Different tack here. Try one of these, http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BDI21.aspx, I think it will get you where you want to go. Nothing wrong with EMGs either in my opinion. They're great pickups.

If you get rid of it now you'll probably never afford to replace it. I'd keep it and get rid of the cheaper one.

Have you thought of going down the DIY route? Bill's T39s are well worth a look and build. Martin quality at Behringer prices. http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/T39.html

What they said. One p/u to each side then it's either p/u or both.

I've got a pair of these, http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/lighting/stage/prolight-equinox-mega-bar-system, controlled by one of these, http://www.thomann.de/gb/botex_dc2448_light_operator.htm, and it's fantastic. Our lighting guy does a really great job manually controlling the desk but you can also use it automatically with all the presets and chases. Recommended. The lights also come with a footswitch controller so you don't actually need a DMX controller but it does make for a more versatile light show.

Mine cost £220 new in 1972. Would have been £200 but it was an extra 10% for left handed. It would also have been en extra 10% for a colour instead of sunburst.

I've got a 3 position L/P type on mine, works great.

Just to let you know, still can't upload.

First thing to come off my P Bass and off the Rick as well.

Not a lot of difference in the coil tap to my ears, especially on the top string. More variation in the EQ.

I've been trying to upload photos as well and it 'aint 'aving it.

I personally would never use a gig bag, just don't trust them to protect my bass, especially in the back of the van.

He says that Atlantic Records "copped those two songs from them and gave them to Pickett" to record. Pickett did both songs a little faster but the seeds came from the Rascals' versions. According to music historian Tom Shannon the song started as a joke when singer [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Della_Reese"]Della Reese[/url] wanted a new [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang"]Ford Mustang[/url].

All my Hiwatts sounded the same, sort of like Hiwatts actually. That's why I used them.
