humbuckers, baby.
I don't dislike it, but it's too dark for my tastes. I can appreciate that some like it, but every clip I've heard of the Chisonic's just hasn't appealed to me. I like the more aggressive top end and mid-snarl of the single coils in a jazz bass, and the same in a P bass. I very much dislike the tone of the Decade with the Chi's, which is heresy I know around here!
I've liked pretty much every Lakland JO, DG, BG, or Dunn I've heard with Lakland, Fralin or Aero pups. That's just my thing I guess.
I'll probably have a Duck Dunn by the end of this week.![]()
So here's a couple action shots of Radioactive Oatmeal taken a few shows ago (pre- headstock matching....).

Okay, guys! I need some help! I've been playing my DJ very often with the neck pup solo'ed in one band, going for a P-bass feel. It really kills...and it's killing me. It's making me want a Duck Dunn! I've played P basses plenty, and I love them for the most part. But I've been at the Lakland website comparing the audio clips of the Jazz basses (neck pup only) to the Glaub and Dunn basses. The differences are so minimal it almost makes me think it would just be a waste of money to buy another instrument as I am NOT going to part with my DJ's.
I know how these things go, that if I compared the two side by side then it would be easier to gauge the differences in the two instruments. But I also know that nobody else would likely notice it.
Should I pick up a Dunn or just be happy that I love the sound of my DJ's neck pup?

here you go my friend:

More heresy here, but I'm not a fan of Lake Placid Blue, and I don't want a P/J either. Just a P!there's another one in the classifieds:
