Red… Royalty?
Maybe that’s why they finally ditched red for green in France and only pretended it was for a greener image

Somewhere down the road (at the end of the Middle Ages), red was replaced by blue as the color for royalty. Here’s a little article about the subject (using Google translate)
Love you man

I just put the Dogal strings on and already love it, it sounds like a normal set of full size string, which is the big hurdle for a 23" scale bass. While it’s not cheap but it’s worth it. The original Kala strings has this nasal overtone not very bright.
Hopefully I get to set intonation and play some tonight.

For happiness and friendliness I like the color green. Green is the color of money. Most merchants are happier to see you and serve you in a friendly manner if you have $$$$.

LOL…that was me when I was younger and had more anger issues. Now I’m old and far more peaceful. If they would’ve just legalized pot 50 years ago my entire life may have been more peaceful.

I’d go with Fralin, @JerryP. I researched P pups heavily.
Fralin was what I was going to install on a Sire P5 I had in my sights before I got my Cutlass instead.

I’m looking for something that will drop in without routing or body modifications. I have no problem soldering.
