I also have a DOD wah-wah, not exactly a Dunlop but its shorter range makes it easier for me to make regular wahs to the beat for those 70s sounding funk

i also use a slide i cut from a clothes-hanging stand (it's an aluminium tube)

I use a coral reef pick i fashioned myself - it just sounds very harsh on the attack
so you have the standard humbucker along with 2 single coils?...nice innovation with the slide by the way

Does that pretty much cut out all the interference that contributes to the buzzing you tend to get out of the single coils?

yeah, and I still get the bluesy tone I like by just using the single coil

and all three in unison gives a great metallic tone

and the first humbucker is very funky

which is great since I play multiple genres

that's right

My friend has a Rosewood SRV, you know it's the ones before they made the fret board from Pao ferro wood. Mostly likely it's a collectors item now. The SVR passed the price of an E.C. & Jeff Beck's Strat, I thought they were the same price a few years ago. Even the Road Worn Strats are pricey for what they are, so that squashes the idea for me of modifying one into a SVR-style Strat.

just got a freakin bonus so my first bass won't be a Gypsy Rose after all - it'll either be a Mexican Fender P or Jazz or a Squier Jazz
