I'm thinkin I'm going to modify my Schecter with the Aguilar OBP-3 preamp, too.  I've heard nothing but good things about the Aguilar.  If I do preamp and pickups, I might as well get another bass.

i totally feel where u comin from. i dont want to do all that either. but nothin i've tried gives me the same feel as my schecter (probably the ocean basses) because i dont like the wide string spacing. so if i get another bass it'd be a shecter (which puts me at square one). hopefully that aguilar preamp does the EMGs enough justice so i dont have to do any more mods.

Well, for a second bass, I'm lookin at the BTB555MP (http://www.guitarcenter.com/shop/product/buy_ibanez_btb555mp_electric_5string_bass?full_sku=515086%2e008) or an SX or Douglas from Rondo Music.  If I get one from Rondo, I know I'm going to swap out pickups and make mods.  If I get the BTB, I'm pretty sure I won't be doing anything to it.

+1 on that, I've tried fenders, musicman, and all other top rated basses but the schecter has the best feel and playability for me...

I 've rewired all my basses back to 9vlt and the reason I did this is because I think a 9vlt has plenty of headroom and it's a lot more musical sounding. I found the 18vlt to be real clickish and sterile sounding not to mention I got sick of changing batteries every 3 weeks
