timhiggins Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I recently picked up a cheap squier bronco and after a set up and some flats have been pleasantly surprised with how decent it is ,i'm now thinking of adding a jazz p.u. near the bridge as im quite happy with the original p.u. as is has anyone tried this ?

Marc S Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 No, haven't tried it. I recently played a gig (hosting an open mic) A guy walked in, with a Squier Jaguar bass. He'd changed the pickups in that One of them was, he said, from a US Jazz, and the body needed some work to accommodate the pickup The other pickup was one he picked up cheaply, and had apparently come from an old 70's'/ 80's Japan copy bass Sounded awesome! I was struck by just how good it was If you do decide to go for it, let us know how you get on I think you've just got to bite the bullet & go for it - at least it's a cheap bass, so you've not too much to lose Best of luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4-string-thing Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I recently modded a Bronco, fitted a Fender Mustang pup, scratchplate and control plate. It looks great and sounds amazing, it's now my main bass.... Definitely worth having a go, they're cheap as chips and readily available....

[/quote] It did to my ears, but I'd be pushed to say how.... maybe just the placebo effect? It's a humbucker though, so I guess that should make some kind of difference?
