Damn that elite II looks good! An elite II body with an american deluxe jazz neck and a pair of quarter pounders would be sweet!

My Elite is my favorite bass I've ever owned. It sounds freaking amazing and is absolutely gorgeous! However, I need to have it re-fretted. The green is in the shellac, allowing the wood grain to show through. On my home scale it weighs 13 lbs. I am going to collect them. People who own Elite basses tend to hold on to them. They are not easy to find. I've seen pictures of people who own 6 or 7 of them. I think the prettiest ones are walnut. They just glow. I've started shopping for pickups to swap out of my P Special Deluxe. I'm leaning toward an EMG PJX set. I am partial to active pickups. I'm also considering Seymour Duncan's SPB-3 and SJB-3, both of which are quarter pounders. I grew up a huge Iron Maiden fan. Steve Harris is the reason I started playing bass instead of guitar 25 years ago. According to Seymour Duncan, Steve uses the SPB-3. I love his sound. Although, playing through my rig, I honestly think my Elite sounds better - very deep and rich. Then again, my Special Deluxe is pretty much a backup bass. It plays really easily, much easier than my Elite. I let my wife "play" it. I've tried teaching her. She gets flustered, struggling with whatever she's practicing - usually U2, Muse, or Kings of Leon. I'll sit down and have it down in less than a minute. That pisses her off. She should know better by now. My fingers are like an airplane propeller. You see the movement not really the prop itself. I dunno about the pickups. I guess we'll see.

Pictures of my basses, here they are.

My '78 Fender Musicmaster. Got this in spring '97 FREE from a friend. But the catch was that the bass was found in a barn, in the hayloft, in a cheap old chipboard case. No idea how long it had been there but it was rough, rusty parts, paint peeling in giant flakes, but even in that condition it played when I plugged it in. So after about 6 mos work, some elbow grease on the chrome, and a new paint job at an auto body shop, it came out pretty slick. The original tuners gave out on the E and A strings so I had to upgrade those, and the original Strat pickup had such low output that I up'd it to a Seymour Duncan 1/4 pounder. Total investment around $300 so far and it's been my main workhorse/player for all these years. I have the original pickguard but this white one has my kids hands/feet/etc from about 8 years ago.

Now for my Squier MM's. The white one was a craigslist find from about 1 1/2 years ago, $250 with a hard case, not bad. I put that gray pickguard on to replace the white and get away from the "universal urinal" color it had. The black one I just picked up last week, again a CL find for $130, couldn't pass it up for that price!

Now I'm thinking the gray pickguard would look sharp on the black bass, and maybe a red pearl on the white one? Time will tell. I have new strings ordered and when they arrive the black one is off to the local luthier for a "once over." The action is very high on that one.

For all the talk about Squier quality etc, I actually think the Squier MM's are better built than the Fender. They are much heavier, the painted headstock is a nice touch, and the bridge is set up with "string through body" ferrules, seems to help the sustain. Love 'em all anyway.

So after all that boring info, here's a couple photos:
