Putting an additional J pickup into a Musicman...

No no no no........ what are you talking about????

that would be like trying to attach another leg to a human, why would you change a perfect desing??

 

It's been done.

It's called a Lakland.

 

I agree.

I wonder what Munji thinks?

 

I like laklands, but thats your opinion.
I think its a good idea about the MM. I thinking about that add. pickup dealy. Probably just a seymore d for me.

 

I must say that I love the flexibility of my EB Sabre (two buckers).

The tricky part for you will be finding a J pup that matches the MM bucker.

 

Iffin I'm gonna pat 3K for bass....it sure as hell better not look Fender ish. Lakland, I cast those mutha's OUT.

MTD on the other hand....

 

I despise all basses that don't look Fenderish, and if I'm going to spend 3 grand on a bass, I want it to look how I want it to.

 

bump that, i'm buying a rogue...

 

well, this is what my bass teacher did to solve the "ugly" problem with the HB and the J pickups, though expensive.

here is what he did:

he ripped the hb out of his MM and replaced it w/ a custom made hb with a MM style pickup on bottom, and a j pickup on top. Seymore duncan did the custom pickup for him, and it sounds GREAT. it has most of the perks of a hb and the perks of a j bass. i think that the custom made HB cost him around 500
