Cool man! I've had chromes on mine, and it still retains that mid texture that Decades single coil have.

Tnx, Candy Apple Orange Juice, what a fantastic name for a color. :cool:

The Decade is just fantastic! It's the first bass I bought for the second time, I can't understand now why I sold the first one 8 months ago... :scowl:

The Decade came out of the case perfectly. Have adjusted the setup a bit and raised the neck-pup for more "oomph". I'm thinking of adding a push/pull for series/parallel. Had that in my CS-Jazz before the J-Retro, and it made a real monster of it. ;)

I'm also gonna try this nice set of d'Addario Chromes I've lying around, but am afraid to lose some of that complex mids with them...but I'll find out.

Speaking of 44-01-Chi-Love: I turned this 44-01 into a CS-monster last week. My impression is that these are a litter hotter than regular CS's.

The result:

soundclip request - any chance one of you find gentlemen could point me to a demo of Chi-sonic pickups used with a driven tube amp? I really dig the Decade, but never have gotten a chance to test it with a bit of dirt.

thanks in advance!

Trying to work my new Tascam DP-004 to get you some with my my Decade through my Walkabout (very tubish). I'll post if I can figure it out.

Tnx Markus. In this video, this BaCHBird was played over an Orange AD200 with an Ampeg B40 cab.

The CS Humbuckers sound killer! I added a push-pull for coilsplitting (HB to singlecoils), but the singlecoils sound is not as powerfull or rich as the real Singlecoils.

Anyway, I have an other set of HB'ers lying around, could be nice in the Decade. But I already has a series/parallel in that...sounds killer too! :cool:
