It will sound very similar to the true vintage MM bass since it is a Mustang/DuoSonic guitar pickup. It's very cheap and easy to find.<br />I have a Squier Duo-Sonic and the pickups sound very nice imo. Nice high end and lots of thump. That's why I think it may be a great alternative.<br />I plan to buy a Bronco and mod it to be a white MM bass.<br />Best,<br />Fernando<br />fdi.recording at gmailFernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790828673028650597.post-43689328246671614312011-04-03T09:27:21.497-07:002011-04-03T09:27:21.497-07:00Looks like I'm going with the Fender Squier Mu...Looks like I'm going with the Fender Squier Musicmaster Bass Bridge and Ferrules from guitarpartsresource.com. This bridge uses through the body for the strings. Also a new white pearl 3-layer pickguard from Dazbootman on ebay.

There's a post there about bridges for these modifications, as well as some other posts and what folks did to put a new bridge on their Bronco. Just search TB for Bronco and you'll find lots of information and pics of other folks Bronco and Musicmasters.<br /><br />My Bronco project is just gathering dust. I now have a main bass that needs some electrical repair so there goes more potential Bronco money in another direction.<br /><br />Once you fund the string spacing specs, then you might try All Parts in Houston. <br /><br />Keep us posted and thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />And are you buying a new pickguard and if so, where?THE FISHING MUSICIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370096226036500054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790828673028650597.post-63124292832888206042011-04-02T18:53:44.835-07:002011-04-02T18:53:44.835-07:00I also have a Squire Bronco Bass Project.

The body was beat up when I got it. I didn't really care about the vintage look, so I bought a used Squire Bronco from my niece who decided she didn't want to learn how to play bass. This particular guitar was crude and never played well, so I put my Musicmaster neck to the red Bronco body which was beautiful, then bought the new age Jazz Bass Pickups and pots kit from Stewart McDonald and installed them by modifying the body to accommodate the second pickup near the bridge, wired in the new pots and it is a new animal, has all the bass and tone I ever wanted!Randy Rallohttp://www.fortymileair.comnoreply@blogger.com
