Shame...I thought that this layout was innovative and might even catch on.

I'm (sort of) with @NancyJohnson on this. I'm not convinced that spending lots of money on new pickups gets you anything more than you could get by adjusting the settings on your amp. "I want pickups with more punch in the mid range"...I'm pretty sure that this would be possible with a bit of fiddling. For the price of your replacement pickups I would be happy to come and fiddle with your amp settings. (This is NOT a euphemism).

Those prices must look enticing to those interested in getting a mid price bass. Can only increase Sire's market share.

At this year's SE Bash Laurence Cottle did one of the seminars. For those who don't know Laurence check out the artists he's played with and what tracks he's recorded. He says that he practices 5-6 hours every day - and you can tell. He plays effortlessly in all styles, note perfect, never misses a beat. Inspirational? No! Pisssed me right off - completely demoralised. Till that seminar I thought that I was "alright " and could hold my own. If I'd put in the same hours practicing would I be as good? Unlikely - for me, like many others here, playing bass is a way to vent my artistic streak...if it was my job I would probably come to hate it.

Very Ritter-esque...

Papa don't preach - Mad Onna
