Thanks all for your help. Sounds really good. The pickups are the $79.00 ebay ones from Korea. They are not Lollar's (what I have in my T-Bird) but the first go around bodes very well. The pickup placement gives it more of a P-Bass-on-Angel-Dust vibe.... Very in your face.:thumbsup:

This is a stock 2011 Fender BlackTop Precision. I swapped in a Jazz neck (MIM) w/ Hipshot tuners. The pick ups dropped right in. No routing etc. I used some olld dense foam packing material to make spacers under the pickups. The rings are glued on. I cut the heads off some screws and glued them on for effect. I had to shave about 2mm of material from the pickguard so the neck pick up would fit. I used a utility knife and a file to get the job done.

This is what the fit Looked liked:

Total Cost: $705.00- $170 (sold the Precision neck on TB)= $535.00

Looks rockin' - ftr, one of Leo's other bass (G&L L-2000) was a 2 bucker pu bass that is by most accounts including my own one of the most versatile basses ever made. Enjoy your hybrid. :bassist:
 
No... The sore muscles is a side effect after the ECT if you don't administer some kinda muscle relaxant before the ECT.
The other part... being sedated... kinda ruins the whole thing, if you can't feel it.

You do not have to be sedated to have a depolarizing muscle relaxant adminstered. However, it is generally preferred because of the terror of complete paralysis and the necessary accompaniments (such as intubation).
