Sweet! All it needs now is a black string tree....and the required black pick guard screw mod.

Welcome. Definitely the "black pick guard screw" thing.

Has anyone put a Badass bridge on one of these?

Thanks Boris.

Dangerous place. Too many ideas you can get on what to do.

Heck with that, just go to Home Depot. They do have them but take a chrome one with you to compare size/thread.

I put one on yesterday. Direct fit. I just measured from the 12th fret to the saddles on the old bridge to get close on the intonation. Had to use the supplied short screws on the E and A strings. Slight adjustment and it was perfect.
Mine is Hipshot not Omega though.

eBay
A guy in Texas makes them.
I searched for Squire Jaguar pick guard.
Just look for the SS listing.

Sweet! As well as the pickguard screw mod, might want to look into chrome control knobs, regular tele knobs work fine...

I already ordered black dome top metal knobs. Thought about Crome or gold but stuck with black.

I bought one of these recently as my first bass from sweet water and it seems unusually heavy, weighed in at ~8.4 pounds on a kitchen scale, did I get a dud or are the new ones heavier? Depending on what it costs to ship it back I might as well sell it and buy one in person.

That does seem a bit heavy. On the bright side, though, it probably has no neck dive whatsoever.
