A P/J sounds great with both pickups blended, but I think a soloed J bridge pup sounds a bit weak. A P/MM (with the MM in the sweet spot right up close to the P) doesn't sound as good blended but it does give you a more usable soloed bridge pickup. Options - add a coil split switch to the MM to give you just the south coil - this should sound close to the single coil J and perhaps blend better with the P. Especially if you use that funky Delano pickup that is half J and half MM. Or, what I would love to do, but would ideally need an unrouted body as a blank canvas - 70s position J + sweet spot MM + reverse P!

I see you're now rocking the Blueberry! This should be mandatory on every bassist's board!

I also wonder what the Suhr Buffer is bringing to the table when you already have plenty of buffers already in the form of the G30, Thumpinator, Wonderlove (switchable), Empress (if it's always on) and Tech21?

Not ideal for someone trying to sell a Ray4 though!

Here you go...

You'll want a DPDT on-on-on switch for that - I have a diagram somewhere, I'll post it up later!

If you happen to already own an iPhone/iPad, the Line6 Sonic Port is what I would go with. All of the other cheap multis have infuriating interfaces, I'd much rather touch and swipe on a nice screen, plus there's so much more you can do with it.

EMG Geezer Butler sigs get a lot of love, and they come with a solderless harness so you can transplant without soldering and potentially harming the resale value of a vintage instrument!

I got a red tort Precision plate from these guys for £4.37 delivered... the tort is nowhere near as nice as the picture though, very dark and dull. Cheapest on the net though! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/260889298413?roken=cUgayN

I only use suede-backed straps for that very reason!

Indeed! I was merely pointing out that Billy's comment might not hold true in some situations (regardless of the quality of the instrument), sad as that may be.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1443990602' post='2879329'] Awesome. You could walk into any situation with that gear and command respect. [/quote] I'm sure it's a great bass - but most people haven't heard of the brand and to be honest the logo makes it look really cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if some people would assume you got it from the Argos catalogue! But then again they would probably think the same if they saw a Sadowsky, so who cares what they think! Point is, it's sad but true that some people won't give you respect unless your Fender-shaped bass has Fender on the headstock.
