Hey Everyone! We're revisiting an old project that was left a bit incomplete. I've finally finished it up and we're going to check out my modified Squier Bronco with a Guild Bisonic pickup! Let's do this!
This bass and all my other basses with rounds are strung with SIT Foundation Nickel Plated Stainless Steel 45-105(125) unless otherwise noted. Check them out at sitstrings.com/

That explosion before the "pinch that like button so my had turns back to normal" segment got pretty close to the cat. He does not seem rattled at all. What a trooper. Might want to check to make sure his fur didn't get singed though.
This is the radest Bass ever! So cool Lobster thanks a bunch for sharing with us!👏🎶🎸
That sounds SOOOOO GOOD!!!
I hope things are going well for you, sir. Your voice in the bass community is sorely missed...😢
So glad to see a review of this pickup on a short scale before I dive into my sg mod with one, love that thick tone 🔥🔥
I think it sounds awesome and this is the tone I think of when thinking of short scales.
It definitely has a vibe with that Guild pickup in it. That would be a great rock n roll bass.
The Guild BS-1 is a great pickup. One of my Serek Lincoln basses has one and it sounds really great with fingers and particularly awesome with a pick! The Novak is killer, I love it, but the Guild is an incredible value.
Sounds like a proper bass now. Good job!
My old Ampeg Little Stud is at the luthier getting a Bisonic installed now. This video helped me decide what pickup to use
There’s basses that punch above their weight and then there is this lil Bronco knocking out The Sun.
This is great!
I've loved the guild bisonic sound since I heard it from Berry Oakley's tractor bass!
Thanks for mentioning this original member of the Allman Brothers Band.
Man, that Bisonic is HUGE... But it sounds *so good*
That’s one another reason I love your channel.
Sounds great. That is a very cool pup.
I recently finished a not dissimilar mod on a Squier CV Mustang Bass, replacing the pickup with a Serek LZN B90. Adding the cost of the pickup to the installation and the mod cost as much as the bass. It is still pretty neck heavy but other than that, a killer bass now.
I think Lobster has a new favourite bass!! All the BFR instruments will soon be on Reverb!!
I’ll take that bongo! Lol
LOL!
That sounds very good to my ears. Just shows you, you don`t need to spend a load of cash to get a nice sounding instrument these days. Nice mod Lob!
Thanks Jerry!
Love the sound of that PUp on this bass
That sounds amazing. One mod I would do it replace the bridge w/ a Wilkinson brass saddle one. Great vid as always!
Looks and sounds lovely! I may consider doing the same! Looks class
Really a great mod that sounds wonderful.
Sounds pretty sweet!
Getting an entry-level Squier, as in some cases, can be a hit-or-miss situation. I bought my Squier Bronco Bass all new back in 2019. It sounded very nice, just the humming noise being the only issue since it's a single-coil pickup. I loaded hotrails on mine last year and made it fretless this year. It's now one of the best basses I've played after those experimental modifications were applied. I would bring this bass to some gigs now. Maybe, when I get the chance, I will change the strings with GHS pressure wounds, as they're available for short-scale basses. It's great that you did an upgrade to the pickups. You deserve a Slap of Like on this video (#SlappedLike). Be well!
I have a Bronco that I modded with a GFS Stratocaster 15k hot rail. Amazing humbucker tone and it's now the loudest bass I own. Foe anyone wondering, the Bronco pickup is actually a Stratocaster pickup. So any Strat pickup will fit and there are a million options out there. Great mod platform.
I did that exact mod, it really puts some life into that little bass. It's now a lot of fun to play.
did you need to route the body or it is mounted on the surface?
@@herroglop7411 Had to route the body. Also moved the pickup toward the neck a bit to put the pickup at a harmonic.
That really made a huge difference over the stock pickup. I just scored a Bronco parts project. Still pondering my pickup options, the Guild Bisonic does sound really nice.
Sounds great
Seems like a similar pickup to the TV Jones pickup .
Id like to see Fender do more Cabronita basses .( this kind of reminded me of that)
I bought an old Hagstrom H2B which, as I understand, had the precursor pickup to the larger darkstars. It only had one left, the the neck position had a p90 hot glued in (the pick guard was mostly bondo and paint stirrers, legit) but WOW. So I grabbed the Guild bisonic that- at the time- had a broken webpage that was like listed and then removed but I saved it and contacted a rep about it and was able to order one before I guess they were technically available. Once they started getting traction with the Serek stuff I felt so validated because I was like "yeah the novaks are amazing and all but this was a hunnid bucks, mang!! and it sounds KILLER"
I like to pair it with a tonestyler tone pot because I like how it changes the rolloff.
I had purchased a shell pink color, modded with a Seymour Duncan pick up and white pearloid pickguard, have used it on many gigs. Great little bass
Oh and added flat wounds.
Sounds pretty good.
I sold an all blacked out Bronco with BiSonic last summer and though I loved the tone and look of the bass, the string height above the pickup wasn't my absolute favorite. When I was building it up I expected to have to route a bit, but all I did was have to measure, cut the pickguard, cut about an 1/8" off the elevator screws (so the body didn't push them), and wire it up. Like a 2 hour project with no hurry at all. I was just so surprised that it fit in so easily. I even found a 20% off coupon for the Guild store.. so that pickup was even more affordable ($82 with tax and shipping). I still love my JMJ though, so I put the Bronco up for sale. Miss how light those tuners were/non-neck-divey that bass was.
I'd love to see some reviews on the Epic Custom Shop pick ups. Specifically the P bass ones.
I'm in the process of modding 3 Broncos for 3 of my grandkids. They're 4-6-9 years old.
I'm putting Dimarzio Billy Corgan BC-2 pickups in them. They drop in and have the most bass response of all their strat-style pickups.
Would be interested in how they sound. Bridge or neck pickup?
Lobster love your channel and I need your opinion. I have a 2018 Epiphone SG bass, I bought it used for a very good price and it is mint condition. I also have a 66 Gibson EB-0, and love that bass and thought if the Epiphone was half the bass the old Gibson was I would like it. Well the tone is not but it was in such good shape and love the look of the EB basses I will do what I could to make it the best it could be and this video was at the perfect time. If you could buy the Gibson Mudbucker I would but as you know they don't. I think my options are down to the Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan and the Novak I believe it's called with it more money then I want to spend, I think like $200 or so. Now I am thinking of the Guild and you had mentioned the EB-0. You said it was a single coil pup. The controls are a little bit wanky also, I have no problems with the 3 point Bridge that everyone complains about, the first thing I did when I got the bass was pulled the two outside bridge Inserts out and crazy glued them in because I here on the Epiphone's the have a habit of pulling out. I have to many Fenders and other basses and if I could afford it I would by The Gibson, I always wanted a real long scale EB-3 but they are crazy money. I have about 20 basses and some are Vintage and some are good players, I'm a big Jack Bruce fan and that's why I got the EB-0, it was my first bass I got when I was 13 so I have had it for 45 years. Sorry for long comment, I don't make many comments and i do I keep them short. I like the sound of that Guild pup and I do realize that the Bronco is a shortscale as my EB-0 so that's part of the sound. If you can give me some tips on making this Epiphone as close to the EB-3, or just make it sound better I would be happy, I have the action perfect and love the way it plays, just hate the sound and am ready to start this project any tips I appreciate, thanks Lobster, and if I don't here from you have a happy New Year
From the thumbnail thought that it was a mudbucker! Well, considering the Bronco is the second cheapest Squier bass, can't expect it to be amazing at that price in any aspect (it isn't a Harley Benton), and wouldn't think of it being worth of getting aftermarket upgrades, but I guess that served its purpose for showcasing that pickup. There was some nasty buzzing when you slapped on it, compared to when you used pick or fingerstyle.
So I got an SD quarter pound in mine currently sitting at a slant to account for the tighter string spacing issue, I'm thinking I may do the neck and bridge on mine, neck pickup in your typical EBO spot and the bridge well by the bridge, rout it for a strat output jack and add a volume for the bridge so running a VVT set up.
There ya go TH-cam, your the first to hear it lmao
not bad at alll!
I LLLLike it!
sounds far superior now it needs a hipshot that stock bridge is like a hockey player with weak ankles
I bought it from him off Reverb and added the Hipshot bridge
Lobster, can you please provide the value of the tone cap? Slightly important for those who want to do this mod or one similar.
I have this same bass and want to do a similar upgrade but with a thunderbird style humbucker (the traditional chrome style). Will I be able to surface mount that pick up directly to the body over the existing singe coil PU cavity or will routing a larger cavity be required?
Do a pt.2 with flatwounds!!!
I feel like you're our weird uncle that I want to teach me bass 😂
I wonder if that pickup would fit the modern player telecaster bass🤔
Good shout!
It sounds to me like halfway in between a SC pup and the Artec MB; which would sound better on this bass cuz the pup is more centered.
To install this pickup , is it neccessary to route the body or it is surface mounted? In which case how bad or good the string to pickup height is? Thanks
If that is their single coil....I would hate to see the double. Probably bigger than Granny's cake pan😂
Whats pots are you using 250 or 500k? Did you stick with the 0.47 capacitor also?
Almost a Kalamazoo Bass
Lol I have spent more than the bass is worth on my bronco
Hipshot lite tuners
Areo pickup
New pots
An old hipshot bridge
Labella flats …
Oh and made a couple of custom pick guards
I wounder now you have this bass and the Harley Benton short mustang style what one you like more
And why ?
Bronco billy feats her more nice bass no more 😉🎼☕️
Did you put neck pickup or bridge pu?
What happened on the slap clip? It seems to have weird distortion.
Broncos sound okay out of the box. This sounds great but seems to pop a bit when you dig too hard.
Pretty sure it's due to the bass' output overloading his interface during parts of the slap clip.
Actually I think it was the jack being poopy on this bass lol
@@LowEndLobster Fair, I didn't really take into account the "poopyness" factor lol
I don't think your cat liked the sound of it, he was off as soon as you started riffing 😆
this might be a mod that isent a waste of time
Is this bass for sale ?
