I've been wondering the same thing. I use a Voodoo Labs ISO 5 because it is openly listed as having isolated and regulated output. I have a T-Rex that I want to use because of it's lower profile dimensions. I've scoured the internet and this is something that I've come across on the Gear Page

I put on the neck, electronics, etc... and weighed both basses. The Deluxe weighs a little over 3lbs more!

Thinking about painting the body black.

Yup. I like that look too. I painted the headstock and back of the GL neck. Got a sweet headstock logo from Voodoo Decals for the headstock

I really like pickguard free look on this one. Gonna slap a Geddy Lee neck on it

I bought a new Deluxe last month. All the online specs state "alder", which sounds about right. It's fairly heavy. I'm gonna guess the body w/out the neck would be 6lbs+ I also just got the regular non-Deluxe body from eBay (it's a legit Fender/Duff body has all the correct markings and from a...

I have no idea. I'm open to offers though

I usually upgrade tuners, bridge, pickups on every guitar I buy. My proudest upgrade is attached (Aerodyne body with Geddy Lee neck/headstock painted to match. Seymour Duncan pickups, Hipshot bridge and Ultra Light tuners)

Does anyone know what is the original switch used in this bass? Mine is 2000 model. Many, many years ago I replaced the original on/off toggle switch with a 500K pot which made the instrument much more useful to me. Even though it's one of the best playing basses I've ever touched, I've never...

I volunteered. I was the lone guitarist in my band from 2004-2011. I'm a gear hound, so I had a nice bass amp bass that was used by the original, pretty rudimentary, bass player until '08, and a new, very talented, guy started in 2008. We continued as a 3 piece until 2011 when we added a 2nd...

I have two Gibson Les Standard OSBs. The factory pickups are TB+ ceramic, guitar sized humbuckers. They actually sound pretty good, but just don't have the mid/high definition I like. I have retained factory pickups in the "backup", but I have Rio Grande Pitbulls in my main LP. I run volumes...

Haha. I didn't think of that moniker. No leftovers though. I couldn't stand the thought of taking apart a perfectly good bass, so I just sought out the individual parts to build it

I've always liked the Aerodyne because of the contoured body, no pickguard and binding, as well as P/J pickups. And, love the Geddy Lee model for it's neck (thin, fast, block inlays and binding) I've had an Aerodyne done for a while and in the last couple of years have picked up a couple of...

I actually prefer MIM/CIJ over MIA. The dark inlays just look better and I can't tell a playability issue. I upgraded the electronics in both my MIM/CIJ GLs and added Seymour Duncans and you will not find a better Fender bass

Switched from guitar to bass in 2013. Went 3 years burning through one pedal to another. Literally, probably tried at least around 30-40 some odd bass (some guitar) OD/distortion pedals (too many to name, but the usual mainstream Boss, Tech 21, Digitech, MXR, Fulltone, EH, Ibanez, Ashdown...
