tommorichards Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Ive got these two pickups which i think will work well together. Ones from a hohner headless, and the other NOS marauder pickup. So i want to make a bass for them, but i dont know what kinda shape to do. Anyone got any ideas? Here are the pickups in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 This is the first time I've encountered someone wanting to build a bass around a set of pups, excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I would go solid body with symmetrical double cutaways and a 2+2 headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Reminds me of some footage of the Who from a TV show where Keith Moon was playing a clear perspex kit and one of the floor toms was full of water with goldfish swimming in it. When the host commented on it querying wether it was cruel, Keith Moon responded with the classic "Nonsense. Goldfish love rock and roll!"
