This exactly. You say you want to upgrade the pickups, but there is nothing to suggest these pickups will be any better than what's already in the bass. Get the ones you know you like!

Glad you like it Si-bob! I cant remember exactly why I let mine go. It was a cool bass.

Mine is the new Firemist Gold one and I havent actually weighed it, but I would estimate it to be in the high 7's, low 8's.

Man our stories are nearly identical. I also switched to shorties recently and we have a similar lineup of basses. Ive got 5 short scales- 2 Squier Mustangs, 1 heavily modded Bronco, a bass that is part Musicmaster, part Mustang, part P Bass (my main axe), and a SBMM stingray shortie. I also...

Here's a couple pics of the new shorty

Ill post some pics once mine comes in

Has anyone seen the new Guitar Center Exclusive color Cashmere Short Scale SBMM Ray? I think they look pretty slick and are 20% off right now, so I ordered one. Should be here next week!

I saw online they have a GC exclusive short scale ray in a color they are calling cashmere. Did you happen to try one of those out as well?
