If I could have my own signature bass - this would be it!

[Painy]

Earlier this year my very lovely wife bought me my Squier VM P5 and I instantly fell in love with the way it played. Despite the humble price tag the neck straight away felt more comfortable in my hand than any other bass I've owned - which includes some pretty high end stuff.
Since then I've made a couple of slight modifications and now for me this is pretty much the perfect bass. If Fender ever start doing signature model basses for just anybody (like Adam Clayton for example ) then this would be the one for me.
Firstly, yes there's a Fender logo on the headstock but not looking to get into that one here other than to say I've anyways loved the 70s style logo with the curved "precision bass" text so that's what I've used.
Secondly, as much as I've really wanted to go from active to passive basses I've come to the conclusion that active just works for me better so when an old, slightly knackered Dan Armstrong Yellow Humper active circuit surfaced - and once KiOgon had worked his magic repairing and modding it for me - I installed that in the bass. Very simple controls on this. An on/off toggle switch which allows the bass to work in passive if the battery dies and then another 3 way toggle which gives either bass boost, bass and treble boost or a flat boost which just adds punch and presence to the sound.
The last thing I wanted to add was chrome bridge and pickup covers - just because I love the look on a sunburst precision.
This was the trickiest part to sort out as chrome covers (other than the Marcus Miller jazz pup cover) don't seem to exist for a 5 string. After a pretty extensive internet search I found an eBay seller in China but they wouldn't ship to the UK. Fortunately a Basschatter came to the rescue so special thanks to OddBass65. I was able to get them shipped from China to his sister in Florida who then - as I understand it - gave them to him in New York when he met her there on holiday. He then bought them back home with him to the Republic of Ireland and posted them to me.
Now the pickup cover is actually for a jazz so doesn't completely cover the pup and the bridge cover sits slightly further back than it really should but overall I'm more than happy with the end result.
And here it is:
