And... How about a P/J config., FRETLESS, on a Mahogany body AND a J/J config on an Ash body OR should it be a P/J config., on a Mahogany body AND a J/J config., FRETLESS, on an Ash body? The question comes out from the fact that I already have a J/J, Ash body, bass made by my luth and he is...

How about hand made Amalfitano pups?

It is not an elitist attitude that leads us to learn music notation -- which is a common language that enormously facilitates the flow of music. As far as TABS go, I don't like them for guitar or bass, Could do very well without them. However, I know many that use them. It is up to the magazine...
