The first Ibanez I ever played was a friend's Iceman bass in highschool. It was white w/ active pickups. It played really nicely (even better when he actually had all 4 strings on it) and sounded killer. My only problem with it was that it was totally neck-heavy. Take your hand off the neck...

I don't really go for the ultra-saturated/scooped tone anymore, but back when I did I put the following in front of my amp (which is a Crate Vintage Club 30, not a metal amp at all, but great for the music I do now). BOSS FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz. This has 3 settings: 1) Vintage Fuzz, 2) Modern Fuzz...

Being a big fan of the absurd, I find this concept intriguing. The only concern that I can think of is the thickness of the body. Is a ministrat thinner than a normal one?

You could get 2 ART Tube MPs. I got one from Amazon.com because someone gave me a $50 gift certificate and I needed an outboard phantom power supply for a condenser mic. I think it was $39. It's pretty good as a DI box on bass, kinda punches it up a little. I haven't tried it with a guitar...

Telecaster output jacks aren't bolted to the body with screws like a strat, the little metal recessed area that the actual jack is held to with washers is just kinda stuck into a hole in the wood. I'm constantly whacking it back into place on mine.

My Crate sounds awesome. I've had a Crate Vintage Club 30 since 95 or 96, and it's an excellent sounding amp. All Class A tube, 12ax7s & EL84s, one 12" speaker. The clean channel sounds big and bell-like up until it breaks up around 6 or 7 (depending on how hot your pickups are) with a nice...
