The perfect bass!

[Jordan_Frerichs]

i was up half the night trying to find out what i wanted to do with my bass. (the options were a couple of upgrades, or buy a olp ray. i finally got to sleep, and i was dreaming that i was playing my bass, only it was upgraded. played like a drEAM (BECAUSE IT WAS ONE. LOL). it had a gold badass II bridge, gold knobs, gold tuning keys, dimarzio mini-precision humbuckers, and a mm pickup by the bridge.
is that a good pickup mix? any changes u would make? i am going to be installing photoshop this weekend, so i'll put up a pic of the final expectations.

I would buy the OLP Stingray.

why would gold knobs and tuning keys make it play better? that would just look cool.

yea, i think that squire might just be my backup. i will try to get my hand on a decednt fender to udgrade. then take the parts that i replace on the fender, and put them on the squier, and save the squier parts for backups for future projects

Definitely buy the OLP.

Stingrays = awesome.

yea i know. love the sound,but trying to figure out if itcould be made intgo a good hybrid with a p. love those 2. trying to find a way i can get that mm sound, and that p sound, and then play with the switches and get inbetween sounds.
my main snag is that they both fall in the same position, and position affects sound. rioght no i am working through the idea of mounting the mm pickup above the strings, so that the strings will be sandwitched between the pickups. worryed about mixed signals though. if that will be a problem, then the pickup would be adjustasble. could slide it over to the bridge area, or the left, by the neck. right know i am trying to find the affects of a above the string pickups just by them selves as a general idea.

Wtf where do you come up with these dumbass ideas?

[hazletbassist89]

that whole pickups above the strings thing would probably quickly dispatch any attempt at slapping, not to mention it might end up sounding like garbage.

Or it could be awesome, who knows?

it was an idea that someone gave me. HEY, i was looking though images on yahoo, and fond a pic from a guy that did the same thing. in it, the mm pickup, was practicly toutching the precision pickup. this made me line up the pics (to scale of each other) of an ernie ball, and a fender p, and the mm pickup is located just above the precision, instead of them lying in the same spot. this means that if i get the side of the mm pretty much touching the side of the precision pickup, they will both be in there respective positions. if i am right, will this allow be to get the precision sound, the mm sound, and the good mid-ranges?

(i will post the pic up later)
