My old Squier VI was my only guitar in my current band. I frankensteined together another VI from different parts to have a backup at gigs, but...
There are a few things I can't get quite right and on our first gig a string broke on the Squier in the first 30 seconds and I had to play the gig with the Frankenstein and it was just too different to simply work in the whole setup.
So? I sold a guitar, bought another Sunburst VM Bass VI and here it is:
Mods already done:
- Shimmed the neck with a credit card
- Put a 9.5" radius Mustang bridge on
- new fancy pickguard
- nice knobs
Mods awaiting:
- 5 way Strat switch with Herad control plate (waiting till in stock again).
- 500k audio taper volume and 250k linear taper tone pots (already in the mail).
- bone nut (wanted an axemasters but they don't ship bone nuts overseas anymore).
- Improving the trem by filing, rounding and polishing the pivot/knife edge (forgot to do so when I assembled the bass).
I'm really happy with the new one! Played it at the practice today and it will be nearly identical to the green one once the pots are installed. And it looks cool! Yay!
