fleaworshiper134 · 12-21-2007, 03:52 PM

is there a cheap bass with a toggle switch, or some way i can add one to a bass?

you mean active/passive (2 positions) or pickup blend (usually 3 or more) kind of switch?

oh - and what kind of music do you want to play?

well, with one of those switches the 2 I can think of the top of my head are an Ibanez ATK or a Musicman (almost all models).

but hey - what would you limit your choices with such a thing?

for what you're playing, I'd go with either a jazz bass (maybe an SX or a Fender MIM) or with a G&L L-2500 tribute

I think you mean tim c? :P

if you don't mind me asking - why exactly do you feel you need the toggle?

Add one in yourself or get a Whammy Pedal for the "Scratching" effect.

Also you can find a nice SCHECTER with a Toggle Switch. Yet i still dont understand why you would need one?
