I got this at Sam Ash for for cheap: It's an '86 Squier Strat, Japan made, with a Fender case. It's pretty nice, but the previous owner spray-painted the pickguard, tremolo arm tip and pickup covers black, which took a couple of hours to clean off. Also, the neck pickup is unoriginal, and the nut was on backwards, and was broke into 3 pieces (You can sort of see the break between the E and A slots; the other break us under the Low E). I just superglued the nut slot and put the pieces in place; it seems to have worked fine. The knobs were replaced with black metal knobs, but I had an original set in my spare parts bin. The switch button was missing, but I had one of those, too. The only thing I had to get was a cover for the neck pickup that matched, and Greenshift had one for $1 (though it is a little more yellowed than the other two). I plan of putting a black pickguard, knobs and pickup covers on it, and maybe get an original neck pickup, too.

Thats very cool indeed. The question is: will you keep it?

That's a good question. I did take back the Soundgear I got a few weeks back, so you never know what I'll do next. This one should make me a few bucks if I do decide to sell, but I did buy a Boss Super Overdrive pedal to use with it, so I'm kinda committed.

I finally got all the black stuff for it. Rachel didn't think it was a good choice to go all black, but when she saw the finished product, she changed her mind.

Much better looking. Just a maple neck away from being fan freaking tastic!

I like it the way it is. I already have two basses with maple fretboards, and I love them, but I'd be just as happy if they had rosewood boards.
Though I'd be inclined to agree if you said ebony board........

I hate to double dip a picture but this one (stolen from the Jazz bass Club) does feature both my Squire Bullet and my Squire Jazz.
