Actually I found music man stingrays to have a better slap tone than fingerstyle. [/quote:276xbfk5]
I owned a Stingray 5 for awhile. I never slap, and that was one reason we parted. It has a very aggressive tone, but even better for slap. I plan on going for a Z2 just because I love the bridge-only tone but it could use some more fullness. A Mach II in the bridge and another "bridge" pickup a little closer to the neck = awesome.

[quote="FrankM":276xbfk5]BTW, I've been in the works w/ Sheldon about making a Z3 p'up arrangement on a new bass, so I can get that music man (Z2) tone, and still dial in a neck p'up if need be. The question is the time frame, and of course whether he can add this p'up arrangement to an already existing body jigs. Something to think about[/quote:276xbfk5]
I was asking about this too. You'll probably get the first, but hopefully by the time I can afford one it will be an option.
