This came out on the used market really cheap. I couldn't resist it. Too cooI! I shielded it and changed the pickups for a pair from a sire bass I had laying around.
It came out sounding great! No need the do any other mods to it!
The squire pickups mesured 5 ohms and the Sire pickups 7 ohms. I was going the remove the pickups anyway because of the shielding-job. The Squier pickups sounded fine, but were a bit weak.
The tuners were supriseingly good. They're no hipshots, but i'd use them live.
