Don't worry guy. I got 3 copies of your book for Christmas last year. Having already bought it myself

Maybe a preamp pedal, Sansamp BDDI or simular would help? I use one for our C stuff. It really kicks things up a notch.

Grabbers aren't really too metally. It has a loud pickup and while it is a bit of a one trick pony it's a very impressive trick that it knows. The sliding pickup doesn't really change the tone too much. I generally leave mine right up to the neck. Grabbers rock. They don't do much else though. Also the neck dive is a right pain in the ass until you get used to it.

I have a grabber. It's got a seriously good rock tone. Kinda like a p but with more bite, it's disgusting with a sansamp. It doesn't take kindly to changes in temperature though. The jazz is a staple for me. I'd get an M/CIJ and get some hot pickups in it, wizard 84s or Hammers or simular. The geddy is nice but as a previous owner it's impractical. The neck is too slim for it's own good. There's a nice CIJ in the for sale section courtesy of OldGit. The colour isn't for me but the neck is to die for in terms of speed, comfort and craftsmanship. I'd definatly recommend one.

Hot jazz?

I may check that lemmy book out. Is it along the same lines as guys book?

It has to be said. I effing love Guy Pratt. He's the player Floyd always deserved and the only author who has ever kept my attention all the way through a book.

Epi T-bird was a mistake, as was the Warwick Streamer Stage 1 V, infact the only bass i have which isnt a disappointment out of the box is my grabber. I hated fenders until I modded a P and a J

mines on Rotos too. I love them on my fenders but they just dont work on the T-40. I might try those picatos too

Id go for an Aerodyne or a McKagan, or if you're feeling vintage an ibanez blazer with pjs. or what Bassassin suggested

thats what it looks like! I take the ibanez comment back. Still don't like it though.

I really dont like it. looks like an ibanez

The alleva just looks like a TE T-bass to me. Body wise anyways

Wilcommen mit das forum That is/might be welcome to the forum in german for anyone who doesn't know

I've been tempted to sell but it just records so ridiculously well! Mine is a f***in nightmare live though. Any heat and the intonation just ceases to be, this is true of every one I know of too. Plus I'd be hard pushed to find another one. Mine doesn't have it's case, has been sanded down (by the looks it was once black). 40% of the cost for me was shipping and tax, I imported it from California.
