DO IT!!
I really, REALLY like the mudbuckers I put in. It's not the most versatile sound ever but what it does, it does well.
I wasn't sure how I'd like them but I'm totally enamored! I like neck+bridge even more than neck alone.

Did you get a full, rich sound? Or was it more just straight bass?
What kind of pickups did you use?

Unreal pedals. Awful time to be broke/saving.
What band?
Holyshitfireyeah to all three of those. And that goes for that dang fuzznugget of yours too!
He was in the mighty FLOOR on their first split 7" with Spazz.

The Boost RVB is awesome, I'm still gassing for a Wet though.
I plan to use one at the end of each chain going to two amps.

Hell yes! They never imported any of those into Canada, but I'd have bought one in a heartbeat.
Just for the record, it's one of the regular one single coil pickup re-issues, not that limited run. Also, it's $360, my mistake.
I'm torn, because I just stripped down my tele for this band I just joined and now this pops up.
I tried to convince myself not to buy this, but I did and I can't not be stoked on it.
Now I can use this as my main, since its light weight will be conducive to my flailing, and use my tele as a backup.

I'm having some issues with the nut on the Warmoth that I've been too lazy to fix.
I should have the pickguard for my '64 tomorrow, so it should be functional soon, though.
The melody maker will be tuned in drop c. It's white and I'm going to refinish it, but I'm not sure what color yet.

I think I came up with an idea. I have a jazz bass currently... maybe I can replace the current neck pickup with a dimarzio model J and then route a space for another pickup closer to the neck and drop my old neck pickup in there... on/off switch an volume knob for all three and an overall tone control, and finish it off with a new bridge and custom pick guard.
Anyone think this is a good/bad idea?
