That's hot. I was aware of Brubaker doing this but I've been lobbying for more bass manufacturers to do this. Same with pickups. Just pull 'em out and pop in a new set! By the way, I loved the Sadowsky pre-amp the best of those 3!

No doubt! That's an awesome idea....I wonder how much each module would cost? Gotta have em in lefty configuration too!!!

I was def feelin that Aguilar OBP-3 pre the most but the Bart was def a very close 2nd!

Ok, I think I'm sold onto what I want for Christmas. I think this is the best idea since sliced bread. Many different basses, with one bass. WOW!!! Time to do some more research on this company.

I stopped myself several times from posting a "REALLY?!" response.

I got smashed earlier for this, but FINGERS and TOUCH and PRACTICE can make a squire sound as good as anything. Play it, and SHUT UP!

No, Really.

that module is a 1K upgrade over the regular price

I was just looking at that on the site. Not to mention I'm guessing these module have to run at least 300 bucks and he has 5 of them and wants more.

But considering his a "featured artist" I don't he's taking too big of a financial hit from these upgrades
I must say that is very cool, but I don't see this catching on. Now if someone were to make quick change pickups.

LOL quick change pickups? How would that work?....Soon we'll see quick swap necks.
We might as well do lego basses

Wow I'm definitely gonna check this bass out!

A friend of mines says the wait on his brubaker was 2 years... so if you want it for Christmas, that prop won't happen.

Hey basspicker this is off topic but are you the person playing on james andrews cd cuz i thought it was tim rawbiz.

ddwilkins · « **Reply #13 on:** August 28, 2009, 08:12:02 AM »

With the added price tag of 1k for the module, I won't be perchasing a bass just for those features. Cool concept, but the price must come down before I'll do that. I might just see about creating my own modules. How hard could it be? Who knows? there's only one way to find out.

DWBass · « **Reply #14 on:** August 28, 2009, 08:43:32 AM »

Is the $1K price for the modules or for the modification to the bass to be able to interchange modules? I can't see paying $1K for each module!

jeremyr · « **Reply #15 on:** August 28, 2009, 08:48:50 AM »

I would hope that you receive at least 3 modules for the 1K price.

Kelz-Da-Basshead · « **Reply #16 on:** August 28, 2009, 08:50:58 AM »

whats the website to it so i can clarify some stuff for myself.

Kelz, that's definitely Rawbiz on that record. Have you heard it?
