Just got a "new" bass for free

A guy knew I played bass, and he never played his, so he was nice enough to give it to me!

 

I've never been a fan of Squier basses or P-Basses, but I must say, this thing is surprisingly good! It has a great punch to it and really suits my style. I think I'm going to replace the pups (haven't decided what to get , suggestions welcome), add a matching Hipshot extender key, and get the vintage pup and bridge covers.

Free is always good! If it has punch already you may be happy with the stock pickup. Otherwise you can replace it with a '62 replica:

Also a BaddAss bridge will work nicely which might give it a bit more bite.

Same thing happened to me when I was like eight (Squier p-bass, for free). I haven't done any work on it at all; it still has the stock pups and bridge, and neither are in great condition. At a later time, when I have the money, I'm gonna get new pups and a Badass bridge put on it. Can't wait to hear it after that. biggrin.gif

The Squier line is surprisingly well-made. Okay, so it's not like a full-fledged Fender, but it's still pretty darn good, and a great value. (Particularly for you two "free" people!)
