Telecaster Bass build - questions

[Chris P.]

Nice Hofner. I kinda like that rectangular shape of the pickguard.

[Dave W]

I do too. Tele and Hofner vibe. It wouldn't satisfy Tele purists, of course.

If you use a Mustang bass bridge, you can still do a string thru design.  They are set up that way.  The Musicmaster/Bronco are not.  

If you can get your hands on a squier musicmaster bass vista series then you got an string trough bridge.

I have ordered an lefty thinline telecaster body, wicht I'n going to blend with an bronco bas to make myself an lefty thinline tele short scale bass. I'n still in doubt wich pu's I'm going to use. I know it's going to me an chrome one, but I have several pu's laying around. Some telecaster guitar neck SG, A telecaster bass hb, And EPI eb-3 set and some japanse 70's HB's.
