here is my squier mij.
 
This is an Affinity series P bass I got for $100. a little over a year ago. I have modified it a bit. Old SD pick up I got used for $30. I shielded the cavities, Replaced the 500k pots with CTS 250k pots and an orange drop cap. A Hipshot de-tuner and a Badass II bridge that came from my GL Jazz. and ofcourse the pickgaurd.;)

This bass played real nice from the start, I just didn't like the sound. Thats why I modded it. Now I love this pollished turd! I gig with it.:bassist:

Here's a question about my '87 MIK Squier Bullet 1 bass - is there another Squier that has such a fat neck? Width at nut is 1.75", with at 12th fret is 2 1/4" and thickness at first fret is 30/32". That's at least as big as an early Precision. Anyone else seen a neck like that on a Squier? I'm not complaining, just awestruck. I didn't even realize it was that big. No wonder I had such a hell of a time with it when I first got it. I was used to Jazz necks.
 
I just recently got a beat up 1984-87 MIJ Squier Jazz in Arctic White -- aging nicely.

I've got parts coming in the mail for it right now to get it the way I want: Fender Vintage Noiseless pup's and a tort pickguard. Also, it needed a couple new parts like a new input jack and a set of new bridge saddles.

It sounded great before I took it all apart, I cant wait to get it all back together with the new additions.

Will take pics when it's done.
