Pretty cool.
Been thinking of getting a Spring Theory + RRR to cover all the reverb bases.

pretty much the only reason I have not bought one yet. i need to look into how much effort it would be to gank the active pickups/ electronics and replace them with passive components. because dang they play nice!
One pickup, passive -- easy peasy!
Very interesting information here:

Hells yeah! I'd be interested in how that pickup sounds wired passively...passive...in passive. That way.
I had a MM-style pickup from GFS that just kinda sounded like a weak Jazz bridge pickup with the tone rolled off. I think that's because it was GFS though.

Well someone in that thread did say something about them being low-output and designed for pre-amps. I wonder if I could just have a pedal that attenuates the signal going into pedals, then disengage it as a clean boost

I've played around on a buddy's OLP which is totally passive. I was impressed how much it sounded like a Jazz bass, to be honest.

Played a Peavey Deuce 2x12 combo through an Emperor 2x15 bass cab earlier... Surprisingly awesome.

Have a guy possibly wanting to trade his cherry suburst tele deluxe for my '64 Gibson acoustic. Kind of mixed about it as I like the LG1, but I'm too afraid of ruining it and would really love a telecaster.
