Could my bass evolve like a pokemon?

[Joe164]

I couldnt resist, because thats what it would be like IF I :

• Put my MIM P on a table
• Got a Highway one in the same colour
• Removed the (black) scratchplate and Seymour duncan SPB3's from the MIM
• Fitted them to the Highway one (assuming this is possible)
• Sold the MIM as it would make a few quid never being gigged etc
• Highway Mon! i choose you!

Is it possible?

Whats a pokemon and whats a quid??

 

[Joe164]

sorry, a pokemon is a cartoon charectar which evolves into a better version of itself in an instant.

A quid is a british term for a pound or dollar or whatever. Sorry

I don't see why there would be any problem? All you're doing is swapping a pickguard and pickups.

 

[WoodyG3]

I love the British slang for money. It's good to know that quid is still used, but I assume bob is no longer used since the change to the decimal system.

Anyway, there is no reason you couldn't do the swaps you are talking about. If you prefer the Highway one neck and body, go for it!

Im worried about things like screw holes, and tone circuits.

Does the H1 have the same (or simillar) circuitry to the MIM and others?

Edit: Bob is still widely used

Very possible, but why?

It'll sound the same, and look the same, and for the most part feel the same, only difference will be the Highway 1's nitro finish.

And have the badass II bridge, fender MIA construction though.

I have been told in another post that highway one is a good step up from the MIM

Yeah, from a stock MIM, its a decent move up, not a modded one with an SD, honestly, just get a Badass for your current bass, and it'll be just as good.

I guess your right. Their not a huge step up. Theres something in knowing your holding MIA and not MIM though. Still, i think i'll take your advice.

Poms still use pounds shillings etc.
Smart 1 like us Ozzies we went decimal in 66 ( not that I rember as I was born very late December 61)

Seriously, the big difference in MIA basses is the hardware and electronics, unless you buy something odd, like the Tony Franklin, Roscoe Beck, or the Delux series.

You have everything covered, the badass will be the final touch.

I assure you that bob is still going strong.

Darkstrike, bringing a bass into a post containing the name Roscoe?! What gives you the right?!

Yes. It would work. But why? Why not sell them both, or not buy the HW1, and get a used MIA. Problem solved.

Because its like a really high level pokemon, Mewtwo level even.

Point taken. Could you catch Mewtwo with a Masterball? I never found out..

Yes you could, all the other legends were easy to catch without it anyway, so I always minded mine.


Signed,
Darkstrike, ex poke nerd, yet still looks forward to the new one,

Totally. If you didn't waste it on one of the birds, or if you duplicated it a bunch of times
