Opposite?
I thought you were as mad as I am going in the same direction.
Okay, so were equally mad with different headings.
I'd agree with you there.Opposite?

By the way, how do you like the Line 6 pre-amp?
I myself am getting a Tech 21 SansAmp for my pre-amp.
Yup, that's true.
Because of that, you are my only friend here on TalkBass.
Actually that is bad news for you.
We need to start a "Lonley Hearts" Thread for ya!
I'm not a fan of the CV's pastel blue either, but there's no denying its got tone!
Drat, all my Blackadder quotes involve cunning foxes,TALLY HO! You mad Irish royster doyster you!
Oh, and in on topic news, my Squier P-Bass TB(the mudbucker one) is getting a mod, and I might be buying a new P bass in April, I need(want
) a good five string.
) a good five string.
I made a thread about looking for a new amp in the amp section.
In short: the POD is a great toy, but I'm in the process of forming a new band and I need something more simple and straight forward.
I might be getting a Paradriver also maybe, still not sure what amp I should get. (GK, Hartke,... preamp?...)

I got a P-bass so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a jazz.

Cool. Darkstar pickup?
5-string P-bass? ....
Man, you're on a frenzy.
Enjoy!
The Mark Hoppus?!
Three way series/parallel/single, *hopefully* in single mode it'll have a Darkstarish sound, as it'll still be a huge output pickup.Cool. Darkstar pickup?

Well, I've wanted a good five string for a while, while my Squier J Delux is nice, the neck tires me quickly, and at 34" the B is a little floppy(my Jazz in BEAD is not floppy though, so??? to that),
and I couldn't decide on a good V, turns out Lakland are making a P5 Bob Glaub, as I also wanted to try a Lakland, two birds one stone, I'll be in Chicago for a holiday in April, so the price should be right too!
The neck, while longer, should be smaller overall, which is what I want in a 5.Should be a mighty backup to my Roscoe Beck, which I play most in a P, or P/J, or P/MM sounding config, by the way.
OK, I talk smack(in my head)about all these silly clubs, but since my P is in my avatar it'll be easy to post a pic. It's a slightly-butchered 73- routed for 3rd(now-disconnected)knob, BA-I, shoddy refin. The best part is the genuinely figured alder(yes)! B-neck, medium weight. i keep it tuned DGCF; for some reason it just sounds great down there. Number, please. 
I know You probably rarely hear this, but I played a gig through my teacher's Tech 21 SansAmp rackmount RBI preamp through a Samson 1200 Power amp and a GK 4x10 cabinet, and I have to say the tone was impressive.
I bought the small stompbox version, the PBDR.
I'd suggest with that, usually you can find the RBI (tube amp emulator) cheap on eBay and a good power amp.
My days of pickguard indecision are over. Just picked up this lot on the bay to add to my already expanding collection.

Now maybe I can figure out what guard I truly want on my bass.

When I bought the bass from BassNorthWest they told me it had a non-functional piezo of some sort under the bridge, so I assumed the extra knob dialed in piezo. When I had it rewired the luthier found that the knob controlled a passive distortion module(!)I guess somewhat like the Black Ice unit for guitar- no piezo. I had him yank it of course & restore it as close to original as was practical, but since removing the pot w/leave an ugly hole, I figured why not just leave it. I love this bass but, like my sig implies, I could live w/an MIJ or two(hint, hint..).
