(x) Tummy Contour

Your bass has tummy contour specified. This is the tummy contour on Raging Bass
 

 
This is an extra carving that helps the bass stay in closer to your body with greater comfort.  
 
You expressed an interest in exchanging this feature for bass and treble switches. Please let me know.

Ok...I know what the Tummy contour means.
So... My choice is.... I want to change the only Avalone inlay option to one of the switches, and remain the Tummy contour option. And about the additional cost for one remaining switch, I'll pay for that. Okay? :D

Susan will reply to this thread tomorrow with the price difference for AXY and FatBoy pickups.  
 
Sorry, I do not have any sound samples for you to compare. From my last email:  
quote:AXY pickups are standard. These are identical in size to FatBoy pickups. The FatBoy pickups have larger magnets internally. FatBoy pickups are made like AXY but wound on the magnets from Series I/II pickups. They have a broader frequency response.
 
Some people think that the FatBoy is too bassy in the neck position. FatBoy pickups are slightly  more expensive than the standard AXY pickups.
If you later want to buy a spare FatBoy pickup, you can experiment or you can have them installed from the beginning.
 
Maybe some folks that have tried both pickups will join in this discussion and add comments about how the pickups sound different.

I want to get other's opinion. And I don't know the additional price on it. Valentino said he could get the better sound after changing the pick-up to FatBoy, so I am interested in it.

I checked with Susan and the FatBoy pickup is an additional $50.

Ok. I'll install the Fat boy for my neck pickup. But, I heard the Fatboy is louder than AXYs, so if I turn the Pan to the Fatboy, does the sound become more louder?????

While the FatBoy is louder, there is a separate preamp for each pickup inside the bass. We will adjust the gain of the FatBoy pickup at the factory so the pan control will have the same volume at either end.

Thanx your help to make my bass. Thanx, Thanx, Thanx.....

Not a problem, Shim. The pickup leads will be long enough that you can swap them around if you want to try the other configuration. We will supply with FatBoy in the bridge position and regular AXY in the neck.

From your last email, I understand you want the same body shape as on the Raging Bass Featured Custom.  
 
Please confirm that you want the regular omega carving instead of the heart omega that is on Raging Bass.

The omega shape I think you want was the same as Bird of Prey, and you don't want it round.  
 
Let me know if I've got these details correct.
