I took this beats to rehearsal last night and boy does it kick ass, that Dimarzio pickup is staying put! I have to move the strap button to the heel of the neck, I can't get used to the way it hang /sits, very difficult to get to the upper register. It had been a long time since I played a bass with a Dimarzio P pup in it. I had remembered them being a bit woofy but not this thing, it cuts right through with big brass balls, very lively lots of harmonics! The band really liked it to.
