A bass player friend of mine and I always talked about the specific things we wish we had on our guitars. I kept mental notes of our conversations and build him the perfect bass for him. I started with an affinity PJ bass guitar and replaced everything on it except the body and pickguard. I modded it with...
Squier Affinity P/J Bass Body Metallic Red
Mighty Mite MM2908 Jazz Bass Neck Rosewood Fretboard
Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Bass P-J Pickups
Hipshot BT7 Bass Xtender & HB7 Tuners
Graph Tech Tusq Nut
Fender High Mass Dlx 4-String Jazz P Precision Bass Bridge
CTS 250K 450G Series Solid Shaft, Audio Taper Pots. Potentiometer
1/4" Switchcraft #11 Mono Jack
Fender Precision Bass Knobs - Knurled Chrome
Custom “Timder Precision Jazz” Headstock Decal
Custom “Timder Custom Shop” Neck Plate
Dunlop Strap Buttons
Off/On/Off Toggle Killswitch
Shielded & Grounded Pickup Cavity
Frets Leveled, Crowned and Polished
Fretboard Treated
D'Addario ENR72 Half Round Bass Guitar Strings, Medium, 50-105, Long Scale
In my opinion this bass turned out better than my American Fender bass. In fact, I plan on selling the USA Fender to build another one just like this one. What do you think? Did I build a custom bass that started out as an Affinity Squier Bass and turn it into a better guitar than an American Fender?
