Has anyone here had one of these and changed the pickups/electronics? I think it's a 1983 SQ.

I had an old med scale Squire precision of similar era (84/5 I think) and changed pickups and all electronics and it sounded great (I stupidly sold it).

My old JV P-Bass strung with TI-Flats and all original electronics sounds great. This SQ sounds good (strung with DR rounds), not as good as the JV, but it's hard to compare what with them having different strings...

It still does, Ted, especially re-united with those old strings. :)

Sorry, couldn't resist....

I loved the tone of that bass. . . It is my old one isn't it? Nice and warm. Just couldn't get on with the neck!

Yes that's the one!
It's got a fat neck but I like that. I'm fiddling with it's innards! Yuk.
New pots and wiring from KiOgon, and I might try some new pickups to see if they make much difference.
