The ASAT Bass was released a year or two too late for me, but most every one I see is highly worthy of serious GAS .......

Jumbodbassman; Please tell me how does the P split coil sound in the bridge position?

[jumbodbassman]

those pups are schaller /dimarzio so they are very hot. thats why i have switches for series/parallel which actually does something on these pups.   

 before these i had two  62 p bass ri in it.  the bridge pup sounded like a post 1972 j pup with out the hum and maybe a little thicker on the low strings.  If i were to do it again i would switch around the pups ( L sklar ) so that the part closest to the bridge would be the E A half.

nice sounding bass.  somewhat neck diver but manageable.  I don't use it enough.....  thinking abut putting some flats on it to thump it up

My only maple board at present is on my Bronco, which is rapidly assuming status as one of my favorite basses.  That TV Jones pickup I installed is an absolute joy!

where did you get the pup from??>

[Pilgrim]

Luthier named Jack Read.  He mentioned he had it as a take-out from an Electromatic Jr. Jet and I bought it.  I had no idea what a good pickup I was getting.  He said it was good, but I had no IDEA!

Was this a while ago? I thought Jack Read had dropped from sight.

Yes, it was 2-3 years ago...I don't recall exactly.  I had it sitting for a long time, intending to drop it in my Lyle hollowbody - but it was too tempting to put it in the Bronco.
