nash Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Fender MIJ '86/87 with SDQP and Badass II and with removed controls. '07 Squier VM. No mods apart from removing controls '94 MIM P-bass Special. This has the MIJ's original pickup and a Duncan Design Jazz pickup. Used to be active but the preamp broke. Also with removed controls Quote
josh3184 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 oddly enough, I think that removing the controls improves the look of fender basses a billion fold and I've never realised that until now... Schmexy! Quote

Tait Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) you don't like controls much, do you ? I like them (except maybe the blue strings lol), especially the black p. you cant beat an all black p with a maple board. What size neck has the P Special got, btw? Is it jazz or Precision, i get the feeling its jazz, right? Edited February 8, 2008 by lwtait Quote

steve Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 black/black/maple P's are my favourite, but the white looks nice too (altho a white pg does it for me). What did you use to blank out the holes for the pots? I'm thinking of going without controls on my Franken P Quote

7string Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Very cool I like the idea of having the minimum amount of controls... Quote
