Here's my "Karma contribution" to a friend's(who shall go nameless) studio. Apparently recording using a P bass is the preferred method, and his bassist prefers an old Steinberger. After listening to much pissing and moaning I "appropriated" one of those Chinese firewood Squiers from '97 from his kid (who went over to the dark side years ago). I just wanted to see if I could get him something together that would work for recording(and stopping the whining!). My friends bassist Has small hands like I do so.............One MM2908 Jazz neck+one S.D. 1/4 pounder+some DR rounds, and the thing actually ROCKS! So, as long as they can keep it away from high-heat sources, it'll do for recording. I get credit as "Bass hack" on the album when it comes out(good karma, right?).(Better than a sharp stick in the eye!)

One of the best bassists I've ever known still keeps around a mid 1980's Squier Korean P-Bass with a Quarter Pounder P pickup and a MM humbucker in the bridge position. Pretty versatile and all-around good solid sounding bass.

Anyone think a decent bridge would help a Bronco bass lose some of that "foggy" tone it has acoustically? Not so bad plugged in with a DP188 pick-up in it, but I'm thinking it could be cleaner sounding. I'm sort of getting into taking things that aren't real good and trying to make them better. Not just basses(we're talking serious mind loss at times). I seem to be having fun "polishing turds" lately. I also wonder who makes a bridge with that narrow spacing that might fit.
