while im thinking of it....i wanna buy random bass parts on ebay, put them all together, put some pickups in it, and im set.
 
actaully, I am under the impression that Bartolini's are quite affordable. I will take a gander on the net to see if I can find them.

I haven't looked at pickups lately, but I thought EMG's were ACTIVE... not passive.
 
lol yeah my bad....had a brain fart there....but i could have sworn they made passives....ah oh well....

thanks for the links...im thinkin about getting better pickups instead of buying a new geetar...

my bands playing a show in march....so hopefully the band fund will be greater than 25 bucks lol :p
