You are as GOOD a bass player as you are a guitar player!!!  

(Note: Clock The Wolf knows little if anything about what bass playing

entails, other than going thumpa-thumpa-thump on one string)

sounds GOOD. Made my computer speakers nearly jump of the shelf!! What's the buzz? Is the string hitting the fret?

Like it, and it has a nice sound.

Thanks Steve and Bug - it's OK but it needs the nut filing down a bit. You'd like it for slide bass, Bug !

Yeah, I used the 0.068 PIO. I was trying to replicate the Danelectro Longhorn hardware: lipstick pickup, 100k vol pot, 1M tone pot and a 0.1 cap.  The 0.068 is close enough and I love that PIO sound.  I put a 0.047 in the Brown Cohiba 2 to replace a cheap little cap and the difference was amazing, much more depth to the tone.
