Having a P-pup at the bridge is definitely a good option. It works well on its own (Vox Standard) and gives extra attack when used with a P-pup in the normal position. Hmmm. Now I'm wondering what it would sound like with a P pup at the bridge, and a J at the neck. [b]:[/b]wanders off to look for a castle near [u]discreet[/u][b]:[/b]

Hmm. Anyone tried flattened-5th tuning? That would give open octaves...

Flats and rounds?

If it was me I'd change the knobs for something darker, but to each etc. These are fine basses, you won't be sorry you bought it

This thread has definitely jumped the moon.

David Bowie is The Knife's silent partner.

Amp with headphone socket

There's usually one up on eBay. I wouldn't have it if you paid me, personally.

Fireworks. I hate them.

Got a black one somewhere... I need to get it out and play with it (oo-err Matron!). As I recall, it's pretty good. (It's on my list of "I don't play this, I should sell it", so if you're after a second-hand one then let me know. Cheeky, or what...)

Hmm.

I put a bass on mine once, and it sagged backwards into the wall with a nasty clunk.

Oddly, I'm not "amazed by how rare this is". Sometimes things are rare for a very good reason...

Vox Standards had DiMarzios, IIRC. Mine is a bit weedy but has great tone if you crank it up
