Well, guess just gotta work through it with the builder. Prolly gonna be more towards a J style but we'll see.

I've just seen a lot of the "other" style pickguard for the 55/44 models and really like the MM style you've got going the best. I'd seriously considering doing one of those, whereas the other is not my thing as much.

Gah! The questions just keep coming! So my main player is a USA Peavey Cirrus right now. I love it, but it has a very modern sound, my back up is a Korean Spector. I like that bass too, but it also has a very modern sound. Basically my quiestion in concerning the Chi's. Are they a modern sounding pickup, or do they have more of an old-school vibe? I know they're more aggressive than the standard Lakland pickups, but thats about it.

I think they sound old school angry. But they do have a broader frequency range with isn't too old school. Hard to explain. For instance...in a J, it becomes a J with killing tone. Smoother top, but angrier mids, and heavier lows.

I see. I retired the Spector in favor of the Cirrus because it's a bit warmer and smoother sounding. The style of music I'm playing right now doesn't really call for that Spector growl. I guess my Cirrus is similar in tone to Ken Smith basses, jerk question but how would a Decade with Chi's compare?

OH MAN!!!! I keep forgetting how BEAUTIFUL that bass is....that is a GREAT comnbo......love ebony necks...Dan is not thrilled with the fretted ebony neck...he thinks it makes the bass sound harsh...what sayeth you????

If I have my druthers "Project Ebony" will come with BOTH a black blocked maple neck and an ebony neck for variety (If I ever get the coin to order a US version that is!)

Also, I forgot to mention that part of the reason that I went with an Ebony fretboard is because the bass has a Mahogany body with a Maple top. The mahogany is hard to see in those photos. So the overall combination doesn't come off as too harsh. Maybe with an Ash body, Ebony might be too much, but on my bass, it's perfect.
