Bassfacist 254. wraub I started doing 300+ numbers while I was still in the 200 block. Ooops. Fixed. I did the best I could to get everybody a deserving number. If I missed you, or I didn't give you a number when you think you should have one, let me know. Since it was such a long time since the last update, I included everybody. From now on, Tricked Out Squiers need to meet some qualifications. Swapping out a pickguard isn't going to make the cut.
No number necessary. My 95 Fender "Squier Series". Replaced the one piece pickguard/control plate and strat-style knobs with a 3-ply b/w/b guard, metal control plate ad black P knobs. Also replaced the bent tin bridge with a black high-mass eBay bridge. She's my #1.
This has become my go-to bass at home, and I bring it to band practice often as well. VM Squier body, G & L ASAT Bass neck, custom pickguard, SD Hot Jazz pickups. {} My only fretless is a Squier as well. Didn't find any better pic for some reason - it shows my home practice amp & cab. CV Squier body, bridge, and pickguard, ESP 400 Series neck, EMG Select pickups, CertainBass Varitone circuit. {}
{} Changed the neck with my other VM and de fretted it, rewired to volume-balance-tone, made a new pickguard and put on a Hipshot bridge. {} With the neck of my other VM, put in Hanson Chi-Sonic pickups, rewired to volume-balance-tone, made a new pickguard and put on a Hipshot bridge.
Ok Ok, so I said I didn't plan to gig my squiers and I did... I said I wasn't going to touch the wiring and I did... Then I added a hipshot detuner but maintained that I had no plans to change the pickups... I just dropped in an SD quarter pounder... I just need to stop talking about what I'm not going to do because I end up being a liar! I've got a couple new TOSs in the works too...
Part 3! In with my Custom Squier VM Mustang -Nordstrand NM4 pickup (customized covers) -1/2" Hipshot Ultralite clover tuners -Fender "F" plate -MIJ Fender Mustang bridge plate -CTS 250k pots -Switchcraft jack -Custom Birdseye Maple pickguard -Custom Birdseye Maple bell knobs {} {} {} {} {} {} I'm still on the fence about selling it. It's going to have to take a good offer to let her go.
Subbed! And I'm posting my Matt Freeman Signature bass just for you to see! Curtis Novak 70's style pup, vintage wiring, new pots, new cap, chrome covers and d'addario chromes...although right now I'm playing rounds. Very nice bass...play it all the time! {}
My Squier JB VM fretless: . Black control plate; . Black knobs by Condor; . Black tunners by Guitarfetich; . Black straplocks by Guitar Jones; . CTS pots 250k; . Black string retainers by Warmoth; . Black economy bridge by Bass Part Resource; . Pickups Nordstrand Big Singles.
It's a very good instrument for the price, of course. And with Nordstrand the tone was excellent. I'm very happy with the result.
