3 pick-up basses

[Doctor J]

The Godin Shifter is a fairly tasteful looking instrument, it must be said.

Hands over the three pickups... typical - great bass.

Ive got the all black bison bass. My favourite bass ive ever had. Absolutely love it. I have the seetings on 'Bass' selector on 'B' and the tone pretty much all bass. Sounds amazing

Big Al bass SSS

It's pretty great, very modern sounding though.

My favourite setting is all three on in active, low and high mid along with treble boost and bass flat.

It's kind of like a mix between a J and a Stingray with added bass and clarity.

You guys are making me want to take a router to my newly acquired Ryder!

I'd love me one of these

[Duarte]

[Musicman20]

Wow, I've never seen that - looks sooooo cool!

Have a Big Al 4SSS and a EBMM 25th Anni 5HSS, both wicked sounding 3-PU basses.
Love running all PU's together, gives a very nice complexity and fullness to the sound.

Interesting thread
My old Warwick Streamer had 3.

[fragglefart]

Man that looks awesome.

Fun to play?

Much more interesting than I expected!
What happened to the Streamer? Looks like someone took out the bridge "J", invented a new position for it further up than the original neck pick-up.
I think the Bridge rout has been extended, such that the front coil of the MMHB sits where the old single-coil was. If the HHHB had a tap, that could give a lot of differing tones.
If done as explained above, the cost isn't even that great (assuming it had J/J Barts in the first place) I like it. Very clever. Ticks a lot of boxes without too much messing about.

I bought it brand new like that from the bass center in Wapping in 89.
I think it was some kind of custom model, and may of been just a one-off. Even the Guys at Warwick couldn't find out a lot of info about it.
I liked it a lot and it was the only bass I used for 20 odd years. Great sound with a lot of punch. Weighed a ton tho.
It went off to a guy in Norway in the end.
