I reckon it's worth my CIJ 66RI with badass bridge and shed hot n dangerous custom pickups (original US specs included too). Atleast!

To a degree it probably is sad but I can't get my tone without an Ampeg 8x10 for some reason. That, rotosound strings and a sansamp are the biggest contributing factors to my tone. The bass doesn't seem to matter too much. I'm happy playing anything equipped with P, MM or J type pickups (or my grabber when it works), less so with a jazz these days though. Tempted to to trade it in for a ray or a G&L or even, in a shocking attempt to break out of the 70s a corvette $$ or a sandberg, my dream bass would probably be a wal because my favourite live sound to date is that produced by Justin chancellor of tool, or some sort of mm equipped p or j shaped beastie from hell. Although I have to admit big red x I do like the look of and have enjoyed reading about some of your super modern exercises in engineering and design and as Ou7shined knows I'm quite jealous of his avatar.

Haha ok that's a fair point. Although I'm a p/j toting heavy Ampeg 8x10 lugging stuck in the 70s although I'm only 23 type.

That it's not a common feature on many basses probably because it doesn't need to be. I think bass players on the whole fear change

They are awesome! I also like the Marshall guv for bass. Mine is modded though.

Filter preamp? I think I know why no one else does that.

I stand corrected. Ou7shined I reckon that's a mighty fine pickup config!

I dunno man. The straight edge on the bottom of the control cavity..... Looks suspiciously like it could be covered by chrome.

I have a boss TU-2 and a sansamp bddi. I'm pretty sure I don't need anything else. Guys with massive boards, how often do you use every pedal in it?

I agree with molan. Although G&L gets my vote. I think the L2000 and ASAT basses are amazing. Pluslets not forget the pedigree.

It must have started life as a telebass looking at the control cavity. This has me really interested. I vote build a sheehan tribute bass.

Is 78 even the right year for the tele bass to have the neck bucker?

Maybe it was supposed to be a tele bass, but then last thing on Friday afternoon someone realised they were a p bass short of an order and just monkey'd it together on the sly. Because he had a hot date to go home and get ready for and CBS weren't gonna pay him overtime were they? Money grabbing, neck mounting screw stealing (from the jazz) bastards!

I'd think shuker or 62RI with a grand. Or CIJ then upgrades. My upgraded CIJ is the dogs.
