NBD - Fender Cabronita Precision (Warning: additional 6-string content)

My new Fender Cabronita Precision bass, bought off AndyDye from around these parts. Sounds lovely, really crisp but with a round chocolatey-ness (a bit like a kitkat). Also it seems I'm developing a bit of a thing for strange combinations of telecaster headstock, double cut body and weird pick guard...

Sounds awesome. Aren't kitkats more square than round?

You make a good point! Maybe one that has been too close to a radiator?

Having been GAS free for several years now I am slightly tempted with the Squier version and I don't even eat chocolate.

I hear the Squier version is good bang for the buck and has the exact same pickup, and I was thinking about pouncing on a used one if it came up, but this one showed up first!

Surely with it's combination of round and crispy it's more similar to a Lion Bar?

Would love a pair of those Fidelitrons for a project!

Yeah I'm sure they would work well in the bridge, given that some of the Gretsch basses feature two pickups. Even better would be a regular fidelitron plus something like a TV jones thunder-mag ([url="http://tvjones.com/pickups-2/bass-pickups/thunder-mag/"]http://tvjones.com/pickups-2/bass-pickups/thunder-mag/[/url]), which supposedly creates rickenbacker-esque tones. I'm not sure which would work best in the treble/neck positions though...
