The body and bridge are from a squier.

- No-name jazz neck from eBay (haven't put any decal on there)
- plywood pickguard I made for an earlier incarnation of my p-bass
- EMG pup

Who thinks I should put a b/w/b guard on instead? Can't decide...

bwb guard for sure!

And with the original dome knobs!

Wooden pickguards remind me of old fashioned mobile home walls.

the dome knobs won't go on the emg pots! that's the onlh reason I ever got the black ones, as they were cheap enough for me to feel okay about grinding down the insides to get them on in the first place!

think you're right about the guard. Thanks for the input

Me toying with a classic vibe 60s P body and 50s P neck , it would fit great if i routed the pocket on the body a tad , but am to lazy so I am selling it.

Loos cool tho!

Really.

A question to all of you Squier modifiers, especially the ones with singlecoil pickups in jazz basses: Have you shielded the bass with coppertape or some similar material? How big of an improvement has it been to eliminate noise?

I have a Squier fretless VM jazz that I quite like, but would like to make it less noisy and was wondering if the original shielding (if there is any, haven't even looked into the cavities yet) is inadequate.

The VM fretted had shielding paint in it. My SDAJV does too. But I don't doubt some shielding would help a bit.

That, or noiseless pickups (like the Sadsowskys that I have in mine).

My Squier workhorse! This is my main bass and I love it! I just have to personalize my basses!

Is that a skateboard in the background?

 

[ERIC31]

Nope...it's my case...but my board is to the left out of camera range! =)

 

[pedrodelawasp]

bwb guard for sure!

And with the original dome knobs!

the bwb guard is on its way.

Anyone else got experience with the emg pups and having trouble getting control knobs to fit? I guess I could carefully drill the insides very slightly wider?

P.S. Have a custom decal for the headstock too

How much did that neck set u back?

How much did that neck set u back?

The neck was 300 $. I got it from "The Tone Yard" on Ebay. JP the salesman is a really nice guy. He´s on TB too.

Of course I had to spend extra money for shipping, customs dues and taxes, but shipping within the US is free, if I recall it right.

If you'd like 7.5G + of online storage - for free - then use Picasa 3 and don't set you pixs here as an attachment::

Picasa 3 Here

You have to upload your stuff anyway - so why not put them somewhere safe and if you need more space, just open another GMail account for another 7.5GB+ of storage.

Will Fender P bass pickguard fit 2010 Squier Standard P basses?

 

[mathewcanhaz]

I don't know If mine counts as a squier anymore. But it started as a standard series j bass then I put in the emg j set pickups and pots and then I found a 99 fender USA STD j bass body and installed the emgs pickguard control plate and neck with all the hardware onto the new body the only thing I'm waiting on is a new deluxe fender bridge thats in the mail. Let me know if I'm in
