That's all I have to say.
Except that it's more fun than Charlie Sheen sitting at the same table as your sisters at your wedding reception.
Five way switch
1. bridge
2. bridge + middle (like Sadowsky Modern)
3. bridge + neck (like J bass combined)
4. middle + neck (more funky stankiness)
5. neck
Chambered ash body.

Still, at the moment if it's three single coils, the Big Al takes first place.

If I had to nitpick without playing it, I would likely prefer a PU closer to the neck.... maybe Roger will build me the same with 4 or maybe 5 PU?

Ash body. | That's OUTSTANDING Jim! Have you had a chance to hear it on a gig yet? What about the weight. Great colour.

In fact, even without the band. The H2 does a wonderful job IMHO for simple clips. I'd just ask that you don't do anything with amp or bass EQ.  |
