Deedee Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hi all Toying with trying out a Hipshot Bass Xtender on my Squier VM P 2011. Or possibly my MIJ 70's Reissue P. Does anybody know which model I'd need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah I was just wanting to check if anyone had fitted one to a VM Squier as they are not listed. The BT10 for Japanese Fenders should obviously be ok for the 70's reissue. Do I assume that a BT7 should suffice for the Squier? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) I know from recently fitting one to 90's MIM Jazz there can be slight differences in the layout of the screw holes. Makes no sense to me but 90s MIM machine heads are slightly different in measurement to other fender direct replacement machine heads. No experience of the Squires but you could potentially have the same issue so you may need to do some minor drilling to fit the xtender. I had my set up guy do mine because I'm useless with these things. Edited June 29, 2017 by uk_lefty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'll keep an eye out in the market place 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 email Hipshot, they'll tell you. They sent me 5 allen wrenches for the teeny tiny saddle screws on a Hipshot bridge I bought used a year earlier. They sent em free from the USA to Oz. With that sort of customer service I'm sure they will steer you right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
