Sam told me about that pickup combo and it really intrigued me. I think it was ChrisLoe that tried it out on his NS-4 but I could be mistaken but the consensus was the J pickup was a bit weak sounding so he tried it with a DC at the bridge and was blown away. I have to say, it really has me thinking but I would probably want to hear clips first.

I agree! I'll be waiting for that combo review too!
Funny though...with my EMG 40P5/40J OBP-3 combo, I don't get that or noticeable vol. drop when switching to the 40J Bridge pup. It give a healthy growl though! :bassist:

Sam has made comments to me a few times about how I am not a phone person so my solution was to install Skype. It's like a happy medium for me and I don't mind chatting on camera or through IM.

oh you're so lucky to be able to Skype. I like talking on Skype and Google messenger. Without home Internet we have to drive some where that has broadband. Which is only 3 miles to our county airport and it's free Broadband, wireless and Cat5 line. :)

Looks like we'll be moving further down state, probably around August, or sooner. Depending on when my retirement comes thru...still no broadband there though...I'll probably order a T1 line. :D

My first ever bass guitar buy. A Spector legend 4 string bass guitar. Sounds better then it looks. And it looks superb. Love the sleek and slippery neck and the shape is beautiful definitely worth the $500 I paid. Any care tips from you guys? May I he added to the club?

A little late to the conversation but I tried the 40P5/DC combo in my NS-5XL and liked it much better than the 40P5/40J combo. I've got both DC's back in for the moment since I really need to give that config it's due but I think I will likely go back to the 40P5 for the neck pickup.

I did that for a wile in my rebop. It sounded pretty good, eventually went to DC's though in that bass. Cool!

I'll gladly volunteer my services to anyone in our club...I took studies in electronics in high school, also an extensive USAF electronics schooling for Jet Aircraft Weapons Systems troubleshooting/Repair Technician. I was in the USAF 25 1/2 years. Soldering is second nature for me. Please Feel free to PM me for any soldering needs you may have and don't feel comfortable tackling it yourself. Peace!
