaper Fender stuff.

    Wrap the body in embossed leather. It'd be sweet.

    Wasn't it also one of the few maple FBs available on Squier basses for a while until the VMs and CVs came out?
