I call this the Squier P Special CV. I robbed the neck off of this bass to put on a much better bass. The Squier Special is, if you don't know, a full width 5 string with 19mm spacing like the Pro Tone V and the Modified Active J V. The Special was born with the absolute worst electronics. 4 string units in a 5 string. This resulted in a terribly weak B and G. Even for a 4 string, the pickups were abominable. In frustration I put the neck on another bass and stripped this one down. Sat on the shelf for two years. I came across a Mighty Mite neck that is supposedly a "fender licensed neck" for another project. Only issue with that is that Fender, to my knowledge, has never built a 3" heel bass like the 3 I mentioned above. Only Squier. Whatever. Then I bought these great Barts from DrZ on here and i did my first route job fitting them. These are PROPER pickups. The tone is fabulous. I'm going to have a new pickgaurd cut too because I just don't like the way this cheap guard looks surrounding some Bartolini pickups. Probably also going to go active eventually, but I like it just fine passive. The routes came out good....I about had a panic attack doing it. Let me know what you guys think!
