the sound we hear is ??????? an instrument is an instrument and a mic is a part of it- it will always in the electric world be the moest inportant part- and you should be satisfied half on the scale-of standard if you are a good player- my fionce love s her squier neck humbucker presisjon bass- bought last year- we are to freaky about equipment- we males!
Could you let me know how you get on with the squier pro tone set up like a strat plus ?, I see a pro tone going fairly cheap and I would love the strat plus sound from a cheaper alternative.
