Oh, I plan on going up in resistance, haha - I was afraid of going that high at first, but now I have lost that fear!
I really enjoy some nice metallic clanking tones, though...I think I'm subconsciously trying to make my bass sound like my avatar on here.
PS - yeah, the Lo-Riders are the closest things to Rotos I have found as well=)
I have basses without any pots...wide open, just switches....not my Rics though!
