I started poking around in the SR series stuff in the 2004/5 catalog now & found the SRX has pickups like this:

NBD (pre-owned) Ibanez BTB300 (MIK)

I'm reminded of the other Ibanez mutt I picked up.
I drove 5 hours to get a MIJ Ibanez S540 in Maryland, but it had a S470 neck on it!
If I'd known at the time that Nita Strauss has one very similar, I'd have kept it:

Well, Ibanez got back to me & it's a BTB300.
Last week I found a SRX in the same pawn shop, same pickups only lighter.
The BTB is pretty heavy as well, & the SRX was more than 55% less than the BTB I'd just picked up
The SRX even has a nicer case than the Ibanez case my BTB came in
This is why I always try and buy from someplace where I can return things
If it had been a GC buy, I'd just buy the SRX & return the BTB, but the pawn shop only takes returns if they give you back 50% of what you paid. (and that's after they keep the taxes)

Tomorrow I'm putting Cobalt Flats on it & I'll be tuning it to Eb for Motörhead songs & anything else in Eb.
(Van Halen, with DLR... unsure if they HAD TO with Sammy)
Cobalt Flats made a difference & now the two PFR pickups basses don't sound the same. It was like someone turned up the volume, putting those flats on there:

Where could I get new screws for the TRC?
As you can see the slots are pretty rounded out on the upper right one & the bottom left one is similar.

After your first kidney stone, you will quit with that stuff.
No more Dr. Pepper for me.

Today, I spotted a BTB400QM in a pawnshop 1/2 hour drive from my place.
Price tag: €139.90 (=US$ 160.00), negotiable, in principle.
MIK. The body is black with a swirl effect on the top.
What music style can I play with this ?

I can't really answer the question, but I can show you the parts list:

Those are DFR (Dynamic Full Range) pickups, and mine are PFR (Passive Full Range) with the exposed pole pieces. They might sound quite different.
Go try it out, you'll probably love it!
It looks like the preamp in that one isn't the same as the one in mine either.
