Tricked Out Squier Club Part 3

I've been seeing some really nice Squiers lately. I'm becoming more & more convinced that all I need is a pimped Squier & it will get me through. A Squier CVP & a Bill Lawrence or some aftermarket pup. Or a 50s P with an SD Antiquity II. Seriously, I have no business playing an expensive instrument.

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.

Cool basses. Cool bridges. Reminds me of Lakland bridges.
 
I just scored this today, with case for $120! I think it's an '09, but definitely built in indonesia. Plastic still on the pickguard!

Can anyone suggest what tuners fit well with this bass? I have never really modded anything, but this is a great place to start!

what's wrong with the ones on it?

they are 1/2 inch standard fender tuners (mim, hwy 1). you could go with hipshot ultralites, thats what im getting.
