Well, I got the Geddy and it rocks. When I bought it, the guy at Long and McQuade showed me the new Fender basses with the S-1 Mod to change between paralell and series pick-ups, it sounded great, especially to have that extra versatility. Mind you he only played like four bars of a walking bass line. I didn't have the time to feel it out. What do you guys think about this mod. Is it really worth looking into? It would be less than a Hundred bucks to mod, very affordable. Drew
This thread has (hopefully) everything you need to know: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89180 I've done it to both my Jazzes (using a micro-switch), and it's been useful to have a slightly fatter tone a couple of times.
The S-1 switching mechanism is quite fiddly. You can do it yourself with either the suggested microswitch or a push-pull pot for far less.
