GarethFlatlands Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 No way my small girly hands could manage a beast like that, but it's beautiful anyway. Congrats on the purchase, I hope it was worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_zimmerman Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Dead sexy! I wasn't sure what I'd think about that very "woody" fretboard with the black finish, but they go together great! Can't wait to hear the in-hand review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Bass Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Not 100% sure. Perhaps Alan can help. I dont pick it up till next Sat but as i understand it it can swap between two humbuckers in the front and back and all four on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hi All four coils in series. Both sets of two in series but going out in parallel. One set of two in series. That is what Aaron sent for the wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my immediate impression is that it is by far the best bass i have ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Holy moly that's a lovely bass. Very interested in how the four coil pup sounds and I love the way in which the body doesn't detract from, and highlights in fact, the absolutely stunning bookmatched fretboard. Enjoy it in good health!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
