Like the hidden pickup, but it needs something for your thumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I like it. There's something quite pervy about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras52 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm almost* in love. Does that make me a pervert? * If it had a classic P pickup and no dot markers I would be head over heels. (Is that pickup more like a Ray-sounding sort of thing?) I don't need another bass, I'm skint, and yet I feel a strange urge to make enquiries about a custom build...

LukeFRC Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 random, active buffering of the pickups, but then a passive tone stack.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I had a headless bass built by Mark a few months ago - some may remember my thread about the optimum distance for the p/ups - this might be my only concern...he does good work!
