well i still think that just because it doesn't matter much on DT records that his tone is 'undesirable' or doesn't sit well in the mix, doesn't mean that he shouldn't care about his tone.
i was just highlighting his apathetic attitude towards tone.
lest there should be such a thing that a bassist is too good to care about tone, or that the music his band makes warrants him not to care about tone. anyway, in conventional thought, if a bassist could make any aspect of his playing better, why isn't he doing it? myung has other ideas though, but it's difficult to understand some aspects of his interpretation of the instrument, and while to each his own, it is not something that many would model (for good reasons). i'm just trying to say that there shouldn't be reasons why people don't need to care about tone.
tone aside, he is a technically gifted musician, that is something you can't deny.
anyway back to the topic, you could probably try yamaha's or ibanez's. those can probably do modern easily. i would advise against swapping pups, especially on classic designs. some pups were voiced with the characteristics of certain instruments in mind i.e. the swap may not pay off.
