    There was a time when I checked Ebay every day. Each time when I saw one of these pop up, I put a bid on it. And I won several auctions. But that was over 10 - 15 years ago. Haven't bought one in ages. Tried to build my own at a certain point, but that project never came to fruition... https://www.facebook.com/basvarken/videos/483578832934300

    And here's another. A short scale semi-acoustic bass from the Czech brand BaCH. Originally it had just one mudbucker at the neck. Just like an EB-2 I put two Gibson lo-z stacked humbuckers from a Les Paul Bass in it. Did not install a three position selector switch for the three coil taps on each pickup. But decided to only wire the full windings of each pickup. The toggle is to chose neck, both or bridge pickup.

    I used one of those in my modified Pearl Export Bass too. This Pearl originally was identical to the Epiphone Genesis Bass. With chrome cased humbuckers. But I replaced the original pickups with a Gibson lo-z stacked humbucker from a Les Paul Bass in the middle position. And a Gibson lo-z stacked humbucker for a Les Paul Recording Guitar in the bridge position. As you can see the guitar pickup is a bit smaller than the bass pickup.

    Yes, from a Gibson Les Paul Bass (aka Triumph)

    Last friday (october 11) I did a reunion gig with my old band Superfloor in LuxorLive, Arnhem. The band faded out like a night candle some 12 years ago. But yesterday we were on fire again 😉 Superfloor was always a band with just one guitarist. But for this unique occasion guitarists Frank van der Wiel and Jeffrey Migchelsen arranged the songs for two guitars. Like this song "I Want You To Leave" got a double lead part and a blistering solo duel. And here's another one called Get Out Of Here Plus some cool pics that our good friend Ariane took

    My 1969 Gibson Les Paul Bass and my self built copy from 2015. The copy features Gibson lo-z guitar pickups instead of bass pickups.

    Seems appropriate on this day where John Entwistle would have turned 80. Two Brooks Fenderbirds next to each other.

    Oh wow! The Brooks DDB (aka Double Duane Bird) is Bass Of The Week over @ NoTreble Such an honor to see my creation featured on their site! https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2024/10/07/bass-of-the-week-brooks-duane-double-bird/ Check it out (and maybe leave a comment at the bottom of the page 🤩 )

    Here's my modified Epiphone Jack Casady Signature bass. I was not impressed by the Electar pickup that Jack Casady developed in cooperation with Epiphone. He claimed it was much better than the original lo-z humbucker that Gibson used in the (original) Les Paul Signature Bass. I replaced it with a genuine Gibson stacked lo-z humbucker from a Les Paul bass. Inspired by the first edition of the Gibson Les Paul Signature bass with cream oval shaped pickup. In my opinion it is a huge improvement. The Gibson pickup has a more authoritative sound and better dynamic response.

    The Gibson IV is basically a Thunderbird in disguise. It has a mahogany body and neck. And TB+ humbuckers. Controls are VVT.

    The 12-string bridge set was custom made by ETS Hardware in Germany. And the 4-string set comes for Philadelphia Luthiers.

    It's really good quality. Just dirt cheap.

    I use really cheap rattle cans from a store called Action. €3 per can.

    I used a few coats of Nitrocellulose clear. And let that cure for a bit. Then switched to Acrylic. Because it's cheaper and easier to work with basically.
