So I picked up this crazy looking thing today for next to nothing

[MattB88]

It's a Japanese Squier Bullet made in '84. The best squier's ever made. Better than some American models today in my opinion. It's been modified with a 70's Fender Tele bass humbucker and a Leo Quan BAII bridge. I don't know who did the funky finish but it seems like it has a good story behind it lol. It needed a great cleaning and setup but it cleaned up nice. Picked it up for 75 bucks!

That's awesome. The pickup alone is worth 3x that. The paint is cool in a picture, does it look that good in person?

I know. I couldn't believe I got it so cheap. Yes it is. These were just quick unedited pictures I just took real quick.

 

[Buzz E]

I want one!

Awesome, the paint is one of those things I wouldn't do myself but would appreciate on a find like this. It just adds to the character of the bass.

Cool score on the cheap.

I totally agree. Especially at the price point.

 

[Oren Hudson]

Very nice buy. Agree with Eric ER on the paint.

Looks like a homebrew Billy Sheehan

I would rock the snot out of that as is.

Great score.

I plan on it

 

[Kukulkan61]

Cool!!! I'll give you 100 bucks for it....

So technically you bought a Badd Ass bridge with a Bass attached to it...

Haha basically man!

 

[BAG]

That is so cool. As mentioned above, I'd never be game enough to do a paint job like that but I'd definitely buy it at that price and rock it!

 

[mc900ftj]

Nice! So I assume her name is "Carmelita"?

 

[Buzz E]

Was that a pawnshop find?

 

[D M C]

I love it. Nice find.

 

[Dabndug]

Wow - those basses have great necks and were astonishingly well made for the price point. The mods are pretty tasteful compared to one I have seen with a body refin in astroturf! Rock on!

So it would appear. I don't know the story behind but would love to find out.
