Man that's the weirdest looking "fuzz" pedal I've ever seen for a bass guitar there in front of it. Of course I'd have to hear what it sounds like. Is that one of those fuzz/wah pedals or something more of a fuzz/meow? What happens when you step on it while playing?

Mine's a different color, but when I step on it, it screams and bites back.

Howdy! Ok, so here's my modded SR750. I've now added a seymour duncan pickup booster circuit to the bass. The one knob gives up to 25db of gain, and the toggles are coil taps and pickup selectors. The bass sounds fantastic. What do you guys think?

Those are the direct replacement U.S. bartolini pickups. As I've posted someplace else the MK1's seemed to have a true flat response and very high clarity... but the new barts sound like great bass pickups and have their own character. The MK1's did not sit in the mix as well as the replacements... too sterile.

Yes, I spray painted the bridge with Belton. So far it's holding up and is a lot cheaper than ordering a $60+ replacement. I've also put on hipshot ultralite tuners and now the bass balances perfectly.

I'm in the midst of modding my SR. It was an SR300. Now, with the help of EMG electronics and Hipshot hardware, it should rock! I routed out a larger bridge cavity to fit an EMG 35DC.

How much were the Barts and where did you get them?

Thx
