Have you posted any photos of your 60s basses anywhere on here? I'd be interested in seeing them - especially the Burns Sonic, since one of those was the first bass I ever owned. Mine is hardly in original condition, as it had been extensively modified by a previous owner, and I made more modifications in order to keep it playable. I also had a Futurama bass as my spare for a while (and a Baldwin 12-string), and still have a soft spot for the more unusual (but still usable) 60s instruments.

I've just posted a photo of my Burns Sonic in the the gear porn section under 'Burns Basses'. I will put photos of my VOX Clubman and Bassmasters when after i've re-assembled them as i still have a bit to do on these.

Way way back in time around 1993 , one of the larger shops in Brum ( Jones & Crossland iirc) had a Fender Jazz for sale that had a loaded strat scrachplate / pickups fitted. I played it and it sounded OK., at least in the shop. and I was almost tempted. So the answer is yes, it works sometimes anyway.

Cant help but wonder about how it got to be that way, who would do such a thing ?
