because i see so many nice one here so now i know i defenitely have to upgrade mine.I'm sorry what?
Do you mean setup like how your bass is adjusted or like all of the equipment you use? It can be shocking what a good tech can do by leveling frets and properly adjusting your bass. If you mean your gear then yes, there is a TON of eye candy on this forum. There are also quite a few posts about how great of a sound and playing experience people get out of inexpensive stuff. Don't get too much bass envy, just make sure you're happy with the way your stuff sounds and feels. Sure I'd love a Fedora & a couple Ken Smiths but my stuff sounds great and does what I need it to and that's just fine with me!
I second that, I just fell head over heels again for my Yamaha since putting flats on it. A little change can reignite the spark. I should be sleeping by now. Cause I work early but I can’t leave it alone. LolDo you mean setup like how your bass is adjusted or like all of the equipment you use?

I added a P-bass to the collection.
One day I will get one. I had a line on an old Greco looked like from 60-70s for 50 bucks but guy was not responding to emails. It woulda been sweet. The guy had no clue what he was selling it had the brand sanded off but the old tuners gave it away. Sold In about an hour or so.
NBD! That Antique Olive just wouldn't let me go. I traded 3 basses at GC. I might have gotten more selling on CL, but I just didn't want the hassle. I have a black pickguard and black screws, along with LaBella String Through Flats on the way.
I also received a Squier 2008 51 reissue body from a cat on this forum. I just need to find the right neck for it.

Love em both! BTW an MIM Cabronita neck or Dirnt will fit that LPB SCPB just ducky. I used Cabronita neck, tuners, and bridge from an MIM for mine. Enjoy that Am Pro!
Good to know. I found out the hard way that the Squier Cabronita's and Mike Dirnt's don't work on the Squier 50's CV bodies.
The MIM neck fit perfectly...used another MIM Cabronita neck, tuners, bridge for a RW Dirnt parts build, fit perfectly as well.
I'd love to get a real(MIM) Mike Dirnt. I have 2 Squier Mike Dirnt's (w/ Active EMG's) and love them. Do you know anything about that Stock Pickup that comes in the MIM Mike Dirnt ? Is it true that the only way to get that P Pickup is to buy a the Bass ?
Thanks
Eddie

Just put a mint green pickguard on my Sonic Gray Jazz Pro. Looks tasty, in my view. Pics don’t do it full justice.
Just found this forum and love it. Especially love that many are mint green fans.
Cheers!

Stratosphere had a couple of RW Dirnt's in maple the other day...I think that neck is going to be hard to find. I've been looking.
I did see those, but I'm not sure I want to pay $400 for "road worn". If there's any road wearin' to do, I'll do it myself.
I think those will be around for awhile. I'll have time to look more. The project doesn't have to be done tomorrow.
