Not a great picture, but here's my bass, an '08-'09 MIM Standard J (Upgrade):
I ought to swap out the stock black volume/tone knobs at some point, but I don't like barrel knobs so I'll need to change the pots to split-shaft if I want to use, say, some Strat-style ones. Pickguard (white pearl) is obviously not stock; neither are the pickup covers. Replaced stock bridge with a Badass II with slotted saddles. Finish is Lake Placid Blue. And the neck has a satin urethane finish that I really like. D'Addario Chromes give it a lot of thump.

White knobs ...

Thank you so much for that link!! I was beginning to think I'd never find the right ones. You also saved me a bunch of soldering.
Ordering ... right ... now.If you were talking about my bass, I thank you. It makes me smile every time I pick it up.
Todays work,
Dayum!
And derailment without me, ain't I on the derailment pm list?
Forreal, that's just sad that you guys derailed a mod started thread and I wasn't even the cause!
I really like Darkstrike's Squier. It would never have occurred to me to put a tort guard on a black instrument, but I like the combo now that I see it in vivo. Nice!!
Cheers man!
You should see it in real life, its a sweet golden tort that glitters in the light.
I'm suprised how good the white pickup covers look, never would have expected that!Not a great picture, but here's my bass, an '08-'09 MIM Standard J (Upgrade):

I think he may have been referring to the shortscale between the RD and the Ibby. I'm curious as to what that shortscale bass is me own self. Looks very cool and I've been wanting a shorty as well. Maybe an old EB-3
Those Aggie cabs are thicker front to back than I would have expected.
And the bass is backwards!

I know, this is my experimental way of playing: bass backwards. Sounds really percussive.
The Aggie cabs are quite deep indeed and I'm positive that contributes to the immensely deep sound they produce.
