Never thought I'd get a squier Now modded!

[maxoges]

This came out on the used market really cheap. I couldn't resist it. Too cooI! I shielded it and changed the pickups for a pair from a sire bass I had laying around. 

It came out sounding great! No need the do any other mods to it!

The squire pickups mesured 5 ohms and the Sire pickups 7 ohms. I was going the remove the pickups anyway because of the shielding-job. The Squier pickups sounded fine, but were a bit weak.

The tuners were supriseingly good. They're no hipshots, but i'd use them live.

Looks like a Squier Paranormal Jazz '54 to me:

That’s really nice! I love the old early P scratch shape on pretty much anything, including a Jazz it now seems. Good score!

Not sure how that's gone under my radar!

 

Now I really want a black/gold pickguard one with cream DiMarzio Model Js. For no good reason.

that sounds reasonable.

That’s screaming out for a headstock mod in my eyes. I think a Tele shape would be perfect.

Maybe a warmoth neck in the future. It has to be really special because there's nothing wrong with the existing neck, other than the logo.

I bought one not long after they came out in a transparent white finish. Made in China if I remember right and it was flawless but a bit heavy. The black one is tasty.

That bass now has a metal pickguard  . The new one does sound good.

Yeah .. recon this would work 👍

Attatched another neck. Modded a pbass neck.

Put on a new logo today. First try printing and applying a water slide decal.
