For the bass players who also play guitar, is it possible to keep your technique up on both instruments, or would someone be better off dedicating themselves to just one? I've been spending equal time on both, depending on what I need to play in a group.

Am I the only one who thinks Jaco is just and only okay? I really don't get the hype. Overall, I think I'm just bitter after dealing with one too many musicians who proclaim themselves' 'best ever'. I can't remember who said it, but somewhere I read that 'Jaco wasn't a player, he was a...

btw, Thunderbucker. Thanks for your response, you're pickups look like the ticket. When money isn't so tight and I can start this project, I'll be using your pickups,
