I agree with this too, but going from short scale to 35" is a BIG jump.
Only if you have pussy hands or tendinitis...
LOL
Any suggestions for replace the pickups????
Put an active pre in that bitch and call it good to go!
If we're going to go all spending money and shit.

I agree with Chet. The Ernie Ball basses sound okay solo but not too great in the mix.

Weird, I happen to feel the opposite. The majority of the time, I don't love the tone of a Ray solo but gotten great results when EQ'd properly in a mix.
I still think G&L is a winning result no matter which model they choose.
As much as I hate the feel and playability of Warwicks, they're a great choice for their unique midrange growl and tone... 'speccially playing the metalzzz
LOL
