I put Delanos in a cheapo KSD 5 string, and they seriously brought the bass to life like no other pickup change I have ever done. Granted the stock pickups were garbage, but I am certainly sold on what Delanos can do!
@blackybasser,
i like the spector and the mm... would like the stingray 5 classic, my finance-ministress has given veto!

Yeah the finance-ministress^^ But I can't complain, my girlfriend tells me always to buy an instrument when I have G.A.S.

neither can i, beside my sig-listed gear there's avri-strat, lp junior, guild acoustic, sigma 000-28vs... and plenty of amps, pedals, macs and iGear... my wife's generous with g.a.s. but the mm would break the budget (near 3500 Sfr)!

Just got a surprise from my wife today.
We stopped at Best Buy on the way to the grocery store to pick this up.
Best Buy is closing many, if not all their musical instrument departments.
Got this for $809.00 minus $56 I had on my Rewards card.
Oh... AND 18 months no interest.

@Gecko5,
Congratz! The bass is nice (as all P's) but the case is a monster, i prefer the old style Tweed or Black Tolex!

So I finally had some time, and all my basses were in one place, I decided to get a group shot.
Please forgive my camera skills…they are much like my playing…dark, blurry & mostly out of focus.
Left to right:
2012 Squier VM Jaguar Special HB – This bass is a recent acquisition, I don’t play it much, but it’s kinda fun to have around.
1994 MIM Fender Jazz – This one I play quite a bit. It's got TONS of "mojo" and it might be one of the best Jazz basses I've had, despite it's country of origin.
2008 MIA Fender Precision – This one gets 95% of my play time.
2012 “Franken P” – This one I just refinished in Fiesta Red Nitro, it’s 90% MIA Fender parts, with a “mystery” body, It’s likely going to be getting a LOT of playtime in the coming weeks.
2004 Squier Precision – This one was blue, I stripped it to wood, and threw a black guard & a HMB on it, plays sweet, It’s my “go to” bass if I gig in any crappy bars…
The weird 6 string thing on the floor is a 2010 Squier Strat…nuff said.

Very nice! All you still need now is a Tele!
....working on it
I'd love a CV Tele Thinline
I long ago accepted that I do bear some resemblance to the man, so there was noting even remotely offensive about your comment... In fact in this pic, I look even more like him

I must admit the Traben's more my speed than the J or P.
I might have seen one of those once...LOL
The fiver is one of the early neck through Kore models
but the one that always got the most attention was the 12 string bass. A friend has this one now. I want another one, but in black

It's a beauty I got as a destroyed body for 20 bucks on eBay. I bought a beat down neck,refretted it, straightened it and recoated it. I dropped in some EMG humbuckers, made my own bridge for it, cut a bigger pickgaurd, put new pots and wiring in it, threw on some new chrome pieces, made a custom "fading" pickup switch, and added my own beautiful red burst paint with heavy gloss. And now I have been offered 2,000 dollars by collectors and such. Lemme know what you guys think. Thanks a bunch!
