Members Scary Bill Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 Nice bass. Do you want to get some black jazz knobs? I think they look nice. I got rid of those chrome knobs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noise... Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'd be all over that bass if it had a pickguard. I just don't like the lack of pickguard look on a Fender guitar or bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zebra Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'd be all over that bass if it had a pickguard. I just don't like the lack of pickguard look on a Fender guitar or bass. I'd slap a pickguard on it too. It's something about that awkward control plate. Without the plate it works, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willsellout Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have to say I love everything about that bass; especially the knobs. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mellobud Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 OP-sweet bass man...I like the knobs. Yours has great grain...way better than the grain on mine. If you have any questions about upgrades PM me. I've tweaked everything but the tuners...I'm keeping my eyes open for some decent ones on the cheap. I'd be all over that bass if it had a pickguard. I just don't like the lack of pickguard look on a Fender guitar or bass. My VM...I agreed with these guys (obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members georgestrings Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'd be all over that bass if it had a pickguard. I just don't like the lack of pickguard look on a Fender guitar or bass. Same here - I would've left the knobs alone and added either a tort, black, or white PG - and upgraded the pots, jack, and wiring... Those are a killer bass for the money, though... Congrats, and Happy NBD, zesty... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hopi Posted April 30, 2008 Members Share Posted April 30, 2008 Those knobs look pretty sweet! I have the same bass, and I tried to replace the pickup covers with some cream-colored ones from Warmoth, but they were configured for the American j-bass p'ups. You're correct though, it's a big surprise when you get it home and spend some time with it. Was really amazed at how quiet it was (the control route even has graphite shielding paint). I added a Warmoth tort guard to mine, (required trimming at the control plate joint though), and similar knobs that I had laying around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted April 30, 2008 Members Share Posted April 30, 2008 Dang mellobud, that thing's coming along nicely! I really dig the pup cover. Hey, take the pickguard off and slap some white paint near the neck to hide the truss rod hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, take the pickguard off and slap some white paint near the neck to hide the truss rod hole. Hijack: Sorry.... I was thinking about throwing some white or black hockey tape under it...I too trimmed the pickguard (I love Dremel). The neck was wider at the heel from the 2003 MIA the guard came from and I also trimmed it at the control plate connection. Has a Badass II on it for way more stability.I replaced the Pots to 250k CTS solid shafts and put black jazz knobs on. (required drilling the holes one size larger) I'll throw some better pics up once I fill the bare headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
