I still have my first student 1984 Squier B-34, It now has an Allparts fretless neck, EMG's (from 1986) and Hipshot hardware - will post pics soon!
My new AJDIV next to my old AJDV.
I've already put in an Obp-3, and ultralights on the V.
The IV is going to get an Obp-3, emg sj5's and a black tusq nut very soon. This is the before shot. Thanks to TB classifieds for the EMGs and Obp! Both are drop in.
Sorry to ask this so late in the game, but how can I check what my member number is in this club?
Read read read.
Club numbers are so much meh. To me they make no sense and are of no use except as initial recognition by the fearless club leader.
After that wave of the scepter, you're a member, case closed.

This club has no numbers... See it as this. We buy Squires and end up spending more on tricking out than the bass (and guitar) is worth. This seems ******** to many of our friends, family musicians in crime and other members. ******** is a 'not so nice' word. Being 'Special' is more P.C. So see us as the 'Special' class at our Talkbass Highschool. Everyone is #1 in this class
I don't care what anyone says, I love turning my Squier's into a crazy modded Frankenstein beast. It's so much fun. And never a waste of my money or time.

Well said. I bought a Squier for $55 bucks and made it my own Steve Harris clone. I've put a good chunk of money into it but man it's a killer bass.This club has no numbers... See it as this.

I have a squire body that some fool flush mounted a Dunlop strap lock in the upper horn. The screw is destroyed there is absolutely no getting it out. It has to come out to fill the hole with a dowel so it can be refinished, any suggestions?
I absolutely love modding Squiers and other "cheap" basses.
Especially when they end up sounding better than basses that are worth 3x more.
I have an old P-bass lying around that I might Frankenstein.
Now, wolfkeller, wow. That is... that is deep in there. Jeez.
You're planning on ripping the whole thing out, right?

Yeah I need to get it out of there and then fill the entire hole theres another hole just like it on the back but I've done it before using dowel pins and wood filler
OK guess I need a super drill. So far trashed 3 bits, broke 1 screw driver and 1 pair of needle nose. I am good with tools and handy so this is nuts. I swear these screws always strip out but try drilling one out! Its going down!!!
I don't know because its hard to tell scale but I would be incline to leaving the stupid thing in provided it is flush or slightly countersunk, drilling the center hole a little bit larger, doweling it's center and screwing the strap pin into the dowel. Basically having a steel collar around the dowel and strap pin and filling the gouged out sections and refinish it...but that's me.
I'm starting to think about hammering it in a bit filling the voids and covering it. It principal now
