Hi all, heres my squier p bass special, have put some seymour duncans on it and very recently put some flats on it, am thinking of putting on some ashtray pickup covers on it

 

[Dee_01]

Does anyone have any ideas for which bridge I should use as a replacement? I noticed that my stock Squier bridge is not positioned correctly -- it's too far over to the E side of the neck, plus the strings aren't placed evenly over the pickup poles, so I'm thinking I'll put a new bridge on there which I have to drill new holes for. This way I can position it properly. I would loved to have put a Badass II on there but I would have to use the existing holes if I went with that option. I could really do with some help on this one.

So far I have looked for a Gotoh 206 but I can't find a chrome one anywhere. Help!

Thanks, but I checked those out already. Neither stock the 206, only the 201.

I would call them. Often vendors can source out stuff they don't list on their site.

 

[Dee_01]

I won't phone, but I might shoot them an email. I don't live in the USA so it'd be best to go easy on the phone bill! Cheers.

Dont have any pics yet but a few weeks back I traded my Squire affinity p-bass towards a Squire Vintage Modified Jazz Bass.

man, i hate my squier p-bass, all it does is waste space in my room, the new squier jazzez look ****ing incredible though, my only problem is that i doubt they have any manufacturing quality at all.

 

[Nappa]

My Squire P bass (next to my SX). I love this bass...its just a plain ole affinity series, but plays sooooo nicely. I put on a black pickguard (originally white). Mods to come soon to it.

That squier look just like mine, except the yours doesn't have the white outline on the pickguard (maybe it does, but i cannot tell). Is the fretboard on yours maple or rosewood? If its rosewood its much lighter (color-wise) then mine.

Give it to someone who'll appreciate it, then. I volunteer. I'll jump on that grenade for ya. That's just the kind of guy I am.

Nappa, not sure as to what kind of fretboard it has. Whatever the Affinity series uses. The pickguard doesnt have the white line on it because it was orginally a white pg that I sprayed. It'll do until I go buy a black one. Hey while we're at it, do they make the chrome piece that goes under the knobs with a modified pg for this bass (precision)...like the way they are on jazz basses? (see my SX next to it). I like the way that looks.

My Squier P-bass is a great instrument I don't care what anyone says. It hums less than my American Jazz bass. It is also for sale. $75. I can't tell the difference in sound between the squier and my dads '77 fender P. With good strings and a decent amp (anything ampeg for fender) it is a solid performer.

Here's mine.

It's a bad MF-er.

Sign me up! Here I am with my black '84 MIJ Squier P-bass with a Fender re-issue pickup:

Can I join? This picture was taken about 3 years ago back in grade 9 during a school play. I'm gonna take new pictures once I get a new neck and new paintjob on it.

It's a Squier JV from 82/83.

 

[steamthief]

That's it, Captain, tort on black! I need to tort up my black Squier P in the worst way, get that Geezer vibe.

I've got a "big Fender, little Squier" model made in Korea in 1992 that sounds huge. Hotter pups than either my SR4 or MIA P/J, and it thumps with some Chrome flats on it. It's also been getting the most playing time over the last month.

Pots and input jack starting to crap out, so I got some new ones to make it perfect again. Original tuners and bridge holding up fine.

Squier bashers can eat a bag.

Sorry guys, I just got back from a teaching at a week-long leadership course...

The list will be kept up for the next little while...

Very nice!
I'll be an owner of my very own GREEN Squier P-bass soon, and I was thinking of switching out the pickguard. White Pearloid will look nice I've heard....

But it's weird how Squiers have 14-hole pickguards by default. Is it possible to put on 13-hold Fender pickguards somehow? (w/o drilling into my bass)
