I can't decide if cringe spindle or waffle sprocket is/are the best things I've seen written today. Spoiled.

No, but I'm open minded.

Totes squinch bruv. Feelz.

OK. I didn't read any of these posts. If you don't feel like you're loud enough, play more quietly so that the people who really care about the.. "quality"... of the music.. will listen harder to what you're playing. And when they do, well, that's a special thing. It's like whispering to make sure that people actually listen to what you have to say. Dynamic.

Like, being a bassist leaves you (us) with few options. Either you want to make a massive noise or the noise you end up making isn't massive enough. Be picky. (Be massive).

What's the most squarnchy ting you ever did hear?

Incredibly happy with Tom and my dealings with him. As if the swathes of previous feedback weren't enough I can confirm that you can be assured of a pleasant transaction with this top class BC'er! Many thanks, Theo.

Thanks for your input; I've measured and they are 18mm at the neck pickup, more like 19 at the bridge.

I see what you did there.... 😅

Haha! Thanks. This one's been gigged a heck of a lot. The pickups desperately needed swapping when I first acquired it. In regards to the.. ahem... slight cosmetic blemish.. I can only assume someone trod on it whilst it was in its hardcase. The most interesting feature of this bass was a major factor in why I bought it - the cheat lines on the side 🧐

Thanks muchly, although I will definitely be looking to upgrade the pickups. Oddly enough, in my 15+ years of playing this is the first Fender/Squier I've ever owned. I've had plenty of copies however, including my trusty '70s Ibanez Fretless P which I bought on this site a number of years ago (upgraded with newer bridge and Basslines quarter pounders). This also needs a new pickguard... 😒

That was my initial thought precisely.... 😁 Always thought white pickguards look a little tacky.

Hehe, I can't be sure but it was sold as 'metallic champagne'. To be fair it looks far better overall since I gave it a thorough clean.. never understood why people don't do so when trying to sell stuff on. Cream pickups would totally set it off though... 🤔

Just thought I'd drop this here; grabbed this Squier Precision Standard 5 off Fleabay today. Someone's added a Fender decal and curiously it has J pickups but I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces. What I'd really like to know is where I might be able to get hold of a black or tort pickguard for this configuration? Also, any recommendations for decent budget 5 string J p'ups?

Hi all, I have just bought this dandy Squier Precision Standard 5'er (though it has a Fender decal) and was looking to replace the pickups. Upon browsing this forum I saw Entwistle were recommended as a decent budget brand however they don't appear to make a 5 string set of J pickups. As such I was hoping to enlist the ever reliable BC community for a bit of advice? Regards, Theo.

Bought a K & K BassMax pickup. Transaction and shipping was rapid with excellent comms throughout. Buy with confidence!
