Keep the guitar strings on, de-tune it with a heavy guitar string (like a.52), swap the pick-up for an "Invader" and use an outboard Harmonizer (set for lower harmonix, 3,5,7 whatever), throw some distortion in and YOU WILL be able to plow dirt with the sound ! You don't need to re-invent the wheel to get the sound you're looking for but maybe you're on to some cutting edge stuff here...(tee-hee)....Have fun :D...BTW, if you do this, you will not only save $$$, but you'll end up with a much more versatile axe in that you will also be able to create different sounds with the harmonizer......I use a Lexicon MP-100 and I use the pitch (harmonizer)setting for some gutter stuff (through the Marshall) and I can tell ya, If it gets anymore gutteral than that, I'd need a ladder to climb back out....:D
