yes I do have a bass, but I need bass AND guitar strings on the same instrument. and guitar strings sound like crap on a bass. I've thought about it alot of ways and it's the only way to get the sound I want.

I've rigged it very poorly right now, and the guitar pickups seem to work well enough. I filed down the bridge to fit the strings in, and uncoiled the end of the strings to fit them through the tremolo. I had to put them in backwards, and then re-attach the little balls at the end to get them through. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience doing this, and knows of a better way...
