Sounds cool, I like a toggle set up over blend, personally; pics?

Looks great & I'm glad you're pleased with the tones

Basswood?

What how dare you! Lol Although nothing against basswood as its actually a very good tone wood.

The wood is in fact mahogany. Surprised?

[/quote]The hue made me think mahogany, but the grain pattern sent me down the basswood route (that and the weight). I shouldn't be surprised however, as my old Ibanez SR was mahogany bodied and was light as feather.

Indeed I didn't think it was mahogany till I was told by Jim fleeting himself. I always thought mahogany was heavy and darker in colour.

[/quote]I guess that is because that's what we have been told for years. Its obviously only Gibson mahogany that weighs a ton

I've come to the thinking that if Warwick made a passive P-bass style, that would be my ideal bass. So, I'm thinking of taking the pre out of my Streamer Stage 1 and fitting different pups. I'll be keeping the original parts though, so I can put them back when the time comes to sell..

It might be worth swapping out the MEC pickups for a set of original spec (ie. Not "X" series) EMG PJs. I did this to my SS1 and it's added so much more "thump" and "woomf" (if you know what I mean).

I'm thinking something similar. Right now I'm enjoying some Jess Loureiro hand wound pickups in another bass. They sound great and I'm thinking of getting a PJ set to go in the SS1.
