'Scuse me while I wipe away my drool, that bass is hot!

I think you should leave the pup cover off in this case. When combined with the bridge it makes the J pup look really out of place IMO.

Do you know what kind of P pup it is?

That makes another non-Chi'd bass in Markus' family, the tables appear to be turning...:ninja:

Ok, so you guys know me and my preferred music style (Third Obsession stuff), and you also know that I have done some fretless fusion instrumental stuff too. Well, w/ Third Obsession falling apart more each day, and the fusion thing evaporating as well.... I've found myself VERY bored lately. And when I'm not using gear, the urge to liquidate GROWS. I don't wanna sell my babies!!

So, I got asked to try out for a metal band that also needed a singer. I learned a couple of their tunes (from vocal-less tracks) and went to jam w/ 'em tonight. I found the music interesting enough and fairly fun to play. They practice regularly and gig regularly, right on page w/ me and my goals. Also, it's very apparent that it'd be A LOT easier to use my 4 strings due to the odd tuning and use of open strings. This is a HUGE plus since most of my Lakies are 4 strings, and don't see any real use w/ the other bands, when we're actually doing something that is :hmm:.

They had the "possible" new singer come by tonight too. He's a screamer and growler, the type of vocalist I friggin' hate!!!! In fact, that trend in metal is what actually turned me off to that style, over 15 years ago.

The band said I've got the job if I want it. So, here's the question: what do I do? Grin and bare it and be playing gigs w/ my Tele in 2 weeks :bassist::hyper:? Ask the main guy if they "have" to go that route vocally, and tell 'em what I think? I mean, who am I to walk in and start asking for changes, right? Or just decline the job and sit in my basement w/ my dusty Lakies and work on my classical guitar lessons?

Thanks.

Maybe jam with them a bunch and see if they'd be interested in incorporating other styles of music into what they play. Ala
