Upgrades for VM 5-er P Bass.

My main go to has been my squier VM 5 string P for a while. When I bought it, it had already been upgraded with hipshot tuners and American pickups.

It's due a string change, so whilst I'm getting it setup, I'm thinking about treating it to an upgrade.

Looking for ideas for bridges and whether a preamp would be worth doing, or upgrading to a Kiogon loom (think I've spelt that right?!?!)

Any ideas welcome :D

I had the self same bass. Great build quality and we'll worth tweaking. I changed the pots, jack and cap to better quality ones, same as John, Kl0gon uses. I went for a 0.1uf capacitor at his suggestion. Bleeds a bit more treble off and gives it a real Motown vibe.

Only other thing was a Wilkinson Vintage bridge. Bit more substantial than the Squier one and the brass saddles look cool.

Absolutely cracking bass after only a small bit of tinkering.
