Me too....but WHAT do I buy? I doubloe j....go figa!
BUT I am going to "brainstorm" with Carl on Saturday.....she may stay a JJ....and then again......maybe not.....
as Greg said....ther has NEVER been an active single coil double single coil CHI bass....YET!
AND - I am picking up an "old friend"....
full of secrets!
I float mine too, but I always anchor (after floating) on either the string north of the one I'm playing, or the p'up if I'm playing the B or E on 4 bangers.
I'd be ecstatic!! Local bands here in K-town rarely get to open for big names (almost never, actually)
. I don't know why that is, it's part of the venues' business aspect of things, I suspect.
Just wanted to say that while in NYC for a few gigs, I had to use a rental bass. It was a 62 RI p-bass. Played solo, it sounded good. But wasn't gelling in the mix. Needless to say, I was having Lakland withdraws. Now I'm not one to blindly say that because it's not a Lakland it sucks (though you all would get a kick out of that). I like a variety of basses, Lakland is my favorite though. So, I'm just saying, it was tough.
On the brighter side, my Skyline Decade is en route to my house. It should arrive a day or two after I get home. I will return and report after I spend some time with it.
Cool. Wanna see what a P man thinks about a Decade's sound. I've not played one yet.
we were asked by the venue if we wanted to play it.
we have actually been getting ALOT of exposure in the hartford-springfield,MA area.
getting played on 2 of the bigger rock stations in the area.
it's all because of my Lakie- bass tone!!
Doude,
as I said, I find the idea interesting. It is the body VS. pups VS. mm-shaped pickguard that doesn't match to my eye. It is a friendly support to say which looks better and which worse
Gotcha on the knobs! What do you have in your head? Hmm...V/B usually don't go together, so you either up to a V/V, mid, bass/treble config without a passive mode OR a 2-band pre possibly with an active/passive switch...
Now what is it?
Personally...I don't like the stacked knobs on that body shape either. So I'm a "nah" on the guard and the stacked knobs. Now there are two bass flavors together, and it ain't no Reese's!
Says the guys with the mismatched pups... Sheesh...
I actually agree with you on the Doude's planned new bass, though I think that just giving it the standard 55-XX guard might help a lot.
That isn't two different styles.
The 44-94 body and those stacked knobs are like a tuxedo with shorts.
That isn't two different styles.
We could argue that, but since I turned 38 years of age four hours and seven minutes ago, I'm too old for that shift.
But all this chat's making me pine for a PJ, strangely...
He he he! Wow...you are old!
Happy Birthday! Here's your PJ!

The upper horn reminds me of the DJ replacement....
