Greetings! Continuing on the topic of pickguards, does anyone have one on their L2000? And a design with measures they could share? I love my L2000 (even though it has been sitting back for a bit since I've been messing with a Grabber and an ATK) and I doubt I'll ever sell it, so, why not make...

Yup, as said before it is quite a hot pickup and if you run it all in humbucker mode is woofy as all hell, you can run it in single coil but I feel it loses quite a lot of the punch. Good news is that raising the E side a sensible ammount seemed to fix the problem, last steps of wrangling this...

What's the pickup you used for your Grabber build? I'm kind of tempted to try and fit a P-bass pickup into this bass to see if maybe a bass centered pickup would fare better than the Bill Lawrence, even though I really like the Bill Lawrence, maybe it just doesn't do that well for what I'm going...

Sounds great, the Hi-mass bridge (although raising the action substantially) made the bass super resonant and even loud acoustically!

Hi! Not a 100% original Grabber (Actually pretty much 80% of this bass is non original) but a Melody 6600 which is basically an Italian version/copy of the grabber with a moving pickup! (Which was a guitar humbucker) After basically rehauling the whole bass the only problem I have with it is the...

Strings may have to do. They are DR dragon skin and while they are good I feel they lack a bit of low end punch when compared to the Rotos I usually play. Not like it has a bad sound plugged in at all, I think my Grabber may be a bit too hot and woofy when compared to the L2000's clarity and...

Such as? It is true that my Grabber has more mass than my G&L but again the resonance and volume between the two is pretty much day and night, any ideas as to what it may be apart from the bridge?

Reviving the thread to ask a little doubt I have. I installed a Fender Himass on my Grabber copy bass and the resonance and even output of my bass while unplugged has gone up significantly, sadly leaving my G&L L2000 sounding a bit anemic both plugged and unplugged in comparison, would...

Hmm I dont know how that would go, mind elaborating?

I figured. I liked the sound on the neck best but I think is just that the way your pickups are wired make them sound too clean for me. Hooked up to a lower k wiring and with the added use of a tone pot I think I'll get a good chunky tone. Its mostly what I'm looking for in my Grabber, I already...

Just what I was looking for then!

I ended up ordering a 6H. Which will be hooked up to an Allparts precision bass wiring harness (Dont know the value of the pots on that one, maybe 250k). The sound of the 4H seemed a bit too clean for what I'm looking with my Grabber

Gotcha. Either way I sent Becky an email asking similar stuff. Ill wait for her response and I'll snag one. Thanks for the help!

So. If I understood correctly. A pickup with more Henries would yield a "growlier" tone? Since it's more prone to distortion and has a greater pull on the string? Considering the KOhms in a 4H and a 6H are the same, a 4H should have a cleaner tone and a 6H a dirtier, growlier (though not darker)...

Damn I think you sold me on them! Yours are 4H? What are the difference between the different models? Also, you got the length and width of yours noted somewhere?
