You should be able to fit a class D power module into that Meat DI so that you could use it like an Orange Bass Terror for when you can't be bothered to lug it's bigger brother about!

Are Chromes OK to string through the body? Most manufacturers recommend against stringing flats through the body because the sharp angles can cause them to break. Being more flexible, TI flats are OK, but I'd double check first.

Headstock logo looks just like my 2004 American Standard, but it doesn't have the string through body or S1 switch. Don't Highway One's have a 70s logo?

I read on Talkbass a report from someone who tried the 2011 and 2012 Precisions side by side that the newer pickups were more vintage/smooth, less modern/agressive. If true, probably same goes for the Jazz.

I don't like the bridge pickup by itself but it sounds great in combination with the P. I am in two minds whether to trade up to a 1025X or mod this one. Or do both! If I was to fit new pickups, I wonder if anyone on here would be able to fabricate a new set of chrome pickup surrounds? I don't want to refin or cover it up with a scratchplate. If I did go this route, I could sell you the stock ones, Such!

I've got a Badass V ready to fit to mine and right about trying new pickups too. If you're gonna be re-routing and filling in holes, instead of buying another donor bass, you could either buy two matching 5 string P pickups or get a Musicman style humbucker for the bridge. I like the look of the Delano pups mainly because their huge pole pieces look cool! Another option is to get some custom pickups made that for straight in but that wouldn't come cheap.

If you get to a shop that has one, check out the Ampeg Micro VR & SVT210AV stack. I'm using one of those cabs with the Terror and it has the classic Ampeg 810 sound whilst being light as a feather and very reasonably priced.

Without a doubt you should definitely try the Orange Terror Bass - much more grunt than the Streamliner. Not tried the Walkabout though but never heard a bad word said about them except for the fan noise, which is fixable.

That guitar amp has feet on the side?! Not sure I'd want to prop that up on it's end.

You just want a simple A/B box like the EHX Switchblade: [url="http://www.hotroxuk.com/electro-harmonix-switchblade-passive-channel-selector.html"]http://www.hotroxuk.com/electro-harmonix-switchblade-passive-channel-selector.html[/url] Do you really need that though? You don't always have to have passive bass into passive input, active bass into active input. If you are trying to even the volumes out when switching between two basses, this is not the best solution unless your amp has separate gain controls for each input.

The demo version looks ten times better, and it would look ten times better again without the [b][font=comic sans ms,cursive]fancy script font![/font][/b]

I blame whoever put it at a 99p starting bid!

Oh good grief, not again. I have good fish, and good chips - do I need tomato ketchup? Depends if you like the flavour!

It's good enough for Alabama Shakes! I have found that a very light piece of foam that does almost nothing down by the bridge sounds very good when moving it up towards the pickup. Still searching for the perfect mute that mutes evenly across the uneven string heights. Might have to get a Bassmute after all.

How long strings 'last' depends on how zingy you like them to sound. Since I play bass and not treble, I've had my current rounds on for almost a year!

I would recommend practicing to drum patterns instead of a basic metronome. Or jam along with some old school funk records!
