FENDER SQUIRE BASS

Amazing Fender Squire Bass, reworked with Seymour Duncan pickup and brass nut


Mary acquired this bass back in the 1990's, it flopped around in closets for years. Finally I took it to Jacobs Custom Guitars, they installed the new Seymour Duncan Pickup set, replaced the defective volume pot and replaced the nut with a custom cut brass nut.

This bass is set up for B-E-A-D tuning so it is like playing the lower four strings on a five string bass. It has great low-end tone and plays easily now.

The metal-flake finish glistens in the light and looks great

This bass plays better than most off-the-wall American built instruments you find in stores. The original pickup sounded terrible but the new Seymour Duncan P-bass set makes this bass sound fantastic and with the B-E-A-D tuning it has depth and bass that is very surprising for a four-string instrument.
