My white Douglas WOB-826, tuned B-E-A-D-G-C. My red burst Yamaha BB1500A, tuned C#-G#-C#-F#. My red Ibanez GSR200, tuned D-G-C-F. And my first bass [which is why I'm unwilling to get rid of it,] a 1991 Samick P-Bass copy, tuned E-A-D-G. And finally, all my basses and other...

I did get the pickups put in, but had some difficulty uploading the sound files. I also have yet to take photos of the bass with the new pickups. That being said, the bass sounds excellent with the new pickups. The primary difference from the stock pickups was that most of the notes are equal...
