Chi-love Club

I've got Chi's in my Lakland Skyline Decade which thunders like very few basses out there. Really amazing.

Nobody in the Chi-Love club knows the answer here? If not, where's the best place to find the answer?

Yes...both pickups are the same.

I am the lucky aquisitioner of the wonderful CHI-Sonic equipped 55- bass that was recently in TB classified.

It seems the bass has had the HB/SC switch moded to be kill switch. Since I am already going to have to crack this dude open to get the SC mode back anyway, I am toying with the idea of swapping out the DPDT on-on switch for a three-way 4PDT on-on-on and wiring it Series HB/SC/Parrallel HB.

Have any of you CHI lovers toyed around with the humbuckers to see if there is a preference between series and parrallel.

Congratulations! LOVE my 4-07 with ProSteels! Was didn't think you could go parallel on those for some reason. Email Carl and he can give you a precise answer [email protected]

[MarkusBass]

I'm waiting on my Trans White LE 55-60 with Chi Sonics. I'm getting antsy but I know it will be worth the wait. There's a rumor that they've arrived at Lakland, so we shall see.

 

[MarkusBass]

Going to be worth the wait, man!

Oh yeah? I might be going by there later this week. If I do, I'll keep an eye out for them.

Take a camera! BassAgent has one with Hanson pickups on order as well.

As for humbuckers in single coil mode.... everyone I've talked to (including myself) prefers the buckers over the single coil sound. BUT standard single coil Chis sound GREAT and are my preferred jazz type sc.

I am eager to decide for myself. My initial impressions of this bass are pretty favorable.

Sorry, I didn't make it. Tryin' to get my guitar player over there to check out Hanson Guitars, but he hasn't had the time yet.

I've been without a Chi'd up bass for a while. Until now:

 

[MarkusBass]

Awesome, Gus! So cool seeing them in a totally different kind of bass!

Thanks! This bass sounds like nothing I've had before. Huge, huge lows but with definition. Hollow-ness and Chis=Yummmy!

More pics and specs here:

 

[MarkusBass]

I didn't know it was a semi hollow body! Cool!

Beautiful! Are these custom pups straight from Hanson? No chrome I see.

This one deserves a spot here. Did this one recently for a fellow bassplayer:

And, currently working on this monster:
