More Sunday afternoon noodling, this time on a recently finished/ongoing project. It's tuned to open D and is strung with .015-.056 gauge D'Addarios. I bought this '00 Squier Bullet hardtail used about eight years ago and have been changing stuff on it ever since. Ironically, it has a lot of its original hardware reinstated in its current form. Notable modifications include the wiring, which is a single neck pickup from a Fender US Standard Strat wired to 250k Alpha pots with a "50's style" tone circuit and a more midrange-heavy .01 cap. I also just finished making a lap steel-style saddle for it out of a piece of 5/16" square steel rod. It's held in place by string tension against the front two bridge mounting screws and is a great improvement over the original rattle-prone saddles.

Solution for Squier bass crap tuners
Tuners on MY squier are crap! I own two Squier basses and both have the same tuning problem. Every single day out of tune. But not flaten, sharpen!!! Then I noticed that the metal rounds on the front side of tuning machines were popped out a little because of the string force. And they were moving in-out. But frequency only noticable on electronic tuner. The solution was made in minute - with no cost at all! Just 5 min relaxing work with wood. - I drill 4 holes very close to metal rounds and tighten 4 screws. Head of the screw holds the metal round in place. (You can put GOLD screws and called it upgraded, ha ha) Otherwise the Squier basses are decent guitars - nice finish mostly!
