This is my pride and joy. My Precision started life as a Squier PBass. I gutted it, put in all American electronics, wiring harness, tuners and pickup. The neck was changed out for a Warmoth maple neck. A friend who paints cars refinished it in Vintage white and I topped it off with a tortoise shell pickguard.

That's very nice Hsech. A very worthwhile mod is to put on a high mass bridge. I've got a BadAss 1 which isn't easily reversible but I believe BadAss 2 fits straight on without drilling etc.
There are others too, Hipshot and Schaller to name but two. More info here:

Very nice.

The Leo Quan Bad Ass II Bass bridge is a direct replacement. No drilling needed, as it the holes line up perfectly with a standard Fender bass bridge.

And they are awesome too!

That's true. IF you need or want much more sustain. I have run a Badass and had to damp it in the studio. It rang on forever.

Besides the sustain, I also found that there's a lot more ooomph in the lower registers. :)

That's why they make JBL 15's and EQ's. :smoke: :thumbsup: :)

You can have too much sustain?
