| | Rockin and Rollin and what not! | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: The 'D'/GR, MI | | | A few have inquired about the Schaller pup, which have adjustable pole pieces vs. traditional as seen in the pics.
The photos were taken at a time when I had a Fralin P in it. The original Schaller I found much more even across the strings as well as more full through the mid range and has been back in the bass for some time. |

Yeah, my first MM Sterling turned me on to it and I've had it done to 8 basses since. My tech has it down to a fine science at this point and I am completely addicted to the feel.
To each his own, of course, but I can barely play a glossy finish today and when I do I think to myself, guy's don't know what they're missing! |

| | Rockin and Rollin and what not! | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: The 'D'/GR, MI | | | From what I understand, G&L guru's feel free to correct, this was the Schaller PBX early in '85, which was in part designed by Leo and has the adjustable pole pieces just like the MFD design.
This a great P bass representative and ready to move, let's deal! |

These basses are fantastic sounding. The Schaller lends a little more vintage vibe to the tone, I think, but the output rivals that of the MFD. Plus, the G&L 1 5/8" SB neck profile is my favorite of all time.
Great looking bass bump! |
