The contrast of the fretboard as well as the neck to that blue of the body along with a white pickguard is VERY beautiful.

Additionally, the non matching headstock puts it all together even more. This is looking killer and even I would love to play it and I do not enjoy Fenders or FSOs!

Great job, enjoy a wonderful looking bass! ! !

New set of GHS Precision Flats (SS) just arrived (silks are purple - but look darker in pic :thumbsup:)
Thx @Jon Moody for the perfect strings for this bass!! :bassist:
Will probably get some Hipshot tuners… :whistle:
(Refinned Squier Mini P w/Fender waterslide cause ‘Squier’ was blemished & disappeared as soon as I ‘buffed’ it) ;)

Very nice! If I didn't already have a nice Daphne blue bass, I'd consider following in your footsteps!

Are there replacement decals for the Squier original?
:D

I don’t think exact replacements are available - probably need to make your own… I happened to have a bunch of ‘Fender’ slide in my parts bin… :whistle::whistle:

Thx Dale… looks like ur SS, mostly, now? I remember ya went to 35” scales for awhile?

Hi John, arthritis has finally invaded my hands, things are getting harder to execute. Short scales and Minis are some what doable, 35” are difficult and 34” work for a few songs, but shorties allow me to play a whole set without pain. Old age is a real pain in the joints……..arrrrrrhhhh!!
