If you dont fancy the Mustang look, slap in a strat-style humbucker or a Aero Musicmaster (if you can find one) ![]() To get the bass to a great condition (ie: better than the original) i would suggest the following:Ī couple of CTS pots to replace the 500k mini ones. Oh, the 'competition stripe' is just black electrical tape. Two Squire Bronco bass pickguards - one sprayed orange, 1 stock white. WD Parts Mustang Bass Pickguard (pickup holes have been filed badly to let the pickups in) Original pickup when I find it.įender Mustang Bass pickups (imported from the states)įender Musicmaster Bridge (you will need to drill the bridge for the strings to go through to make it top loading) Red Squire Bronco Bass Body - original bridge, pots and wiring.
